Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

I was sitting in my parent's house in my shorts and tshirt watchin the tsn draft rankings. They had me at 23rd. I sure hope I didn't end up a 23rd draft pick,I had played my *** off at the Memorial Cup and deserved a higher ranking than that...These scouts didn't know JACK ****. My favourite team would have to be the Washington Capitals as I followed them from pretty much day 1 of my life,but my 2nd favourite team would have to be the Vancouver Canucks because they are simply a great team and they are my home team.
Growing up I was never that great with the ladies,I was always too nervous around them and never had the balls to take a relationship further than hugging. Why? Well I don't know why,I'm not gay although some guys call me gay at my high school. I would love to go further with a girl but I just dont have the looks to even intrest a girl in me. Growing up from age 13 I had bad acne but I was muscular and skinny,I'm not really sure wh girls didn't look at me the way I saw myself. Maybe looks really do mean everything.
Later that day after I took a good 2 hour nap I went to go play some Modern Warfare 2,oh by the way my Gamertag is LuongoIsJesus if anyone want's to add me to play,just try not to give it out to too many people as I don't want it publicized. I was playing with some good friends when my dad walked in...My dad never liked the idea of video games as he though it wasted my time,I could care less as I was about to be drafted and I should be able to do whatever I want. "Son,just so you know I hope you can break the top 15 and I believe in you. I just wanted to tell you...I love you." All I could do was shake my head and said "I love you too dad" and then we shook hands. I didn't care where I got drafted at all,as long as it has some decent looking girls

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

This was it,the World Prospects vs the North American Juniors. They Juniors had an advantage over the Prospects as the Juniors have way better goaltending,defense and offense in my opnion. The game was about to start I was PUMPED. The team all huddled in the center of the room. Feeling the emotion coming of these guys was insane. Just knowing we would be going out there and putting on a show for the fans was the best part of the night...I had hoped.
My linemates were Stephan Leclaire and Ed Schneider both of my great friends that I talked to almost every day. Ed was the regular pothead drug addict who was REALLY good at hockey and Stephen was that guy who didn't care about anyone but his friends,which I love because he is our centerman tonigh and he will set me up I know for sure. This was it. My chance to prove what I'm worth.
In the 1st period it was a fast paced game. My team was up 4-0 after 1 period of play. I scored 2 of the goals in the 1st period while Stephan and Ed got the others. The 1st period was very one sided as the other team didn't stand a chance against our powerhouse line. In the 2nd I scored another goal to get a hattrick!

...But our own player Eager put it into our net when he was retrieving a dumped puck,what a *******. In the 3rd period things started to slow back down and we only got a goal while the Prospects got one aswell. Ed had scored our goal while Tomas Kvasha had scored for the Prospects. At the end of the game I was the 1st star with 3 Goals and 3 Assists!!! I played so well! My linemates got 2nd and 3rd star. Stephan getting 2nd star with 2 Goals and 2 Assists and Ed getting 3rd star with 1 Goal and 2 Assists. We beat the Prospects 6-3.
After the game I went home. There my dad was in his bathrobe waiting for me...

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

I couldn't believe it. I had just read an article my dad passed to me saying I would be playing for the Vancouver Canucks...I didn't think this was true as the draft hadn't happened yet. Somehow I didn't trust the article at ALL. If it was true I would be happy as the Canucks are close to home so I can still live at home and eat mom's great food! So I went to sleep and awoke the next morning...My parents had got me up at 1AM for the flight to Los Angeles for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. I was pumped. I had to get dressed in my suit and wear it for a long time though. I was nervously sitting on the plane by myself when the stewardess came by offering me something "Would you like ANYTHING Mr.Smyth?" she said with a flirtatious smile...I then thought it over in my head,where could I **** her without people noticing?..."Uhh did you say I could have ANYTHING?" I replied with a wink. She then answered me "Yes anything baby" She then pulled her skirtup revealing her lacy pink thong. I knew this was gonna be my first time and I made sure I had a condom with me before we had sex. Let me just tell you,it was great. She was a hot blonde stewardess and she was really the GREATEST **** ever. She had the tightest ***** in the world...After I came we flushed the condom down the toilet and she left before me...I had to relieve myself of how great that was...Later she came by asking for my number and so I gave it to her,she then told me her name was Allison. I thanked her for the great time and then asked for a water. She then brought me 2 waters and an extra special meal she had made for me as the actual airplane food was terrible. Let's just say this is the beginning of a new relationship. When we reached Los Angeles we had to quickly get a taxi to the Staples center and find seats.
Finally we sat down,I looked all the way around me. I noticed Stephan sitting RIGHT behind me and I was glad he was because I would be able to rub it in his face if I got drafted before him and vice versa. Now th drafting had begun. Stephan was drafted at #4 by the Ottawa Senators,I congratulated him with a handshake and a hug. He then came back and sat down behind me. "Haha,look at who the rookie is now eh?" he jokingly said to me..."Oh shut up Stephan,you just watch,the team I get drafted by will be better than yours without a doubt." and hell was I right. I got drafted 8th Overall by the Vancouver Canucks,MY HOMETOWN TEAM. I couldn't believe it,I was as jittery as a school girl. After I had recieved my jersey from Mike Gillis and the boys I had texted Allison "Hey babe,I just got drafted by the Vancouver Canucks...Hope to see you soon" she replied "WHAT!?!?! You're a hockey player? NO WAY!!! lol we have to hook up again if you know wut i mean

