Confirmed with Link: Henrik Sedin wins 2016 King Clancy Trophy

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Unfortunately nice guys don't win cups.

Congrats to Hank all the same. Best all around player we've ever had.

 

[NuxFan09]

Can, too. Canucks plummet from playoffs to basement in one season. Who led them there?

Great logic.

You're comparing Joe Sakic and Wayne Gretzky to Henrik Sedin...

I had no idea this award has been around for so long. Hank is in some very good company, congrats Hank!

I'd love to see the difference in votes for Henrik and Daniel, Daniel is due!

 

[Saturated Fats]

You're comparing Joe Sakic and Wayne Gretzky to Henrik Sedin...

He's comparing them on the attribute being discussed, which is 'niceness', or more accurately, leadership and contributions to the community.

So he's dead on, really. The comparison is accurate.

in terms of niceness

do you disagree?

 

[PM]

Does this make Daniel the Evil Twin?

 

[Intoewsables]

You're comparing Joe Sakic and Wayne Gretzky to Henrik Sedin...

Are they really that much nicer than Hank?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Is that our future captain in the official pic?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Well done and well deserved. Just a reminder - this is an award for humanitarian contributions off the ice just as much as it is for leadership contributions on it.

Henrik is an extremely deserving recipient of this award. A true gentleman in every sense of the word.

 

[TruGr1t]

Does this make Daniel the Evil Twin?

Hah, I was gonna say ... Daniel's like ... "but we're the same!"

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Good for him!

 

[Hammer79]

Congratulations Henrik!

 

[Win One Before I Die]

No one will ever argue that Henrik isn't a class act, well done.

 

[vancityluongo]

Good to see Henrik recognized league wide. Very few more deserving.

Could definitely see both him and Daniel being contenders for this and the Masterton for the rest of their careers.

 

[Cupless44]

Is that our future captain in the official pic?

Speaking of captains...Henrik is a nice guy, all class, and a quiet leader...but I do look forward to a more demonstrative captain with a bit more jam, just for something different.

Congrats to Hank all the same. Best all around player we've ever had.

Well that's just not true.

 

[TARS]

Is Teemu Selanne a better comparison for you? He seems like a pretty nice dude.

Congrats to Hank all the same. Best all around player we've ever had.

Zetterberg, Francis, Bourque, and Bergeron all won this award, and they won the cup.

*Drops mic*

Wow! I just watched this on youtube... Messier handed out the award, and with him standing right there Henrik named Kurtenbach, Smyl, Linden and Naslund as examples of captains to look up to in terms of what a good captain is off the ice.

Messier looked pissed! Beauty!

 

[Nucker101]

Well deserved.

It's a good thing Mark "Class & Leadership" Messier won one

Best Canuck news I've heard in ages. Great work Hank
