3. Soft Twins? Not in Van City

Ever since the Sedins came into the league, people have called them soft. Is it because they are Swedish twins and nobody would have hockey players in mind when talking about Swedish twins? (Let me remind you of a great Sedin NHL commercial from 2007)

Whatever it is, Henrik and Daniel are proving these people wrong more than ever. Just a few games ago, Daniel took a puck to the face, left the game for less than 10 minutes, and returned to score a goal in that same period. This time around, it was a little bit more than that.

The twins kind of started a bench-clearing brawl.

I’ll admit, it doesn’t really look like the Sedins had anything to do with it. Derek Dorsett just went up to the Panthers backup and punched him in the face — a regular thing to do for Dorsett. So where do the Sedins come in?

Well, apparently there was a lot of chirping going on and some of it was stuff that shouldn’t be said in a hockey game — or anywhere for that matter. Apparently one of those things was Thornton calling Henrik a “lowlife”. Which is just pathetic if you ask me. Henrik went over to the Florida bench right after the game-winning goal and hell broke loose from there. It was — obviously — Dorsett who went in to start a fight, but the Sedins appear to have been the primary source of trouble.

Enough “Sedin sisters” talk. Henrik and Daniel are some of the best players in the league and they are just as tough as any other player out there.