xoxoxo Allison (congrats Braeden)"...Later I had rented a car so we could drive around Los Angeles and view the sites and see other stuff. My parents had enjoyed it so we decided we would stay here for a week just to get away from things.

Braeden Smyth the brand new Vancouver Canuck sporting #44!

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

While we were over in Los Angeles I had decided to drive down to the Staples Center to check it out. As I was driving I got a buzz in my pants,so I reaced down and picked up my phone.
It was Todd Bertuzzi my newly acquired teammate. He had texted me "congratz on getting drafted kid.change your number though,i rock the 44 in vancity. later." So I texted him back saying "thanks bert. and yeah i'll change it to 69 . pce."
Later on the way to the Staples Center I had decided to go to the Sonic to get a burger and a shake. I had ordered a double cheeseburger with a strawberry milkshake. It was DELICIOUS. After finishing up I went outside...
As I was walking out to my car I noticed a small knife on the ground and then look at my car. The tires were slashed. OH GREAT. Just when things were going good for me. Now I had to call my parents over at the hotel room.
*ring-ring* Hello?...Hey mom,I'm at the Sonic and my tires have been slashed by some punk *** kids,do you think you can look in the phonebook for the nearest repair shop?...Sure thing sweetie,there's one 3 blocks from the Sonic. If you need any money let us know ok?...Yeah mom,thanks. Love you...Love you too,bye!
Now I had to walk 3 blocks all the way to the nearest repair shop to get tires back on my car. I was getting close to the repair shop and then I bumped into none other than the punk who slashed my tires. I knew it was him cause he had knifes all over him in his sleeves and everything. He told me his name,it was Graham Morrisson. I told him if he ****ed with me again I would personally come to his house slit his throat and **** in his ******* lunchbox. Then he ran away with his dick in between his legs like a fairy.
As I got to the repair shop the mechanic looked at me and asked what I wanted...I told him I need 4 tires on a car. He said ok and I hopped into his truck and he drove to the Sonic. This guy was your average mechanic,mexican chubby and smells like BO...
As he got to the car he told me that this had happened to people a lot in California/LA and to not be worried. I told him I wasn't worried one bit,he then took a look at my face and noticed the hat I was wearing. It was my draft day hat. He asked what my name was and I replied Braeden Smyth...His jaw dropped and said YOU GOT PICKED 8TH OVERALL BY THE CANUCKS TODAY RIGHT!? I told him yeah man,your a fan?...He then jumped up and unzipped his mechanic suit and it showed a Canucks tshirt,he told me he wore it everywhere.
Later after he finished the tires he told me not to pay him. I then asked for his address and he told me 309 Quinteras Boulevard...He then asked me for an autograph which I gladly gave to him.
As I got to the hotel room my parents were ready to go and were eager to leave the place. Our flight was for 6pm at night. Hopefully Allison was on that flight I'm talking home.

How was I going to repay that mechanic for the tires?...Maybe I'll try and get him some tickets to a game and let him meet our team,if management could do that.
Will Braeden see Allison again?? Will the mechanic get his tickets? Find out soon in the Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story.

