From a Fan to the Sedin's;
We watched you as kids struggling to adapt to a different game, with the language and your confidence. Many of us ridiculed you as being "soft" and "timid", unable to be worthy of your draft status. A few of us recognized that you didn't really get scored on very often and ate up the clock, a valuable asset when leading a game.
Later on you started to take over on the power play, started "owning" the puck and making the 2nd unit respectful and dangerous.
With the dismantling of the Westcoast Express we could see and doubted whether you could take over as "the guys", you were good but were you good enough to be the leaders this team needed? There was doubt everywhere even the new GM, Gillis stated his doubts. Then a strange thing happened, the season started and the men that showed up to play weren't two young undeveloped Swedish kids, they were men that stepped their game up to a new level as leaders.
We watched you grow into franchise players, take the team to numerous playoff appearances and become icons for the franchise on and off the ice, anonymous donor's of 1 million dollars to the children's hospital. Sedin's became synonymous with being Canucks.
We truly wish you could have carried the team to win the grail, but it can't be done alone and circumstances made it just not in the cards.
BUT, if you did go to a different team and win a cup, Vancouver fans would gain a little pride knowing that Vancouver's Sedin's helped and a small part of Vancouver also won a cup. I could see it now as you brought the cup to Vancouver, it's not our team winning it but it is the next best thing, our Sedins.
