Shane O'Brien: As a typical newbie, my sister and I are going down the roster for the Vancouver Canucks. On our first few weeks as fans, we are wondering who is #55. "#55 is sooo hot" we then searched for his name.. "Shane O'Brien" - what a pretty name.. we then shearched for a shirt and a jersey, surprise surprise there's none or at least at that time its nowhere to be found. This was the playoff time so yeah go figure. After a few months, I saw this article on Canucks.com please forgive me I forgot the username and he described each player. (mind you this kept me occupied for a few days). As I was reading, every single Canuck are either "in a relationship" or "married", well that's a bummer! Until I saw O'Brien's profile - Ding Ding Ding! (got this from @BCBerrie - I hope you don't mind me using it) we have a winner - SINGLE people.. don't get me wrong, its not like I am hoping to be Mrs. O'Brien (just writing it makes me shudder - I mean I'd love to but hello!!! *reality check please!*) It's just nice to know that there is a -.01% of meeting him and knowing that he is available. This started the let's walk around granville and see if he's there. Once you see it OMG.. the lineup is as long as the lineup for iphone4! Forget that!
I'm just saying that this is where it all started. My love for SOB, I know most of you think he's not professional and that canucks are better off especially with what he said when he left, but people don't you understand? He was hurt. He wasn't even probably able to bid his roxy chicks goodbye.. (look at me making jokes, sorry SOB - just had to!) One thing I will never ever forget about him is what he did with Simmonds agains the freaking La Kings. I love what he did there, he is as passionate as I am and he gets so worked up about things like that, it may not be professional but thats what I liked most about him. He loved being a Canuck but obviously, not enough for AV to make him stay. I totally agree that he didn't show it as much as he should have.
"Shane O'Brien is a good canadian kid" - Don Cherry - watching that video hurt my heart a little bit, call me emotional I dont care. Maybe I'm just being such a woman about this I'm allowed! I am a fuckin woman! So to all of you who hates O'Brien I couldn't care less! Bottom line is I love SOB.
Andrew Alberts: When the trading season started before last year's playoffs I was wondering who will I mourn over again. I am the type of fan that can't easily adjust with the changes in the roster. I know I am not alone on this one. When I found out that the only thing that will be traded would be the draft pick, I was relieved, I saw Alberts and the first thought that entered my brain is. "OMG we definitely have a match up for dustin buttuglien" and boy was I wrong! During the first few games, I was thinkin "give the guy a break cmon, he's trying to fit in". He is trying to see who he can be more comfortable being partnered with, but oh boy are we so quick to judge. I felt horrible for this guy. Being a recent newbie myself that's gotta be tough. Moving to a totally different city having new teammates, you gotta give this guy a break. In my opinion, even if he admit it or not, he got all the negativity to his head that it stressed him out and it definitely showed in his performance. I JUST went through that so I'd know. You worry too much and then it screws you up. Its a fuckin lose lose situation. Believe me it is frustrating to know that you are consistently screwing up your chances. This season though is very different for him. He has been great, but then again its preseason but hey! that earned him a job! I do believe that Alberts will be able to prove himself that he is not the same screw up defenceman that took dumb penalties during last year's playoff games! But then again, what do I know? I'm just an emotional woman ranting over my favorite canucks players. :)
So who do I love the most? I'll let you decide,, I think it's pretty obvious.. but I do like them both :)
One final word: BELIEVE! :) -- We believed we will win the Gold Medals in the 2010 Olympic games, we did not own the entire podium, but we definitely earned the highest spot and won the most GOLD medals, so I say, let's believe in Alberts, let's believe in our team, and we will win the Stanley Cup! :) GO Canucks GO !!!
