Rangerland Vignettes

I.
 
a classic winter--
pucks in the other team's goal
and a Rangers win
 
 
II.
 
puck departs zooming
sliding across bright white ice--
thud! glove save, Lundqvist!
 
 
III.
 
flying across ice
graceful skating abounds--
gleaming silver blades
 
 
IV.
 
empty net beckons
Grabner on a breakaway--
swoosh! one more tally
 
 
V.
 
blue, red, and white--
shielding Rangerland from
winters cold stare
 
 
VI.
 
ratling sabres
echoing across the pond--
winter is here
 
 
VII.
 
grooves in the snow--
pings echo above the crowd
chanting for Henrik
 
 
VIII.
 
old frozen pond--
lives vicariously through
a frozen black dot
 
 
IX.
 
Rangerland--
safe haven for fans since
nineteen twenty-six
 
 
X.
 
laughter fills the air
amongst yelling and bad words--
Jim's big epic rant
