Just another Vancouver Canucks appreciating blog. I love the Swedish trio consisting of Henrik and Daniel Sedin, and Alexander Edler (though particularly fond of Henke), Roberto Luongo, Alexandre Burrows, and Jannik Hansen. My boys are flawless and precious, and I refuse to hear otherwise. (x)
Title: Henrik Sedin on Benn/Seguin Comments
0 plays
“Its not something I really like to comment on. I think it shows more more about them then it does about us so that’s all I have to say”
Hank says it doesn’t bother them but also goes on to make a comment that:
“I don’t know… we’re brothers, we’re Swedes, we’ve always played together…”
And to me I just find it heartbreaking that he has to defend himself or even fucking have this conversation in the year 2015.
(And because the last audio was taken down, I’m transcribing this just in case… There are two areas at the end that I can’t make out)
Question: I’m sure you didn’t hear the comments yesterday, but have people told you about the comments from Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn that were disparaging to you and your brother?
Sedin: I haven’t heard more than guys were talking about it today but I don’t know what they said or where they said it or what happened. Its not something I really like to comment on. I think it shows more more about them then it does about us so that’s pretty much all I have to say.
Question: Does it bother you at all that your peers would talk about you that way given all you and your brother have done in the National Hockey League?
Sedin: Yeah, well, for me, it’s about our team and our teammates. If they come out and they say something bad about us, then I would be bothered and a little bit hurt. But as long as they’re happy, then that’s all we think about. It’s- I don’t- we’re brothers, we’re Swedes, we’ve always played together. I’m sure there can be comments from a lot of different things. It’s been like this from people on TV and older people and also from players. There’s nothing we can do other than go out there and play our best and try to be the kind of people we want to be.
Question: And you know what? People in this community certainly appreciate they way you have been and I think people in the NHL community appreciate it as well. You have always handled these situations in such a commendable fashion. Why has it not bothered you? Why have you let it just roll off you back?
Sedin: Because things have been said by people that we don’t really care what they say. Like I say, if it would have been someone close to us or someone that we play with or that we’re around for a lot of the time, then it would have hurt us for sure because we try to be as good people as we can be and if there’s people around us that think otherwise, then it bothers us. But coming from guys like that who are [???] the same type of player, that’s- you can- it’s a [????]

I think it says more about them than it does about us.

If the Sedins haven’t earned your respect by now, it’s on you, not them. They have not had great years. They have had great careers.
They have endured physical pain, massively disappointing losses, and, of course, a shocking amount of ridicule generated by fans, media and, yes, their peers.
The oldest, lamest, most worn-out dig on them is the “sisters” slur. It’s a little heartbreaking I still have to write about this in 2015. If the Sedins still get it, what about the kids in minor hockey? Peewee soccer? High school band?
Obviously, when it comes to the Sedins, it continues to follow them.
They are not the only stars who have this type of attack directed at them. Crosby has been called Cindy. Even Pronger got it, called Chrissy. As though being female is inherently wrong or inferior.
Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, of the Dallas Stars, tapped into what comes off as a similar form of bullying at the end of a long interview on something called the Bob and Dan show.
From what I can tell, the interview was taken off the web site after some of Canuck twitter heard it and demanded apologies from Benn and Seguin. Not sure on that. But it was here.
In the late stages of the interview, the topic turned to rooming on the road. Benn and his brother play on the same team but he explains they get separate rooms.
A host says he thinks the Sedins stay together still, and Benn follows that line up stating:
“Who knows what else they do together?”
Not a great moment. Jokes follow, as the hosts claim the way the Sedins cut their hair and present themselves are examples of what brothers should never do.
And Seguin, in loose Seguin fashion, concludes it with this:
“They’re odd as shit.”
Sure if odd is mature, responsible, accountable, upstanding community members who love their team and city equally, while going through life respecting every person they encounter.
Yes, if that’s your definition odd, then they are as odd as shit.
