While surfing the Internet, I obviously come across hockey blogs by non-Canucks fans. That's to be expected. But why do they say things like, "They're gay", "They're creepy", and other (inappropriate) nasty comments. Why do people say that? They're brothers for goodness sakes! How could they be gay?
And what's creepy about twins? If you see a couple of adorable twin girls toddling about at the beach, you would be all over them! Henrik and Daniel are two brothers who look exactly the same and share all their DNA. There's nothing creepy about that. Twins are all over the world.
And so, they do everything together. How does that make them gay? They've known each other all their lives, and are not only twin brothers, but best friends. I don't think it's right to call the Sedin twins gay.
And how about this sisters thing? Sure, when they first came into the NHL they were a little weaker, needed to put on some muscle still. Even now, they're not real big hitters, they don't agitate or frustrate. But you know what, haters? You have to be tough to play hockey. And you have to be tough to fight through numerous crosschecks to the back, punches, hits, high-sticks, and all other sorts of should-be-penalties that the refs don't notice, because the twins are such good sports.
Plus, the twins are genuinely nice guys. They lead the team really well, the do a lot of charity work and have even donated over a million dollars to the BC Children's hospital. They're not cocky or proud, in fact they're unbelievably humble.
And finally, to all you haters out there, last year Henrik Sedin beat out Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, and all the other elite players in the league to win not only the Art Ross, but also the Hart as the league's MVP. This year, Daniel's leading the scoring race with 18 games left to play, beating Ovechkin, Stamkos, and an injured Crosby. So don't be hatin' on the Sedins.
