Why I Think Hockey is God’s Favorite Sport

Grown men gliding on razor blades attached to their feet,
Slamming into each other at thirteen miles per hour,
And occasionally getting into fights
Which lands them in the box for five minutes.
I think it is the sport which God smiles at
For it is the one that most reveals His cautious will
And His striving with every one of our movements.
There is no reason every one of those men
Shouldn't be wheeled out every night in a stretcher.
And if that is not evidence of faith,
I know not what is.

All Philly

Eagles,

6’ers

Phillies

Flyers.

 

I love my Philly teams.

 

In the eagles,

Carson Wentz is injury prone.

He always gets taken out of the game.

We made it to the playoffs by the skin of our teeth.

We like our O and D lines in Philly,

One of the few team bases who make the linebackers stars.

 

The 76’ers

Ben and Joel are good players.

But, they don’t like each other it seems.

They always do better when not playing with one another.

Tobias Harris is good,

But we need someone who can shoot more consistent threes.

Ben makes a good layup

And Joel, when he’s not injured,

Can shoot pretty well,

But the team is never right in the chemistry

When they’re all together.

 

Phillies, Bryce Harper was overpaid

But, he did a decent job this year.

Rhys Hoskins was a bust.

We had a good base runner in McCutchin

And a good first at bat.

But he got hurt.

 

In the Flyers,

There aren’t any shining stars

But they win some games.

Hart, their goalie,

Is alright,—

But Voracek

Giroux and Lindblom

Are decent.

We had a lot of shoot outs this year

That I saw,

And a lot of games won or lost in overtime.
