nux4lyfe Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 In case anyone missed it. This was a real nice gesture by Henrik Sedin. Gotta love the twins, They do so much on and off the ice, Pure class! Lucic take notes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iviGBxyOdbQ I guess there's more to the story... Young Canucks Fan Gets Hit With Puck, Meets Sedins By Rob Williams | 12:16 pm PST, Sat October 18, 2014 | Speak Up Shares Pretty cool story from the Canucks game in Edmonton last night after a young Canucks fan was hit in the head with a puck. The ‘cool’ part came afterwards. Late in the second period, a young fan wearing a Canucks jersey was struck by a puck after a Nick Bonino clearing attempt deflected off the glass and into the stands. Henrik Sedin showed some great class by immediately handing over his hockey stick for the kid to keep. But the story doesn’t end there. The kid is 12-year old Daniel Praught, a Canucks fan from Fort McMurray. After the game, the young fan got to meet the Sedins and Alex Burrows outside the Canucks dressing room at Rexall Place. Daniel Sedin, not to be outdone by his brother, also signed a stick for the presumably thrilled youngster. Not a bad night, all things considered.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Saw it ! Loved it :D Poor little guy had to take a knock but met his Idol. The TWINS are pure class on and off the ice and i love the fact the entire league knows it and acknowledges it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Not to mention that after the game the kid came down to the dressing room and got the stick signed. https://twitter.com/VanCanucks/status/523329763935805440 https://twitter.com/sportsnetmurph/status/523329528954093568 Canucks are pure class. Makes me love them even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Somehow the Sedins were painted as "the bad guys" in the 2011 SCF. A real shame people bought into the Boston propaganda machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible.dee Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 We may mot have had a lot of on-ice success during the history of this franchise, but with, Smyl, Linden, Nasland and the Sedins we have been absolutely spoiled with people who are worth cheering for.

It was just the "Storyline" fans were picking up on, that final had a ton of mainstream appeal because of it. I live in the States, and during that time tons of non hockey fan Americans were coming up to me and asking about it because they heard of the good guy/bad guy story and they were watching, hasn't happened since, The Canucks have been involved in two of the greatest SCF of all time, in terms of mainstream appeal.

And sadly lost both. I'm still rooting for the Sedins to get what they deserve. They deserve the cup as much as ANY player in the league today.

-DLC- Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 As stated, every warm up Hank picks kids out on the glass and flicks pucks up and over to them (it gets kind of amusing when others try/fail). It's a huge moment for the kids and he never wavers or forgets about them. No ego at all, just a true leader, through and through. Every single game.

48MPHSlapShot Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 We really do have an awesome captain. Remember when Hank was first named captain, and how many people were pissed that it wasn't Kesler?........ .........Yeah, me neither. The really impressive thing is just how fast Henrik gave the kid his stick. Proves that there was no premeditation, just spur of the moment awesomeness by our captain.

Drewismyname Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I wish those were my parents. I woulda just been told to suck it up not escorted to the medical area. Hank is a true leader and good guy. I am sure daniel would agree as his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Old Orca Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 As Canuck Fans we are lucky to have a Pair of Classy Players like the Sedins. There is 29 other teams that wish they could match that kind of Class. Did not know he did that debluvscanucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
