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).
I got one word to describe to you how Petey’s fighting has come back to the fore: Hordichuk. HELL YEA that was a sweeet beating
I <3 AP. Only one thing I have to say: If he sucks, why is he playing pro-hockey, let alone having a full-time job in NH-effing-L???
Peters is okay in my book. He bulked up again and got back his swagger.
Let’s hope he keeps it up.
Peters sucks, he gets his ass kicked everytime or just holds the guys shirt. It’s ok to regret a jersey purchase, you might feel better.
Anonymous, what a tough guy.
Way to man up.
I love Andrew times a million. But, you know, people argue with my opinions all the time so… haha
He’s a good guy, at least I know that is 100% true.
Oh, but I must add I still love Patrick Kaleta.
OH nice anonymous u fucken pussy. i bet i could kik ur fucken ass.
u fucken pusy. i bet u havent even put on a pair of skates in ur life.
he has skills i mean. to be in the NHL one must be good at hockey. so he may not be a scorer. or a play maker. but i garentee peters is still better then ugh… 90 % of the rest of the world … idk maybe more.
u just see andrew peters the player n judge him. theres more to just the peters u see on the ice. its how he is a good team player. how many of the guys on the team respect n like him. how lindy likes him. how he is kind n a nice guy.
he does his job as well as he can n thats all i can ask. n i garentee its better than “mr. anonymous” could do. so talk all u want.
i mean
im sure petey dont really care
hes the one makin good money. wat do u work at burger king, “mr anonymous”??
feel free to find me on myspace n talk all the crap u want.
but serously. i would totally love to engaged with n go toe to toe with any nhl enforcer. lol tho theyd all kill me… sept chris neil.
n yes im a die hard fan… n a fan he gave a puck to lol
PETERS # 76 FOR LIFE!!
Hahaha. Passion.
yeah…. gotta rep AP
Oh, dear Lord…
I don’t think anyone can doubt that Peters brings passion and enthusiasm to the team. Nobody is trying to take that away from him. And the changing nature of the NHL has made having a goon somewhere on the roster a necessity. But Peters does lack some basic hockey skills, and the fact that a nine to fiver like me doesn’t want to “engage in a fight with him” does not change that fact.
So, wear the Peters jersey all you like – I agree that it beats wearing the jersey of some soulless schlub like Afinogenov or Connolly. But damn, don’t take criticism of your favorite player so personally.
lol. i take er thing personally.
i cant help it
Haha. It does get personal though. Especially like I said at home games being mocked.
Here’s people in a Sucklinder jersey coming after me lol
