a/n: whoo.... go sabres, i'm a little behind on these, but i'd appreciate reviews anyway :)

Better Luck Next Time

Yep. ‘Tis that time of year again. Playoffs. And let me just tell you, with the way Philadelphia played, they had it coming. The Sabres just had too much for them to handle (of course). Sure, the Flyers like to think that they’re all that just cuz they have Peter Forsberg. I mean, come on, he’s so amazing, right? Uh-huh. Have you ever looked at this man? He rivals Frankenstein in terms of looks. Besides, he’s gotta be one of the dirtiest players in the NHL I’ve ever seen. mutters not that that he ever gets called on any of his stupid tricks… Not to mention it was totally not cool of him to send his “servants,” er, I mean, fellow players after Campbell just for making an awesomely clean hit on Umberger.

Yeah. That was the hit that they showed about a billion times during the post game and Sports Center. My personal favorite part of that hit, was how when Umberger sat up, he didn’t even know where the hell he was. Actually the sucky part about it was how Philadelphia felt the need to get ‘revenge’ on poor Campbell.

Yep. With all this and more dirty deeds flashing through my mind, I sit and write my lovely letter to Peter Forsberg, even though I know it’s terribly late. (After all, they Sabres have already advanced onto the Eastern Conference Finals against Carolina) It isn’t too terribly rude… It reads something like this…

Dear Mr. Peter Forsberg,

First I’d like to offer my apologies. I find it horribly heartbreaking to know that you’ve been knocked out of the playoffs by such a fabulous team like the Sabres. I mean, they’re so young, too! It must have been quite the shocker to find yourself so free to go play golf as often as you wanted so soon! Yes, Andrew Peters gave Toronto quite the demonstration right before the playoffs even began. I can only imagine how disappointed you were to see that your underhanded tricks and all that sweet talking you did the refs wasn’t going to get you into the next round. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Must really suck. Too bad I don’t really care.

Maybe I’d be a tad bit more sympathetic if you hadn’t punched Daniel Briere that one game… Really, I’m inclined to think that the only reason Phili made it so far, was you and all your smooth talk, Mr. Forsberg. I know that you’ve had several affairs with many of the referee’s, but it’s really not fair to use that to your advantage. I mean, they loved those hot steamy nights so much that they’ll let you off of anything. And I do mean anything. sigh Tis all in the past now…

Wishing You Better Luck Next Time,

An Ecstatic Sabres Fan

See? I bet he’s a gonna get the message too. Well, one can only hope… Seems like I’ll be having to send out a letter to Mr. Neil from Ottawa next…
