Odd. Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Great that people are finally recognizing. Sedins are hella underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The NHL needs more articles like this. The Sedins are going to be those players that people miss watching. Unfortunately most people wont reflect on this or realize it until they are gone. No body will work the cycle like they do for a long, long time. You know when announcers say "I haven't seen any body (insert hockey play/skill) since __________ back in the 80's". They will be saying that about the Sedins when referencing the cycle and line chemistry 30 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The Sedins they are so hot right now. (Zoolander reference I think. Not even sure of my own references anymore.) The dominoes were sure to fall on the Sedin loving eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 More and more of these types of articles coming out this year. Sedins deserve every one of them. HNIC needs to do a segment next. Finally it's good things you read and hear about players on this team instead of bad. Finally shaking the bad rep this team had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The Sedins sadly enough will be run out of town or forced to retire early before they get envited back the following year to see their jerseys retired to the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Angelo Russell Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Unfortunately they are treated like "low-lifes" by the majority of hockey fans everywhere. Every time I go on TSN or some other hockey forum there are many commenters who never pass up the chance to bash the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're giving the Canucks fan base and management enough credit with this statement. I'm sure if a poll was done now, an overwhelming majority of fans would say they are two of the greatest Canucks ever. They will always be welcomed in BC, this is their home. Hell, they'll probably be offered positions in this organization by Linden if they don't go back to Sweden (which I think they will, anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The Sedin's will not be run out of Vancouver or forced to retire early. That would be a massive black mark on the city if they disrespected the most important players in franchise history. Henrik and Daniel can basically write their own ticket with the Canucks and i'm sure they will make any decision regarding their career with Vancouver's best interest in mind. Even if they do end up being the 'forgotten' superstars of this NHL era, I can guarantee you that a very large portion of the Canuck's fanbase will always remember them and their contributions to the team and city.

apollo Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't get it... They're by far the most dominant forces the nhl has ever seen. They should have numbers retired like 99. They actually dominate in an era where goalies actually have a chance to stop pucks. Put hank and Danny in 99s era and they score just as many if not more points. Sedins > Universe.

HC20.0 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Everyone outside of Vancouver loves to rag on the Twins. It's really sad. From 2009-2012 they were the most dominant players in the game, and are arguably the best duo in NHL history. They don't get the respect they deserve. Two of the best players the NHL's ever seen.

smokes Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Ok so the Sedins have a pretty settled family in Vancouver right? Stan Smyl up to this day is a contributer of the Canucks, Linden is president. with thier hockey smarts, a perfect world would be seeing the Sedins being groomed into management after they retire.

Mcfly Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 They will both have their numbers up and will undoubtedly be HHOFamers. Its surreal to watch them play, knowing this. We are lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokes Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Now what I'd like to see is the Sedins last as long as Jagr or at least Listrom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
