25 games in, the team looks horrendous, I’ve decided that I am going to write about what I want, and not what’s popular. I’m sick of blogging about bad players and a fruit basket team…blah blah blah.
Big AP is now the only thing I have to look forward to on game nights. I’m guessing he’ll earn a bunch more games too, seeing as he’s one of the few that believes in hitting and playing physical. I guess this is going to turn into a rant because (now that I think about it) I am pretty sick of getting questioned for owning his jersey. At least once a game, some drunk at the arena will always say: “Oh, you got a Peters jersey?”
Here’s what I’ve wanted to say to you all, but have been too polite to say in the past.
Yeah, it does fucking say PETERS on the back doesn’t it? Jeez, must have been my mistake. I wanted it to be a Vanek. Guess the people at the Sabres store really boned me this time. Thanks for pointing out something totally obvious. I mean seriously? By the way, your sweet ass Mair jersey is pretty cool. :barf:
What has he ever done to you? I know Petey is no Rob Ray, but let’s get serious; Rayzor wasn’t exactly Gretzky on his skates either. As for you casual fans who say that he sucks: I think you suck. A 4th line player is NOT put out there to score. A 4th line player is NOT put out there to dangle through defenders. A 4th like player IS supposed to hit, scrap, and bring energy to the team and building. You tell me…seems like he does his job.
I know many of you “mouse potatoes” love to call an Enforcer useless, but the fact of the matter is that the Enforcer has been around since oh, I don’t know, the first ever face-off? Tell me, how many of you 9 to 5′ers would actually try to engage in a fight with a man ranging anywhere from 6′2-200 to 6′8-260?
That’s what I thought (Not very many). So the next time you go down to the arena maybe you should think to yourself: There’s a guy that actually gives a damn about this team and city. I don’t see him calling out the fans like Boo Stafford. Peters gets paid the least, but is probably respected most on the team…and that’s what really matters. Hey, I know it’s all about winning. After all, no one cares about charities (Family Justice Center, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) or the guy that throws pucks to little kids.
I hope Peters signs a 10 year deal. 76 FTW.
Feel free to comment, I won’t turtle (Patty).
