The Sedin twins bid a magic farewell to Canucks

The 37-year-old twin brothers Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin from Ornskoldsvik , Sweden, announced last Monday they are retiring from the The National Hockey League (NHal) and ice hockey at the end of the season.

The Sedins are in their 17th season in the N.H.L. all with Vancouver. They are two of the best Swedish Ice Hockey players ever.

They led the Canucks to the Stanley Cup finals in 2011, when they lost to the Boston Bruins in seven games.

Henrik Sedin has 1,068 points (240 goals, 828 assists) in 1,327 regular-season games, while Daniel Sedin has 1,038 points (391 goals, 647 assists) in 1,303 outings.

Henrik this season added 23 goals and 55 assists in 105 playoff games, with Daniel adding 25 goals and 46 assists in 102 games.

Henrik won the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s top scorer in 2009-10 with 112 points. He also won the Hart Trophy as league most valuable player that year.

“We felt the longer the season went, it became clearer to us this was going to be our last year,” Henrik Sedin said at Rogers Arena.

Over the years the brothers captured numerous awards and helped take the Canucks to new heighrs. Art Ross trophies, a Hart trophy, a Ted Lindsay award, and countless All-Star game appearances, all while helping get the Canucks within one game of the Stanley Cup.

The last game this morning was amazing, almost magic, when Vancouver played Arizona at home.

With their traditional numbers 22, Daniel Sedin, and number 33, Henrik Sedin, the stadium gave them a stankdng ovation thorughout the entire last game.

And the meeting with Arizona became so close to a perfect finish where Daniel Sedin could first score 1-1, assisted by the brother before the Sedins also won thegane scoring the last goal in overtime.

But the movie-like finish will be even better if you start studying the numbers.

The first (1-1) goal scored Daniel Sedin (from a pass from Henric #33) 33 seconds into the second period, but it is not enough to coincide. It was Daniel Sedin’s 22nd box for the season.

The last and final goal in overtime was scored by Daniel on a pass from Henric after 2.33 into OT, meaning 22.33 of the last period. Pureöy magic.

Thanks Sedins for everything!