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

As my mom,dad and I were on the road we noticed a homeless man with a sign around his neck that read "Need money,family died in Haiti"...So my dad rolled down the window and yelled "Get a job you bum!!!" I was EXTREMELY embarrased.
5 minutes later we arrived at the airport only to notice that there were security guards everywhere and they were filing people to and from places and checking them with metal detectors.
I then went up to this pretty fine looking woman police officer and asked her what was going on. I noticed her name was Lieutenant Crosby she told me that there was a bomb threat at the airport and I wasn't sure what to say so I said "Oh,ok...Thanks for letting me know. By the way are you related to Sidney Crosby?" She then quickly replied with a shy no and walked away.
After getting through baggage we quickly got on our plane and were on the way home to Vancouver. Thank god. I missed my house,my xbox and my dog Marco. Marco was a black sheppard and he can only see out of 1 eye right now as he is about as old as I am,he's 16 and I'm only 18.
30 minutes later I awoke to the sight of some very nice cleavage right in my face. I then looked up and recognized that face,it was ALLISON. I couldn't believe my mind. As soon as I started to calm myself down I slowly moved my hand to her *** and she looked down and SCREAMED my name so the whole plane heard it.
I was pretty embarrased but it's not a bad thing that a hot stewardess yells your name

. I then asked her how it's going and how things are back at home. She told me "good,the days are really hot back in Vancouver but not as hot as the days here in LA." Then winking at me,I asked her if she had been to the beach lately cause she looked pretty tan from the last time I saw her. Then she replied "Yeah,actually I went there with a few of my girlfriends and we went and tried to find some cute guys,only because I missed you so much!!

" She was then slowly pulling down her **** to let her tits out more,GOD did I ever love this girl.
When she came back I asked her for a can of coke and she brought it to me. Then when I asked her for her address she gave it to me. I then looked down and then just realized that was the house DIRECTLY in front of mine!!! This was going to be a good Summer.
As we were getting off the plane I told her I would see her later and gave her a big hug and kissed her. After meeting up with my parents we went and had dinner at the Keg and had some Steak and Lobster. It was pretty good,some cute girls there.
I then got a text from fellow rookie Michael Grabner that he was going to a local club with some of the boys and asked if I would like to come,I then responed "yah sure grabby,who we going with???" then i got a text 2 minutes later saying "nt sure yet looks like me nd u nd shane obrien and bert. i'll pick you up at 10. pce"
As I went up to the shower I noticed a car pull into Allison's driveway. It was a Bentley Contenential GT. I then saw those sexy legs swing out of the car,I knew it was her. Those legs are amazing,just so you know.
After my shower I then phoned her and she answered and we talked about today and how horny she was and could use a good **** right now. God,this girl turns me on SO much. I then told her I was going out to the club with my teammates in 15 minutes and she asked if I could come and I said Not sure,I will have to ask Michael Grabner if you can. I'll call you back babe.
I then texted Grabs and asked "yo is it ok if i got a grl cming?" he replied "yh man sure,idc. as long as it isn't your mom,jk rook. cya in 10"
So I then phone Allison back.
"Hey Allison,Grabner said you can come"
"Oh did he? Well that's good,I REALLY wanna spend more time with you Braeden."
"I want to spend time with you too babe,I really like you"
"Awww I like you too,your really sweet and you turn me on so much"
"Oh do I?...Be outside your house in 10 minutes,Grabner will be there. Oh and just so you know...I live right in front of you..."
"WHAT!?!?! That's AWESOME!!! *hehe* Now we can actually spend time together when you don't have to play hockey

...If you catch my drift"
"I like that idea Allison *aha*. Now I gotta do a few more things before we leave,Grabner will honk don't worry."
"Ok talk to you soon"
"Bye"
I then brushed my teeth and finished getting ready. I then told my mom and dad I was going out and they said alright. I then said bye to Marco and left and stood outside to get some fresh air.
In about 2 minutes I saw Grabners car and jumped in. I then told him to honk the horn,he did. Then we both saw Allison walk out and our jaws dropped...

