Twitter Reaction: Canucks should immediately retire Sedins’ numbers

Never another two players like Sedins. https://t.co/raTGvWwhrr

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

The Sedins were still some of the best players on the #Canucks pic.twitter.com/jrBeGZUfDZ

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.

In the salary cap era the Sedins are 5th (Henrik) and 7th (Daniel) in league-wide scoring.

What an incredible run by the Sedins. We're gonna miss these guys https://t.co/x4F6EbQhTK pic.twitter.com/npfV7D6bTi

Here’s to the Sedins, who have been a joy to watch for so long, going out their way, with heads held high.

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

The Sedins retire having achieved the one commodity every Canadian dreams of: owning Vancouver real estate.

Everything the Sedins did embodied character, class and integrity on and off the ice. The two best citizens the Canucks have ever had

if the tribute video doesn’t feature a “thanks” from everyone who scored a goal assisted by both sedins then what’s the point
