The crowd cheers
Two teams at their best
Final game of seven
They have beaten all the rest
The players pumped
Six games are now done
Three wins for each
Now they must finish their run
The score two two
Six minutes are left
A faceoff set to start
The puck is dropped by the ref
Home team wins the draw
Back to the blue line
The defense move forward
The pass to the wing is fine
Along the boards to find a lane
To make a good play
A pass to the right
The shot is wide by a long way
The visitors have recovered
And make their move
Now five minutes remain
They have something to prove
Up the ice they make the charge
A sweet pass to center
Just like the playbooks
Into the offensive zone they enter
A swift move back to the middle
The perfect shot ready
Sets and shoots away
A save, man this goalie is steady
Down to three minutes in the game
The away team hustles
A winger grabs the puck
Shoots again with all his muscle
Again a save, now totals twenty five
This time by the defence
Recovers the round disc
And the energy begins to get tense
Up they go to try it again
They pass the blue line
Into the away teams zone
Now only forty five seconds left to grind
He finds some space to shoot
A snap shot right
Over the goalies glove
Into the net it's such a sight
The game almost over now
Another faceoff looms
Away goalie pulled
But the home crowd booms
Twenty five seconds remain
The intensity grows
Away team lost the draw
To the defense, away team in tow
A swift pass to the center
He skates so hard
Up to the other end
Away team is on their guard
Fifteen seconds has passed now
Just ten seconds remain
Try to avoid a mistake
And to win the final game
Three two one the horn goes
Home team has won
Worn and so tired now
But the objective has been done
