C'mon Mats, We're Good Guys

After a summer of exchanging flirty eyes around the office, Mats Sundin has officially decided to get his loving from someone other than the Montreal Canadiens.

Its too bad, Mats. Its your decision to make, but we would have made a great couple. We would have been the perfect couple.

We're a trailblazing young upstart brimming with confidence after coming off some big success. Our biggest need is something to guarantee that we keep our momentum going. Having you on our arm would have convinced everyone, including ourselves, that we have all the tools to move in permanently with all the big swingers. We're young, and we have real talent, bright eyes, and big dreams. However, we're no sure thing at this point, but with you we would be. It'd be the best ride you'd ever been on.

You're a living legacy still at the top of your game, just like you have been for years. Only, the difference is you can't bide your time anymore. Your only play here is to go all-in with the best young stud you fit with. You can still be the alpha dog, the big name, the trump card, and the best player. Lets face it, you were never good enough to do it all by yourself. But don't be sad, very few can. You're great, but no one is going to remember anything that special. But if we teamed up, and it worked, that would be something no one would ever forget.

But, you're going to pick someone else. The Toronto Maple Leafs were once real power-players, but have been jokes around here for a long time. If you stay, all you're going to be doing is cementing that you're the type who goes down with the ship. Sounds intriguing, but anyone who's been around as long as you have knows there's no glory in that.

The New York Rangers may wear the most expensive suits around here, but look, those suits don't even look very good, do they? It's all show, no substance. Drury, Gomez, Redden, Markus Naslund? Are you kidding me? Lundqvist is the only blue chipper, and its not like he's all that specail. You can do better than this, don't be fooled by those suits. We've got nice enough clothes, and all the real talent.

But I guess it didn't work out. Well, we might not be a sure thing, but we were your best shot. I guess we'll take our chances with Robert Lang. Its not quite the entrance we wanted to make, but we'll end up doing fine. Will you??