**Braeden** · 03-24-2010, 10:59 PM

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

As Allison reached the car I told Grabner not to do anything stupid. I introduced them "Allison,Michael" "Michael,Allison"...They both shyly said hi to each other and we were off to the bar. As we got there we saw Bert and the boys. I noticed 2 red head swedish twins...I went up and talked to them while Allison stayed behind with Michael.
"Hey Daniel and Henrik,whatsup?"
"Oh not much,just was waiting for you clowns to get here so we can start this party" they both chimed in at the same time...
"Hahaha yeah,sorry Michael can't drive worth a ****,must be why he's Austrian."
*HAHAHA*-The 3 of us enjoyed a good chuckle.
I then went back to Michael and the rest of the guys and introduced Allison to them. Allison was very glad to meet them and she was flirting with all of them. I noticed all the guys checking her out at the bar and I loved every minute of it. Just noticing how she turned guys heads was a major turn on cause I knew I was getting some of that tonight when we went back to her place.
After the party was over I drove Michael's car home cause he was WASTED. I let Michael stay at my house and he slept in the guest room while Allison and I walked accross the street to her house. Her house was a nice small rancher that was pretty nice inside too. Her bedroom was big,probably the biggest room in the house.
Allison had grabbed a bottle of champaign and she got me to open it. I poured it and once we were finished drinking the whole bottle we ****ed the night away. I knew I had to be at GM Place early in the morning for the pre-game skate.
I saw the numbers flying around me as I skated around. 44,22,33 all these numbers were familiar and I knew who was in those jersies. At the end of the skate we had a shootout for fun. I ended up scoring on a spin-o-rama on Luongo,he laughed it off and I told him "THATS SKILL MOTHER****AAA" He chuckled at me.
Later Mike Gillis pulled me into his office and told me I had 4 games to prove I was worth it at this level of play. Gillis also told me that my line that I was going to be playing on consisted of Alex Burrows and Kyle Wellwood. The next game was Thursday October 1st @ Calgary.

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

We had a good break from the rink for a while so I had decided to try Allison on her cell phone. We had decided to make plans for a good restaurant in Vancouver,the Mongolie Grill. I had picked her up in my car,and damn did she look fine. She was wearing a short red miniskirt,it was kinda hard not to stare

. On the way there Allison has told me she had work in the morning so she had to be home pretty early,it was only 600pm anyways,so no rush.
20 minutes later we arrive at the Mongolie Grill and sit down to wait to be given instructions on what to do. The server had told us to take a bowl and fill it with whatever we wanted in our stir-fry. I had put chicken,onions,green peppers,red peppers and noodles. I think Allison had beef and peppers but I'm not 100% sure,I was too busy checking out her tits,yeah I know...
Once we finished eating the dinner the chef prepared on the big flat grill he has in the middle we were getting up to leave as soon as I heard someone shout out "Yo Smyth you little punk!" I was like '****,who is wanting to **** around with me now!?'...And later we find out Shane O'Brien was there with his girlfriend Brenda. You could tell that they were very close as they looked lost in love. After sitting down and talking with Shane,I exchanged numbers with Brenda when Allison wasn't looking. We got up and left and I told Shane "See ya at the rink,watch your back!"
The total of the bill was $36.28 Not bad for a dinner for 2 that could fill you till next week. On our way home Allison had decided to stop and pickup something from the store. She came back with 2 twix and 2 snickers. She got the twix for me and the snickers for her. We then parked at my house and went over to her house to watch a movie. She chose to watch a ****ty chickflick and she turned it off halfway and we started to make-out. That ended up leading so sex and so on and so forth.
Let's just say I had a good sleep that night

Re: The Path to Greatness--A Braeden Smyth story (NHL10BAP)

After the game Mike Gillis the Canucks general manager had something to tell me.
He told me that I would be in the AHL until my game improved and they saw me working harder. This really broke my heart and I had to get out of my gear and fast away from GM Place.
I just didn't want to think about hockey so I got in my car and drove as fast as I could home.
I was thinking to myself "Why the **** would they put me on the Manitoba Moose!? I had 8 points in 4 NHL games...They're ****ing wacked out I'm telling you..."
As I got home I went to take a shower then I went to take a nap,it wouldn't be easy for my parents to take this. They're 18 year old son will be away from home for quite some time in a while...Last time he left home was when he went to go visit his aunt and uncle in Nova Scotia by himself when he was 15.
Later that night I was awoken from a call to my cell phone,as I answered it I heard a female voice on the other end of the phone crying. It was Allison.
She told me she got fired from Air Canada because the airplane staff had cameras in the plane that pointed towards the bathroom door and they saw that she came in right after I did when we had sex that day...
After 20 minutes of rambling about random **** I told her to come with me to Manitoba and travel,she said ok since she didn't have a job anyways and would be home alone for a bit by herself and I wouldn't be there to accompany her when she needed it.
Needless to say it was gonna be a good time in Manitoba...Least I hope...
