Henrik reaches 800 career points!

[PG Canuck]

Washed up, amirite?!?!

Congrats Hank!

Great accomplishment, he's been great in all aspects for the organization.

And I don't agree with the people saying Daniel hasn't been same since Keith hit, he's fine!

 

[Hopeless Unbeliever]

We've truly been spoilt as fans to have these two great talents in our blue and green for many years. I hope they remain as involved in the community when they retire as Trev is. They seem like great people, and it would be a great injustice to see them retire without a nice shiny ring, IMO.

I would have thought they would go back to Sweden, but I'm sure they'd still be in Vancouver fairly regularly and continue their unbelievable philanthropy.

Hank is the ****ing man, pretty funny how Posters on the main forum dislike him. He's like the nicest superstar ever

Congrats to the Captain on reaching another milestone. Great player and an even better person.

Torts with some praise for Hank:

Translation: Holy **** it's wonderful to have a team where my stars do something!

Nice.

What a great reward for suffering through the dark times of the late 90's. It is good time to be a Canucks fan.

The Sedins (or Henrik & Daniel) need a proper highlight video on youtube. They have scored so many sick goals.

One of the select few players that can makes ofher players better.

Let's see him hit 900 before the season's through.

Why the hell did I go to main forum and read that thread?

Have you guys noticed how people constantly feel the need to make a little disclaimer before they say something positive about the Canucks, lest they be mistaken for a fan? It's like the new "no homo".

"Can't stand the guy, but great accomplishment"
"Hate the Canucks, but good game tonight"
etc.

1200 points would put him comfortably in the top 50 all-time... he's got a shot.

Henrik Sedin is currently 58th in career +/-.... 2pts ahead of Steve Yzerman.

I think he'll stay ppg or slightly above this season, but looking at 5-6 years down the road, I think average 70 pts per season is generous. It would take 6 years at that pace to reach 1200 pts. While it's definitely possible, I don't see the Sedins playing at that level until they're almost 40.

I don't think they want to pull their kids out of school. Lock them up fit 3+ years and they will be in Vancouver for a long time.

6 seasons if he plays through age 39

400 points to reach 1200

That's only 67 points a season. No problem if he can continue to stay healthy and wants to play that long.

Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if the Sedins retire in in 2-3 years. I expect they'll play until they have at least 1000 points though...that has always been a benchmark in the nhl.

Way to be Hank.

Arguably one of the best Canucks of all-time.

The disrespect he and his brother have gotten and still get is probably one of the most unbelievable things you will ever see about HF.

Already one of the best Canucks of all-time.

Congrats to Hank. You know that Daniel cannot be too far behind.

The Sedins have a great capacity to continually grow their game like they are this year. That element makes me think they can have long, long careers if they choose to.

It was easy for me to picture them still being star players in their mid 30's when I looked at guys like Sundin and Alfredsson.
