Henrik and Daniel Sedin are forever entrenched in Vancouver Canucks history as the team's all-time scoring leaders, and on Wednesday their lore was furthered as the club retired their jerseys.
The ceremony took place ahead of the Canucks' meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks, withcurrent Vancouver players donning the Sedins' jerseys for the pregame skate before the twinswatched as their Nos. 22 and 33 were lifted to the rafters of Rogers Arena.
As is usual with this type of event, special guests were present and several speeches were made. Kevin Bieksa, who was a longtime teammate of the Sedins, nearly stole the show with a speech that was more Devin Mesoraco Jersey ofa roast at times.

The Sedins' gift isn't just their talents on the ice or their cla s off of it.It's their ability to magnify what's good in those around them. That includes the organization. That includes the Vancouver crowd.What an event. Club knocked it out of the park.
