An Open Letter to the Sabres
by Merv Burger on May.13, 2007, under General
Dear Buffalo Sabres,
WAKE THE FUCK UP. Two straight losses at home isn’t going to cut it.
Miller can’t do everything. He’s a goalie. Not a brick wall.
Stop playing like you’ve never played hockey in your life. Start playing like you were during the regular season, like you want to win. Wait, fuck that. Play like you need to win.
Shoot at the goal more. Stop this fancy “line up the perfect shot” stuff, just shoot to the net where you think the holes are. And if you get blocked, get people to handle the rebound. You won’t score goals by not shooting, and you won’t score goals by not capitalizing on rebounds. You won’t confuse Emery on the first shot, it will take second or third rebounds to get him out of position.
Show them in Ottawa what we’re made of. Don’t disappoint the city that loves you so much. We already have the Bills to do that.
