King_Canuckian Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Good, I like the commitment to them since they have been the face (intentionally left singular) of the franchise for nearly 10 years after Naslund was allowed to test free agency.I could see them having roles in Sweden (as Canuck employees) when they retire - one as a scout, the other as director of player development of Swedish prospects.

bobby-b Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Damn, Mr. Benning is smart... what's he really saying is...

spook007 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Only proper way to treat the twins. Well done Jim Benning.Good to see the Canucks treating their greatest ever players with the dignity they truly deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-By Body Pierce Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 This just increased their trade value! You always want what you can't have!But seriously, the Sedins are basically the second coming of Gretzky x2 and the NHL will most-likely never come across this kind of talent again. The odds of another pair of twins making the NHL are 0 to none.I hope they stay Canucks for life. Well, maybe not zero...http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/twins-kevin-and-kelly-klima-trying-to-land-spots-on-moncton-wildcats-1.3205717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm not saying you have to burn your posters of the boys... but heros they're not... no matter how hard you believe.That's your opinion. I doubt it's the opinion of a lot of other people and it only takes people's mindsets to make a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I sort of expect them to retire here. The only reason they'd leave is if management wanted them to leave, because I can't see the twins wanting to leave. They'll be forever regarded as legends in the annals of Canucks history.

The Lock Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 No... it take accomplished deeds... to be a hero... the twins have accomplished to make themselves stars... that's it.That's All There Ever Was and That's All It Will Ever Be.But, if no one acknowledges the deeds of what "should" be a hero, then that person is not a hero. Similarly, if a person does a few deeds to make many people respect them and view them as a hero, then that person can be deemed as a hero.Society and people choose who the heros are, not the deeds themselves.

Yes, I do take medication - blister packs of it - but most people my age do. I don't think you would want any though: your lock might stop functioning smoothly.

X-PatLostInEdm Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You're right... and I bet they took the credit for it while accepting the Tax-Deductions too... True Heros, EH??They sure did take the credit. After the hospital talked them into it because they figured it would help convince others to donate as well. The donation was originally meant to be anonymous.And you're only a hero if you don't take the deduction?I'll bet you think Santa Claus is a child molester, too.

Dazzle Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You're right... and I bet they took the credit for it while accepting the Tax-Deductions too... True Heros, EH??You do realize there's a motive for hospitals to have the donations make them open right?Hospitals are hoping a well-known celebrity's fame can draw in more donations. Sedins, for example, wanted their donations to be anonymous, yet Children's Hospital (if i'm not mistaken) pushed for them to reveal their identities.Also, tax exemptions are meant as an incentive to donate. Let's just say that you're an ignorant person and we'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
