Congratulations Alex.  Thank you for slaying the dragon, and thank you for being the 3rd Sedin for all these years!

 

We Are All Canucks!

 

PS - with all due respect VC, this should be in Canucks talk... Alex is a Canuck 110%!! :)

I don't think people realize how big a deal it was this guy even got to the NHL.   Moreover, besides an unreal work ethic and mental toughness to believe in himself when no one else would, there is one reason this undrafted player was able to have an amazing NHL career versus just a coffee or three.   Alex should have a framed picture of the Sedins in his home that he thanks every single day for the rest of his life.

Very true. They brought the best out in him, and he in turn was the best linemate they ever had.

Wish he was with the Utica Comets as a part of player development. If there's anyone that's a perfect symbol of never say die, never give up your dreams its Burrows.

Good luck in your new career Alex. Interesting how he got snapped up in a job right away.
