Pretty special players.

Certainly a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the magic created by the innate ability of twins to find each other regardless of circumstance, time and time again over 17 seasons.

Maybe it wasn't as incredible as watching Gretzky re-define the game or witnessing Mario's incredible skill on a nightly basis, but in some ways watching the Sedins mesmerize the fans and opponents alike on a nightly basis when they were on top of their game was just as magical.

Some nights they wouldn't even score but would completely control the play for an entire minute or so while they were on the ice.

It sure was a nice way to see them send off the fans one last time.

I really got caught up in the emotion of that game even though there is still one more game to see some Sedinery.

Watched the entire game. First and only time I’ll ever cheer for the Canucks. What a storybook ending for two of the classiest players to ever lace em up. I know some of you are probably glad they’re moving on but I hope you all appreciate what they gave you. Cheers

(frank) off sportsnet.

I recorded the game Tuesday and it recorded all the way past the S/O vs Vegas on NHL center ice.

Recorded the game last night. Went to bed after the 2nd. It recorded till 2 seconds left in the game.

It is going to take a while and their will be lots of mistakes but it is time.

The young guys now have to do , instead of watching. A lot rides on Bo Brock Jake and Troy but they still have Edler Sutter Gagner and MDZ for support.

It’s been a tough year but I still enjoyed most games. I only missed a handful of games due to work. I saw a lot of good things. I flew in for the Boston game and it was pretty special. Bittersweet feeling right now.

I am enjoying their exit party like everyone else , but have been looking forward to this day for a while now. They are classy talented players but I am looking forward to seeing four and a half hockey minds (Jake) instead of two playing as a unit.

What a sendout! I haven’t heard the crowd that into a game in a long time. Nice to see, well deserved. Could definitely see them tearing up a few times. What a game.

but in looking at the remaining schedule for Montreal, Detroit, Arizona the Canucks stand a decent chance to slip IMO. Ottawa will likely lose the last 2, so best we can hope for is 29th, cant finish higher than 26th

Coyotes I am pretty sure claim last in the West. Ottawa and Buffalo I am almost positive are garunteed to be below us in the standings. I think we are now tied with MTL and DET? Either way, whatever the draft will be, will be.

I am almost positive that is a PVR issue, and not a sportsnet issue

When ever you tape a hockey game on sportsnet you have to remember to tape sports center immediately after it to catch the end of the game

I have never recorded any live event without adding an extra 1.5-2 hours on to the original recording. Have never had an issue with it

True. Even my GF was watching it and shedding a few tears and she hates Hockey lol.

What and end. Fitting. Hopefully Edm has a small homage to them on Sat night...would be classy to see.

It felt very 2011-like. The atmosphere, the filled seats, the actual give-a-(frank) meter of the canuck players lol. A very amazing ending for sure. If any "fan" was rooting against the team, in terms of a tank last night, they can GTFO

and I imagine EDM will do something nice, and at the very least, do a handshake line at the end.

after we finish the season as the hottest team we'll be in a good position to start the season as the hottest team in the NHL. Playoff baby, playoffs!

Yup, the tiebreaker has VAN ahead of them in the standings. Range now sits at 4th to 6th best odds

Detroit has a good chance against NYI to pick up a point and pass VAN and cant ever count Montreal out against the Leafs

We'll have a good idea before puck drop vs Edmonton whether it matters VAN's last game will have any outcome on the standings
