Look at all the people that came to honour them and be here. Just shows you how much they were respected and loved.

[@thaddcorbett2148]

Yup. And I'm glad it turned out that way. I'm an Oil fan but I lived a lot of my life in Vancouver and when the Sedins were drafted they didn't get a lot of good PR. I don't know what percent of people out there were calling them the twins and speaking of them in ill context like they were not alpha enough to life up to their draft pedigree, but it took a long time to hear that talk go away. Best brother duo to ever play hockey.

You can tell for sure they turned the volume down on the broadcast because it was so loud. I can't imagine what it was like inside of the building itself. I'm a Stars fan, but I've watched Canuck games ever since the twins got drafted. They're two of my favorite player's. I don't care if people call me a bandwagoner, I love and play the game of hockey myself. As long as the games are good I'll watch any hockey game! The Twins made it that much more fun to watch with the insane chemistry and ability's they had. I agree whole heartedly, Enjoy your retirement gentlemen! You have earned it!

There’s an interview they did where they were quizzed about their careers. They were asked to guess their combined penalty minutes. They both got it wrong obviously however they were exactly as far away as each other from the right one. I don’t remmener by how much but let’s say for example they had 1000 penalty minutes for simplicity. Daniel guessed 750 and henrik would have guessed 1250.

I would rather have the memories of the Sedins growing up than the memory of a cup win. What they did and how they acted influenced British Columbia’s youth for their entire careers and I’m so very happy to have had them on the team. Even if they didn’t win a cup.

[@johnbrowne3950]

As a Bruins fan who always referred to the "Sedin sisters," I take that insult back now that they are retired. Of course they were a class act all the way and great players as everyone knows. This was a terrific ceremony. Bieksa was a hoot.

[@TH-tl6sy]

As an Oiler fan there was always a rivalry playing the Canucks because of how often we faced each other but you could never dislike the Sedins. Nothing but respect for their skill, their class and how they played the game. As a fan of the game, doesn't matter what Jersey someone wears, you always appreciates classy players that played the game the right way. Back in 2000 Canadian teams all seemed to have that great example for kids coming up no matter which team the cheered for. Sedins Ryan Smyth Jerome Iginla Mats Sundin Saku Koivu Daniel Alfredsson. You could hate playing another team, but there were always players on certain teams you could never hate. Well deserved by Daniel and Henrik and as a hockey fan a big thank you for making the game better and setting an example for the next generation.

[@deceitive3338]

Thanks for the epic send-off you guys gave them in their final game, couldn't have asked for a better farewell on the road.

[@dr.strangelove7788]

IMO, the smartest players that I’ve ever seen. Passing it directly to an opposing player coming off the bench to draw a “too many men” penalty, rifling the puck off the end boards directly to the other one to negate icing (before they changed the rules). So many.

[@yossarian1633]

Very classy ceremony fitting two fantastic members of the Vancouver organization!

[@nathanforsythe8480]

was really happy to see the Sedin’s mention Edler. Always felt that he was overlooked. Especially, since he was not the headline Swede on the team. Even today the way the Canucks play and their record this season with and without Edler shows his significance. So personally that moment was pretty cool to me. Seeing Hansen there was honestly amazing. Again, a very overlooked player who provided depth and at his peak, he would’ve excelled in the playoffs with that energy he played with every night. I do wish we got to see Bertuzzi as I guess in reality he pushed the Sedin era into action. But more so they knew how dominant he was and some ‘Canucks in Cars’ episode, Daniel says that Bertuzzi was the most dominant player he shared teams with.

This hits me HARD. I am a leaf fan at heart but I live on the west coast and the twins are the first players I can ever remember following from their draft day to retirement and now to this. Their career's mark my beginnings as a hockey fan in general. I knew about them before i had any idea i was a leaf fan. They deserve everything they have ever gotten. I will never forget the cup run. Grats 22 and 33. Next stop on this surreal journey, the hall of fame speech. Respect.

Kept the tears at bay. Was difficult. Damn those seasonal allergies. Great job Canucks! Great to have had witnessed that live. "Boys become men, men become leaders, and leaders become legends."

[@paulnielsen1592]

I have been a Canuck fan my whole life. My first game was Linden's rookie year and I cannot say anything bad about the Sedin's. They fought hard to get better and they did get better every year of their career. They displayed great class and sportsmanship. Them leading the Canucks back onto the ice to say farewell to Ryan Smyth is one of my all time favourite sporting moments. There are and have been many players that are capable of making a defender or two look really bad but the Sedin's together had the ability to make all 6 guys on the ice look really bad. It was amazing watching them wear down defenders throughout the game and finally get a couple big shifts and a little Sedinery in the third simply because the other team was gassed or they get on with the third pair on the ice and pin them in their own end. Yes it is a shame that they didn't win a cup and to all of the haters out there that say us Vancouver fans are only celebrating the Sedins because they are the best we have ever had and that if we had a cup or two we wouldn't care about them. There are 29 other teams in the NHL that would have loved to have these guys throughout their career whether they had won cups or not. I guarantee you that if they had announced they were going to retire at the end of the season earlier than they did that there would have been a lot of farewell tributes across the league in many different buildings. Either organized by the opposing teams themselves or artificially created by the fans in the building. True hockey fans can appreciate their great skill, tenacity, and class and are willing to show respect to those that have earned it, and Daniel and Hank have more than earned it.

Sometimes you can be a bad player & to win the cup just because of your teammate's achievements without done anything to deserve it individually in a short career without being remembered in people's memory...But instead, you can achieve greatness in long time not only on the ice but also as a human being to make your team stronger in characters, mentally & be a great example for the new generation as players to become LEGENDS by those values & fighting spirits that this 2 stars shown throw out their careers are more meaningful & inspiring as athletes than just a cup...Thank you Sedin´s for all hard work, discipline & giving us all such beautiful memories for all these years..I wish you both & your families all the best in life forever to come...

People underestimate the impact the Sedins have had on hockey. They've greatly influenced play, and demonstrated you could be great hockey players and men AND be non-violent.

[@aneilp7631]

@John Johnson That was hardly an elbow. Daniel came up a little high but his elbow was tucked. It didn't warrant Keith's retaliation. The latter play wasn't even remotely a hockey play, as Keith made absolutely no attempt to play the puck and just went for Daniel's head. Anyway, no player is perfect and the Sedins conceded this much about themselves when they retired. Everyone wants to win. The OP only meant that the Sedins set an example that most are inclined to follow.

[@dtrain9911]

John Johnson Duncan Keith takes a cheap shot at a player like Daniel we are going to remember that it was a dirty hit

[@nathanforsythe8480]

John Johnson If you believe retaliating to an act of violence with another act of violence is the correct decision, that would be concerning. If you are just reciting what happened then okay I guess. Keith is an amazing player who played his junior years in my hometown and I would argue that he is the greatest defensemen of his era and that is coming from a Canucks fan during the rivalry years.
