[Canuckle1970]

Thanks, Zombo!

These remaining games are going to be extra special now with the Sedins' retiring. Plus, it'll be Gaudette's 3rd game and I hope he keeps getting more and more comfortable with the NHL speed. Hope he stays with Virtanen.

I've spent so much time today reading about the Sedins that I didn't notice if Demko went back to Utica.

You sure?

Lets start the win streak for the rest of season we got to now

Lets start the win streak for the rest of season we got to now

I'm not sure it matters.

When Trevor Linden and Markus Naslund played their final games with the Vancouver Canucks, the team lost seven of their final eight games of the season and fell out of a playoff spot. It was a disaster.

Naslund's final game was not celebrated; instead, he was effectively booed out of town, although Linden received much fanfare in his final games with the team.

Ten years later, the only lasting memory from that final stretch of games is the last game against Calgary -- or, more specifically, the third period and post-game handshake. It was a blowout in which Jarome Iginla scored his 50th goal of the season and Roberto Luongo was pulled from the net. Nobody remembers that. Nobody remembers the beautiful backhand-roof goal that Byron Ritchie scored.

This is what people remember:

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Sellout at Rogers Arena ..emotions high on the heels of Sedins retirement..playoff atmosphere..Canucks win handily.

 

[Zombotron]

I will be amused if Detroit wins and Tomas Tatar factors into a Vegas victory over Vancouver

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Please lose this in regulation and guarantee a top 9 pick.

And if Detroit manages to win tomorrow this dramatically increases our odds of finishing bottom 5.

 

[Intangibos]

Taking my mom to the game, she loves the Sedins and cried so I need to suspend my crippling boycott of this franchise.

Thinking of embarrassing her (in good fun) with a tank sign, or even worse something about Linden who is the only player she's ever liked as much as the Sedins. Suggestions? Keep in mind that I almost certainly won't follow through because of how apathetic I am about his team.

I was there and all I remember were the Trevor Linden chants.

Sadly won't be able to see the Sedins last game.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Will the Leipsic/Gaudette/Virtanen dream be real today? Let's hope.

 

[PG Canuck]

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.

 

[JuniorNelson]

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.

 

[M2Beezy]

Hoping for a first goal by Gaudette and ANOTHER strong performance

 

[WinterEmpire]

This will be the Sedins last ever game vs a playoff bound team. Crazy

 

[BlueGreen]

Nice thread, just lose baby. Not taking anything away from the Sedins, they’re incredible. Thank you for everything you’ve done. I’m just thinking about the future.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Looking for two losses and a final Sedin game win.

So, 4-3 Vegas

Hank, Daniel and Gaudette.

 

[DL44]

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?

 

[duplo]

give the sedins f***ing icetime. no more of this 12 minute trash for the last three games.
