The Story So Far

An abecedarian poem about the 2023-24 NHL season

By Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Avalanche showing out

Bruins barely staying ahead

Connors--so many Connors

Ducks playing so badly

Edmonton's climbing back

Florida's a bunch of frauds

Georgiev for Vezina, please

Hart for MacKinnon, too

Isles are up and down

Jets are legit

Kings are struggling

Leafs need to bounce back

Matthews is a bad-ass

No chance Vegas repeats

Ottawa is so screwed

Penguins on the rise

Quit mocking the Leafs, please

Rangers are beasts in the East

Seriously, MacKinnon for Hart

Toronto is a legit powerhouse

Unlike the Panthers

Vancouver is kicking ass

Winnipeg is, too

Xennial Oilers fans are delusional

Young stars showing out

Zero playoff games for Sabres, again

For Funsurreal poetryhumor
