Poem on behalf of my Blueshirt Underground Radio friends. Let's go Rangers! 10/5/16

Let's talk about the road less traveled-
Searched for by all...
Found only by a chosen few.
Like an eccentric episode of Survivor,
With battles for supremacy by dueling teams
Using only ice, sticks, and a puck.
We know in the end there can be only one;
So let the battle begin,
And let's talk about the will to win
To prove who's really the best...
To see which names are etched in metal,
And who tastes the sting of defeat.
The beginning has only now arrived-
Delivering the season of battle
Over the chalice of Lord Stanley.
Our Boys in Blue will ensure tales
Of grandeur, daring, and hope;
So, with glasses raised, I proudly proclaim
A toast to the Boys in Blue...


Gather 'round for hockey's now here!
Blueshirt faithful, let's give a cheer!
Offer toasts for the brave Boys in Blue,
And sing of the deeds you know they'll do.

Come worship Henrik the King-
Of his great deeds you'll oft' sing.
All you mere peasants who dare enter
You'll soon find he's our brave defender.

All you fans in Rangerland,
Let's leave no outpost unmanned-
Safeguarded so trouble's not knee-deep.
(Lest our brave Captain finds us asleep!)

May he always lead them in battles,
And not stop 'til their foe's death rattles.
May our brave Knights, on their swiftest steeds,
Run rampant 'til the last foe concedes.

May the boys fight 'til the campaigns end;
'Til the last heroic toast is penned.
May our defenders protect them all,
(Even those called Girardi and Staal.)

So now a new season begins;
Other teams must pay for their sins.
Our boys will keep fighting their way back;
May they always be on the attack.

Fight on! 'Til the battle's done;
Fight on! 'Til the last battle's won.
Fight on! 'Til there's no one left to pursue,
And may they always fear our brave Boys in Blue.
