Dear Alex,
We want you to win it.
We want you to win it because you slayed the dragon.
We want you to win it because you saved the franchise, and took the Sedins to new heights.
We want you to win it for every undrafted twenty-year-old kid. Every kid who still has that burning passion, that fire inside, and that unwillingness to give up on their dreams.
We want you to win it to show big Jake, that where you're drafted and how talented you are is meaningless if you're not willing to work. If you're not willing to give your heart to the sport and put every ounce of effort you have into every game.
We want you to win it because you're the ultimate competitor, the toughest to play against, and the best teammate.
We want to see you shoot that arrow to the sky one more time, and then lift the cup towards Luc.
And let’s be honest; we want you to win it just to piss off all the haters one more time.
Signed sincerely,
A Canucks fan
