Not only are the Sedins staples of the Vancouver community, they’re also two of the most universally loved players in the NHL. As a result, many kind words flooded in on social media following the news.
Here are the best tweets and reactions to the Sedins’ retirement.
Very happy for Daniel & Henrik who are leaving the game on their own terms. The Sedins are the best example of class #Canucks fans will ever see, both on & off the ice.
It's very Sedins of them to announce this in the final week of the season. They don't strike me as the type that would want the prolonged farewell tour around the league. Two all-timers, for sure.
The Sedins have been the greatest athletes in the history of Vancouver sports both on and off the ice. There are no words that can accurately describe their impact.
Take the jerseys off their backs at the end of the game on Thursday and retire their numbers on the spot. https://t.co/PWOtMkYicu
A shame to see players as great as the Sedins retire having never won a Stanley Cup. That's going to become increasingly common with so many teams in the league now.
This day and age, we may never see any two players (twins or otherwise) remain teammates for 18 straight years. Kudos to a wonderful career, Sedins. pic.twitter.com/zwajUVPOJa
One of my sons just emailed me an interesting question: where do the Sedins rank among greatest players without a Cup? (Certainly the classiest.) #sedins
