Figure I would post this play here as more people will see than in the NHL forum.

The Canucks Hall of Famers Henrik and Daniel Sedin play their last home game tonight. They Announced their retirement plans on Monday.

They are playing the Arizona Coyotes who are hotter than Hell the Yotes are -114 Favs so you get +103 on this play if you jump now...


The Sedins mostly disrespected around the league as soft ....are nothing but they changed the game, both played over 1000 games in the NHL and amassed over 1,000 points each....known for the cycle ...the slap pass.... and once had a 2 minute shift entirely in the Oilers zone. ( Most NHL shifts avg 45 seconds). The phrase "Sedinery" is often attached their style of play

The Twins are beloved in the city google early pictures of these monsters and you'll laugh - but they have endured themselves to this city. By being consement pros - Made huge donations to the Children's hospital and have mentored the new crop of young Canucks but like all pros Father time has caught up with them and even though their stats are better than last year with decreased ice time they decided to Hang them up to free up cap space and playing time for the young guns.

In their first game since announcing their retirement the Canucks came from 3 goals down to tie the Las Vegas Knights. The game when to a shoot out - I am not saying the Knights let the Canucks off the matt but they did stay on the ice after the game to Salute them and shake hands. The atmosphere was electric in the building that night and should be off the chains tonight given that the last 3 seasons have been less than memorable the Twins and rest of the NUCKS show up tonight and if you believe Kobe really scored 60 in his last game the YOTES who are long gone from the play offs may not want to spoil the party.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The Vancouver Canucks were eliminated from the playoffs several weeks ago, but they still have something to play for Thursday night.
The Canucks (30-40-10) will strive to earn a win against the Phoenix Coyotes (29-40-11) as twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin play their final home for the only NHL club they have known.


"We definitely want to make their last game here memorable and (we) want to try and get a win for them," rookie Canucks winger Adam Gaudette told reporters Wednesday after an optional practice.

A sellout crowd is expected for the second straight game, with tickets again fetching premium prices, after the Sedins announced their retirement Monday. Daniel Sedin told reporters that Thursday's contest will stand out more in their minds than the boisterous scene Tuesday, when the Canucks lost to the Vegas Golden Knights in a shootout in which both Sedins participated.


"It's a chance for us to thank the fans, it's more that than anything else," Daniel Sedin said. "Time flies. It will be over before we know it. We're going to enjoy it and treat it like a normal game. (Thursday) will be more emotional. I think that's when you realize ... you've probably taken your last steps on the ice. It will be special."


Several tributes are planned for the 37-year-olds during the game as their parents, two older brothers and other friends and former teammates join the crowd.


Among other special happenings, the club's nightly 50/50 will start at C$400,000 and lights outside Rogers Arena and within Vancouver's city limits will shine blue and yellow (Sweden's colors) in tribute to the Swedish siblings.

The Sedins' teammates plan to enjoy the occasion, too.


"It's the end of an era," center Bo Horvat, who is a strong candidate to replace Henrik Sedin as captain next season, told reporters. "It's the end of an amazing career for those guys.

"To be part of it is really special for me."


Although the Canucks and Coyotes will miss the playoffs, the game -- the second-last for each club -- holds some significance in the standings. With a win, Arizona can move a point ahead of the Canucks and leave Vancouver last in the Western Conference. Thursday's result could also affect the teams' 2018 draft position, depending on how lottery balls fall.


The Canucks and Coyotes have been playing well, much to the chagrin of fans who want them to tank during the stretch run and improve their draft hopes. Vancouver has won five of seven games, while Arizona has two straight victories and six in the past eight outings.


The Canucks might need to worry about one of their former players. Coyotes defenseman Kevin Connauton, who was drafted by the Canucks and spent most of his time in their farm system, has been on a scoring tear lately.

He scored the winning goal and added an assist in Arizona's 4-1 victory over Calgary on Tuesday and has 10 goals since the all-star break -- after scoring only once in his first 42 games.

"I'm playing a lot more confident -- using my skating, using my shot," the 28-year-old, who is due to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, told reporters. "(I) had a rough year last year with injuries and then sitting out (as a healthy scratch.) So the beginning of the year, I was still trying to get back to my game, but I think I'm back there now."


Connauton might see more playing time than usual Thursday. Fellow Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who was injured in Calgary, will not be in the lineup. The Coyotes recalled Dakota Mermis from the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League to fill in for him.


Chychrun suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury when he was tripped from behind by Calgary's Michael Frolik. Arizona coach Rick Tocchet took exception to Frolik's action.

"I know he's not a dirty player, but it's a dirty play," Tocchet told reporters. "I don't like it at all."
