7:25 Pre-Game

The day is done and dinner, too
It's time for the pre-game show
I'm in my room with The Hockey News
Tuning in my radio

Announcers' voices fill the air
The game's about to start
Songs of patriotism blare
I admit, they warm my heart

The puck is dropped, the game's underway
I listen with intensity
I get an image from the play-by-play
My mind's eye seeing clearly

Throughout the game, excitement reigns
This truly is the best
Tuned in to a hockey game
Tuned out to all the rest

This poem is a great poem because it shows the importantence of hockey to the fans. In the last stanza it says "tuned in to a hockey game, tuned out to all the rest". This means that when this fan is watching hockey or listening to the game, its all they think about. It is like a get away from the rest of the world.
