For 17 seasons, we were blessed to witness some great hockey at the hands of Daniel and Henrik Sedin. They could create something out of nothing, using what Alex Burrows could only describe as their ability to “communicate like dolphins”. Crafty goals, no-look passes, give-and-gos and tic-tac-toes are a mere fraction of what is now dubbed as “Sedinery”.
Individually, they were fantastic players. Together, they were legendary.
