You know what? I'm pissed at this team. So much talent. So little drive. So, in an effort to blow off some steam, I took my "Flush the Tragic Season" headline to its logical conclusion and penned a little ditty about our New York Rangers to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon." Hope you like it.
Flush This Tragic Season*
Flush this tragic season, at MSG
And banish it to a remote spot, of my beer-soaked mem-o-ree!
Little Glennie Sather loved that Stanley Cup
And brought in Trots and Messier to help him hoist one up, oh
Flush this tragic season, at MSG
And banish it to the darkest depths, of my beer-soaked mem-o-ree!
Flush this tragic season, at MSG
And banish it to the darkest depths, of my beer-soaked mem-o-ree!
We thought that we’d be better, with Kaspar and Holik
But soon the New York Ranger “ship” sprang several mighty leaks!
The whole bluline corps is injured, our goalie broke his head
The season’s only halfway through, but our playoff hopes are dead! Oh,
CHORUS
Just what is Trottier’s system, would you call it “Run and Gun?”
I think I’ve got a better name – let’s call it “None and Done!”
Sure there have been bright spots, like Mike Dunham and Petro,
But chances are you missed those games, ‘cuz they were on Metro!
Soon it will be April, the playoffs will begin
We’ll get to watch the other teams play on ESPN
I’ve had it with these Rangers, intensity they lack
Perhaps next year I’ll stay in state, and follow the Wolf Pack!
CHORUS
*with no apologies to Peter, Paul and Mary. Get a haricut, hippies!
