Hockey Hall of Fame selects new names.
Then Henrik and Daniel Sedin are highlighted as two giant favorites.
“If there are two players who are meant to go in together, it is the Sedin brothers,” writes Sportsnet.
Daniel Alfredsson has long had the opportunity to enter the Hockey Hall of Fame, but every year he has been nobbed. This year, several NHL stars have openly gone out and demanded that “Alfie” is finally selected in hockey’s absolute finery, but he is not directly a favorite, considering what it looked like in previous years.
Highlighted as favorites
No, the board for the appointment does not seem to have much for Alfredsson, but when four former hockey masters are to be elected tonight, there are still some who say that it will be Swedish joy anyway. This year is the first time that the Sedin brothers can be elected, after it has now been three years since they ended their careers, and there is certainly much to suggest that they are both elected.
On reputable Sportsnet, you now go through all the possible candidates that can be selected – and the tributes just hail in to the twins, who spent their entire NHL career in Vancouver.
“If there are two players who are meant to enter HHOF side by side, it is Henrik and Daniel Sedin,” the site writes.
Incredible statistics
Among other things, the magazine highlights the fact that Henrik Sedin was team captain, and during his career won both the Hart Trophy and the Art Ross Trophy, two of the most prestigious awards in the NHL. Daniel Sedin also won the Art Ross Trophy, and a Ted Lindsay Award during his career. In addition, the brothers are the duo that has been behind goals in the NHL the second most times, only beaten by Wayne Gretzky and Jari Kurri.
In addition, only one duo (Gordie Howe and Alex Delvecchio) in NHL history played more games together than the brothers. The site also highlights the fact that the brothers reaped success with Tre Kronor – but also that they never won the Stanley Cup after all. But there seems, after all, to be good opportunities for the best the NHL brothers have ever seen.
