Henrik and Daniel Sedin were born on Sept. 26, 1980, in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden. About a year and a half later and 350 kilometers to the west, Henrik and Joel Lundqvist were born on March 2, 1982, in Are, Sweden.
On Monday, having caught the news the Sedins had announced their retirement effective with the end of the Canucks’ season, Henrik Lundqvist expressed his appreciation for the twins.
“I remember watching them for the first time in Sweden. They were dominating the Swedish League,” the King told The Post.
