After 17 seasons all with the one club (Vancouver canucks) Twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin have chosen to retire. Even though they are both 50 point scorers this year.
Two of the classiest, skilful, and under-rated players ever to play in the NHL. They were drafted together, and will retire together.
Proof that 'lizard brain' does exist, the telepathy between these two was amazing to watch.
True to their understated form, they have announced their retirement with only three games to go.
A sad retirement (for me) but I wish them all the very best.

The list of individual accomplishments they’ll walk away with is extensive. They’re two of just 87 players all-time to top 1,000 career points, a feat that requires a combination of miraculous longevity and talent. If you’re looking at a franchise record for the Canucks, chances are one of them holds it. They each have an Art Ross Trophy, with Henrik winning the Hart Trophy as the league’s most valuable player in his season (2009-2010) and Daniel earning it the next. In that two year stretch when they were at their peak, the numbers they managed to pile up were straight out of a video game.
