- [Henrik] There came a time where we had to make a decision
if we were to stay or if the Canucks want us back,
and the longer the season went, it became clear to us
that this was going to be our last year.

- [Daniel] We couldn't ask for more than what has
happened so far already this week.
To have Thursday night on the back of our minds,
unbelievable night for us, so we'll really try
to enjoy this last road trip.
- [Connor] It's almost hard to think they're going to play
again after they way they left Vancouver.
It's almost like a storybook ending,
but it's going to be exciting for them.
It's exciting for us to be a part of it.
- As a Vancouver kid,
it's pretty special that I get to play against the Sedins
in their last game.
I remember seeing them when they got drafted
and watching them their whole careers.
- [Narrator] One more game.
One more game to appreciate the moments.
- [Announcer] Wonder twin powers activate.
Are you kidding me?
- [Narrator] One more game to recognize the milestones.
- [Announcer] Daniel centers, Henrik dekes, scores.
One thousand points in the NHL.
Shoots, deflected, scores!
Thousand points for Daniel Sedin.
- [Narrator] One more game for Henrik and Daniel.
It's the Vancouver Canucks and the Edmonton Oilers,
live from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta.
- [Daniel] Throughout the years, we've always been,
it's always been the two of us and we came in as teammates
and we should leave as teammates, too.
I think that's never been a question.
- [Announcer] After an electric performance
in their home ice swan song on Thursday,
their remarkable career has come to an end here tonight
at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
(energetic music)
- [Announcer] Identical twins played 17 years in the NHL,
all of them for the same team and distinguish themselves
as two of the very best players in the game.
It's a wonderful story and the curtain call is here tonight
at Rogers Place.
(energetic music)
- [Narrator] The Edmonton fans helped on by the
big screen here at Rogers Place
and a nice tribute to the Sedin brothers.
- [Henrik] Some fans like us, some fans don't like us
so the least you can do is come in and
treat people like they should be treated
and come in with a smile on your face.
(fans chanting and yelling)
- [Fans Together] 22, 33, 22, 33, 22.
(fans cheering)
Hall of fame, hall of fame,
hall of fame, hall of fame.
- [Announcer] Horn sounds and the Canucks and the Oilers
are going to head to overtime.
Sedin children are getting a good, up-close view of the
end of the careers of their dads.
Daniel, Henrik, dekes,
and I think he put it off the post.
Can you believe that?
First shooter for the Canucks against Talbot.
Scores!
Dad did it and even the fans in Edmonton are cheering.
- [Announcer] How could you not?
I mean, this is just storybook again.
- [Announcer] The careers of the Sedins
are officially over.
The hugs from their teammates
and the Oilers will stick around.
- [Henrik] We wanted to be the guys that,
the go-to guys who took a lot of criticism
when things didn't work out,
but we wanted to be the guys that made those,
the plays that won us games.
There's a lot of people who believed in us
early on that was part of this organization and
if they would have listened to a lot of voices outside of
this room, it would have been easy to trade us
because we didn't live up to maybe the
hype that we came with so
there's a lot of those people that you want to thank
because without them, we might have been somewhere else.
- [Daniel] If they could say that we always came in
to practice or games in the mornings the same way,
win or loss, if we had two goals or minus four,
we still came in the day after the same way.
I think that's something we really
take a lot of pride in.
(dramatic music)
- [Linden] The real sad part about this is just
the game is losing two incredible ambassadors
that represented the game so great.
- [Announcer] Tonight's second and third star,
selected second and third overall in the 1999 draft,
Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
(crowd enthusiastically cheers)
(team applauds)
