From an early age, you can clearly see that Mr. Roy has S(h)ara's favorite Sabre written all over him:
He even wore Staffy's number then, how sweet. Look at those early 90's technicolor laser beams! We all had that school picture option, but Roysie's mom was ballsy enough to choose it for her bad-ass son who, clearly, can pull it off.
Then, dearest Roysie went on to play for the Kitchener Rangers that year and took home the Memorial Cup as team captain:
Then, he won the Stafford Smythe award for Memorial Cup MVP:
Did Soupy ever do any of those things? Nay, I say, nay. Ok, so he won some other awards...but forget those! They don't matter now!
Then! Joy of joys! Roy of Roys! Dearest Royise was drafted! Ok so he was technically drafted before the WJC and before he won the Memorial Cup, but that doesn't matter in this timeline! Along with linemate Pommerdoodle, Royise was drafted in 2001 by our dear, beloved Buffalo Sabres!.........ok so he played for Rochester for a couple seasons first, but check out that roster photo owwwww!, can anyone say smouldering?
And then, one day, new favorite Sabre Roysie, made his way to the Buffalo Sabres line-up:Where he has firmly remained, and shall for several more years, where we hope to see more photos like the following:
But hopefully fewer pictures like this:
Here! Learn about his house!
It is well documented that Derek Roy loves small fuzzy animals, helping the elderly cross the street, singing for orphans, and reading storybooks to blind polar bears at the Buffalo zoo. He is currently injured, and out for the near future, but one day soon, Roysie will return to the ice and take his rightful place as S(h)ara's new favorite Sabre.
From one Derek Roy fan to another, I've got to say, that's the most entertaining thing I've read all year! Two thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteLove that first photo. Was S(h)ara convinced? Does she love Derek Roy now? Hey, if nothing else, he's signed for five more years after this one. He's not going anywhere any time soon!
ReplyDeleteS(h)ara is coming around. It is our mission to make sure we post any and all sweet/cute/endearing things that Roysie does, in order to keep her love strong.
