The French Connection Poem by Michael Fischer

The French Connection

Rating: 5.0


There have been many great lines.
But the greatest line had to be
Buffalo’s own French Connection.

Rene Robert was the right winger;
He was an overall offensive threat
who always put up good numbers.

Rick Martin was the left winger;
He was the sniper of the three.
He had two fifty-two goal seasons.

Gilbert Perreault was the center;
He was perhaps one of the greatest
playmakers ever to play the game.
He brought out nothing but the best
in Rick and Rene every single night.

Thank you Rene, Rick, and Gilbert.
You three were the heart and soul
of this franchise in the 1970’s!

Ahh, a hockey poem. Music to my ears...although, greatest line of all time? The Islander fan in me has to disagree!
