For Everything.
Some spoke animatedly about their favourite goals, while others talked about meeting the brothers through their tireless work in the community.
Martin Ogley, 61, has been a Canucks fan since the team entered the league in 1970.
The team has a number of bright young stars coming up, but watching the Sedins play in Vancouver for the last time will be emotional, Ogley said before the game.
ThereB次元官网网址檚 something special about the Swedish brothers, he added.
B次元官网网址淓verybody says they have an aura about them, theyB次元官网网址檙e just down to earth,B次元官网网址� said Ogley, who met Henrik Sedin at an amusement park last September. B次元官网网址淗eB次元官网网址檚 quite a bit taller than he looks on TV.B次元官网网址�
Vincent Kwong, 21, bought tickets last December to the game, just in case it turned out to be the twinsB次元官网网址� last appearance.
The Sedins have been huge role models in the community, he said, and theyB次元官网网址檝e taken fans on an emotional roller-coaster over the years.
B次元官网网址淭here are so many memories in the 2011 (Stanley Cup) run,B次元官网网址� Kwong said. B次元官网网址滻t was just so close. I know they were probably so devastated, so hopefully we can show them some love today.B次元官网网址�
Ameena Althullah has been watching the Sedins play since she was little and the 23-year-old still remembers watching Daniel Sedin score an unbelievable goal against the Calgary Flames in 2010, a point that earned him a hat trick.

Althullah said the game would be emotional for her.
