It is only suitable for the talented brothers to enter the Hockey Hall of Fame side by side. The Sedins are 2022 titles selected on Monday, with a decisive West Coast and Sweden feel that includes former Canucks teammate Roberto Luongo, compatriot and former Ottawa Senators leader Daniel Alfredsson, Finnish women player Riiken and Riik builder Herb Carnegie. “It’s not what you think when you play the game,” said Henrik Sedin, who along with his brother and Luongo were in the early years of eligibility in the room. “We always put our heads down and tried to put in our work. “What we were most proud of is that we made the most of our talent.” “It’s a really amazing feeling,” Luongo told a news conference. “It feels surreal.” CLOCKS Daniel and Henrik Sedin have retired to Vancouver:
Daniel and Henrik Sedin have retired to Vancouver
The Swedish superstars were honored on Wednesday in an hourly pregame ceremony. Alfredsson, who has been eligible since 2017, thought he would have to wait at least another year until the phone rang at his home in Sweden. “It is so privileged to be able to play this sport for a living,” he said. “Something I would play for fun for the rest of my life without question.” “I am probably the second best Daniel from this team,” joked Daniel Sentin, who will be 42 years old with his brother when the introductory ceremony takes place in November. “We could not honor more.” Henrik Sedin – No. 3 in the 1999 draft, one place behind Daniel – is Vancouver’s all-time leading scorer (830), points (1,070), games played (1,330) and power-play points (369). The center won the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP and the Art Ross Trophy as top scorer in 2009-10. He added 23 goals and 78 points in 105 playoff games, including the Canoks’ progress to the 2011 Stanley Cup final. If Henrik was the passer on one of the most dangerous lines in hockey, Daniel Seddin was the lover. His 393 goals are the first in the team’s history and the winger is second in assists (648), points (1,041), games played (1,306) and power-play points (367). Daniel Sedin won the Ted Lindsay Award as the league’s MVP as voted by members of the NHL Players’ Association in 2010-11 to go with the Art Ross Trophy. Added 71 points to 102 playoff games. “Just watching them work on the ice and literally knowing where they are without even seeing each other was something that always came to my mind,” Luongo told the Sedins. “They are great teammates. They all loved them, wonderful people. “Not so great players, but this is for another day.” The 2020 version of the hall was finally introduced last November after a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, after the authorities decided not to name a class of 2021. The 18-member selection committee met in person this year for the first time since 2019.
Luongo’s historic career began with the Islanders
Luongo started his career with the New York Islanders and finished with the Florida Panthers. His best moments, however, were on the West Coast. When he retired, Luongo finished third in NHL history with 489 wins, a number that has been surpassed by Marc-Andre Fleury ever since. The 43-year-old is second behind Martin Brodeur in three categories of goalkeeper – games played (1,044), shots against (30,924) and saves (28,409). Luongo twice won 40 games with the Canucks, including an impressive 47 wins in 2006-07, and made at least 70 appearances in four consecutive seasons. “It was the difference to get to the next level,” said Henrik Sedin. “If you’re talking about a winner, this is the guy. “He never took a break.” Finalist for the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top netminder on three occasions, Luongo was just behind Sidney Crosby in the Hart Trophy poll after his campaign with 47 wins. The Montreal native won two Olympic gold medals, leading Canada to the top of the podium in Vancouver in 2010, before supporting Carey Price in Sochi four years later. “It’s a really, really humble experience,” Luongo said before adding about the Sedins. I have. I know.” Best line in hockey Luongo-Sedin-Sedin – @ strombone1
