Trampled Hopes

Trampled Hopes

Gloomy skies obscured the Rangers’ stride,
As the Hurricanes reigned, unfazed with pride.
A lackluster duel, a dud to commence,
New year’s dreams squashed, left without defense.

Though fervent hearts yearned for a fiery fight,
A lifeless display cast the night in blight.
The second-place foe eclipsed them all,
Leaving shattered ambitions on the ice to sprawl.

Doubt crept in, casting shadows on their fame,
Yet hope flickered, stubbornly calling their name.
Adversity’s sting fuels a burning desire,
To rise from the ashes, ignite and inspire.

The icy floor conceals a tenacious band,
Resolve rekindled, they’ll rise, hand in hand.
For each setback encountered is but a test,
To triumph and conquer, despite unrest.

Rangers, rise! Reclaim your valor, reclaim your might,
And embark on a journey fueled by resilient fight.
