Some folks in Vancouver make me sick. That is why 1040 is no longer afiliated with the Canucks. They are a cancer to the sports seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucksfan555 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I have to admit reading the article made me smile but at the same time it made me a little sad too.. this just signalled that there last hurrah is upon us! Two of the most classy players to ever lace them up... It will be a sad sad day when that day comes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 We have a player in Bo and possibly Boeser who look like the type of guys who would devote their entire careers to one organization. They could hopefully be part of a cup winning team and have their names enshrined in Canuck history. Let's show them how to treat frachise type of players and allow two of our best players to go out with class. Let's cheer the twins on even as they regress. Let's not criticise them or call them selfish for not wanting to move on and bring some return to the frachise. These guys have been class acts and have lived and breath "Canucks". Hopefully we, as fans will be so fortunate to see more players of their character grace our uniforms in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggins Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 5 hours ago, Salacious Crumb said: If forced to place a wager I would bet they don't get traded ever. Maybe retire from the NHL and play a year or two in the SEL but no trade at the deadline. They've already said it's Vancouver or nothing. They've said several times over the past two years when they finish here they retire as players. They've also said when they retire they're staying in Vancouver for at least a year before deciding if it's stay or return to Sweden. All their kids were born here, schooled here, and their friends are here. Vancouver is their home. Thus they are likely remaining Vancouverites in retirement. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if they become Canadian citizens themselves after they retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpluto96 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Classy guys. I know it's a stretch but it would be nice for the crowd at Rogers to give them more applause and chant their names more often. A standing O from time to time to show our appreciation. It just might be the last season to do so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the most dominant brothers in professional sports history. Lets not forget they are the only brother combo to win the art ross trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any trade proposals involving the Sedins should be immediately locked and that user should be banned. Jam Banning will never trade the twins. Your absolutely correct. They keep saying it over and over again. I must say after reading this I understand more why they tried to keep things going. These guys will always be two of the greatest players ever to grace our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rocket Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I hope we bring them back for 1 more year, if they're willing to take a big discount. If they're at next years camp when guys like petterson dahlen and boeser are legitimate threats to join the team, they will help push those young guys to their absolute limits. I think it's safe to say part of the reason Bo has already broken through is ceiling (at least based on what people were saying at his draft) is thanks to the Sedins.

But years ago they said that when they finish their NHL careers they will then go back to Sweden and play for Modo. Of course that was before they had children born and raised in Vancouver, something that can certainly change your outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add the twins to it and they are the best at it. As far as overall hockey families it's hard to beat the Sutter's... Although the three Hulls did some damage too...Edit: The Howes did pretty good too. And so did the Gretzky's ha ha. Those points add up just because of Wayne.

189lb enforcers? Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Identical twins accomplishing what they have will almost certainly never be duplicated. I wonder what would have happened if they had been on separate teams? Part of me thinks that the bizarre twin ESP thing was a huge part of their success and point totals. It really was moments of amazement and awe watching the Sedins read the play during their peaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't spend as much of the off season in Sweden as they use to. I suspect that may have to do with the kids getting older and wanting more summer time with their friends here.

Ronaldoescobar Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I may be a bit different than most on in this topic but after reading this it just makes me angry... Angry at fans, the media and specially angry at other NHL players (Benn & Seguin for example - fu*king pu**ies) that disrespect them so much and all they have done is repaid everyone with hard work and class to the very end. People say they are weak and call them "sisters" and I still maintain they are two of the toughest guys in the league to put up with all the crap they do when the NHL turns a blind eye to the harassment they have endured.
