Confirmed with Link: SEDINS RETIRING - (talk memories, tributes, accolades)

[kaczor]

Haven't posted in ages, despite still following the team. But had to come back and comment in this thread for archival value! Still remember the 99 draft and was cheering for these kids from day 1, obviously. Their perseverance in the early days, and ability and willingness to stay classy all time is commendable. Pure class.

I'm still impressed by the fact that the Sedins always win the fitness tests at training camp. Could the Canucks hire them as fitness consultants for the team?

When you look at the relatively chubby specimens they were when drafted, and see how they developed their strength and stamina over the years, I think they'd have a lot of knowledge and experience to offer any of the younger players who have the same dedication.

as a fan following them from day one, I am so glad they've proven everyone wrong.

the expectations for them, as a fan, was comparable to the impact Thornton, Lecavalier, Heatly was doing for their teams.

The Sedins were slow and weak for the first 4 seasons. It was really tough to watch, them struggle this badly, while other high end picks were doing so well.

Glad they proved EVERYONE wrong.

They would be good mentors for Pettersson this off season. He will have to do a lot of the same development.

22 and 33: Sedin numerology has been incredible (and kind of eery) this week

That is quite something.

Anson Carter seems like a real douche. Besides the fact that he bounced to Columbus for money, he didn't even bother to take 5 seconds of his time to congratulate the Sedins on his active Twitter account. Instead, he engaged in a petty argument on Twitter with Blake Price as to why he refused to come onto the radio to talk about the Sedins.

from what i can see on the twitter thread, i don't think carter comes off badly at all.

on the other hand, all of the people attacking him on that thread come off like entitled dbags (a sentiment echoed by the numerous people supporting him in that thread).

Great memories indeed, and thanks for your NHL careers and entertainment for so many years!

My only comment on that twitter thread is that Blake Price comes off as a f***ing idiot using the term "ergo".

in their last home game, a couple of records were thrown around during the broadcast: with his OT assist, henrik jumped into sole possession of #1 on the all-time regular season overtime assists list. daniel's goal added to his all-time regular season overtime powerplay goals record. but those are pretty random records (especially daniel's) and henrik's will be broken soon enough (getzlaf is one behind). plus, the NHL has only had regular season overtime since the mid-80s, so this technically counts for all-time but not really.

but here is the sedins' true record:

henrik and daniel sedin assisted on the same goal a record 313 times

number two is gretzky and kurri, who assisted on the same goal 204 times
​

hard to see that one broken anytime soon.

Here’s my short film for them.

Great candidates all around, but 2 stand above the rest and should be co-winners as a league send-off #Canucks #thankyouSedins

So how come Van is the only team with two players nominated? They cant tell them apart so what the hell take both?

 

[clunk]

The fact that they're both up there tells me they're pretty much guaranteed to win it.

If they were each nominated as an individual - I'd strongly suspect there would be little chance of either one winning (ie., you have to think some vote splitting would occur).

I wonder who wins...

Isn't it obvious? P.K!!!!!!

 

[RandV]

To be fair while it looks like it should be a shoe in no player has ever won it more than once, and Henrik just won it in 2015-16. He could be giving Daniel the shaft because of that.

Wow a total surprise!
