Sedins Post Game: Special thoughts on special night for special people

Points to ponder during an incredible day in which Henrik and Daniel Sedin had their numbers retired and raised to the rafters before the Canucks authored a fitting tribute with a 3-0 victory over the Blackhawks on Wednesday:— Vancouver #Canucks February 13, 2020CHEERS FOR LUONGO, KESLER: ‘Just being part of a night like tonight, I’m very grateful for it. To hear the loud cheers means a lot to me’

Which brings up the obvious question. What would it mean to Luongo if he is recognized by the organization in some way some day? “They thought like coaches by the time I got here — a strong understanding of what goes into it and to step outside of their own skin. That’s hard to find. It would have been a lot harder for me in their first year if they weren’t wired that way.”

HALL OF FAME CITIZENS: ‘We did everything we could to be the best we could and hopefully inspire with what we did outside of hockey’ “Trying to be the best people we could be,” said Henrik. “Fans can think what they want of us as players — some are going to like us and some aren’t — but if you can be remembered as a good person, that’s No. 1.”

They also started the Sedin Family Foundation that works with schools, community groups and social service agencies to make a difference in the lives of challenged children and families. Added Daniel: “We had Markus and Matthias and Trevor came along, but Henrik and me were pretty much the only young guys. It was tough early on. Fans and media were hard on us but it made us stronger mentally. It made going through tough times easier.”“I doubt it,” said Daniel. “We helped each other since we were little kids and inspiring each other by competing and pushing ourselves because even the first few years over here, we did a lot of talking to get through the tough times.

NOISE NOTICE: Loud noises expected as the @Canucks jersey ceremony for the Sedins takes off tonight from Vancouver. Operations are normal but you may see passengers unexpectedly cheering and perhaps crying in and around YVR. #ThankYouSedins pic.twitter.com/KXQ9gUu0rp “It was like Tuesday. Once we got the first goal in the third period, the crowd just carried us. We tried to stay focussed but it was tough. It seemed like every time we stepped on the ice, they were on their feet. It was nice how things ended. A night like that and a chance to go through it, it’s once in a lifetime and you can’t describe it the feelings.
