I hope we don’t win another game, 3 loses would be great, we don’t need anymore points to screw us at the draft
This is true. Time to be PRACTICAL not EMOTIONAL folks. I want a cup not a final win for the Sedins. They will survive with another loss

Green says that Gaudette, Virtanen and Leipsic will be on a line tonight. I'll be interested to see that. Motte sits in order to maintain his waiver-free status.

Anyone else think that the Twins let their teammates know a few games ago that this was it for them... and it's what has helped prompt this run?
Edler said yesterday that he knew but Virtanen/Markstrom said that the Sedins announced it to the team yesterday morning so I’m guessing only the guys closest to the Sedins knew.

I'm excited to see how that line does. Could be a real pesky line that sticks for a couple years if they click.

I hope we actually see a pesky side from 1 of those players, let alone 3 lol. Leipsic is far from a Marchand/Burrows so far in his NHL career. Virtanen hasn’t really gotten under a team’s skin often enough. Gaudette is TBD.

I don’t care about any other player at this point. They can all screw off. Only the Sedins matter.

I don’t care about Virtanen and his 10 bad angle shots. I don’t care about Horvat being a bull driving to the net and creating chances. I don’t care how bad Pouliot is.

Only watching because it’s the last time to see the Sedins.
You have some anger issues, my friend. :)

Sedins chose a brief farewell. I am imagining this is a favor to the club. What would the talk be like if Sedins made their announcement in the off season? Nostalgia can deflect a lot of criticism.
I actually believe the Twins knew they were retiring well before Christmas.

Yet, they didn't want to be a distraction to the team.

True, subtle, and amazing team players.

Long term Sutter is still the 3C, that means Leipsic-Gaudette-Virtanen is either the 4th line for the next 2 years or the 2nd line for the next 2 years. One outcome is a huge disappointment (4th liners) and the other outcome is also a huge disappointment (weak 2nd line barring amazing developments). IMHO they will be split up, at least one player will be moved off.

I feel like I just broke up with someone... you kind of know it's coming, but still devastated when it happens.

We will never see two of the best innovators of the new era like this again.

Just as you can't mention the Sedins without the word 'class' attached, they deserve so much more credit for what they did in the locker room, and more importantly, the city of Vancouver.

The NHL will never see two amazing, and classy, people like this again.
