Much like father and son duos (see Bobby and Brett Hull), there have been many great sibling combos in sports history, from Peyton and Eli Manning in football to Pau and Marc Gasol in basketball to the Alou and DiMaggio brothers in baseball to Phil and Tony Esposito in hockey, etc. Go a step further and there have even been numerous accomplished sets of identical twins (Ronde and Tiki Barber, Brook and Robin Lopez, etc.) – however with the exception of doubles partners Bob and Mike Bryan in tennis, perhaps no brothers/identical twins have had their careers quite as intertwined as Daniel and Henrik Sedin. As long-time stalwarts for the Vancouver Canucks, the brothers were drafted together, played their entire careers with the Canucks together, and retired together. Given how closely their careers were linked (you could almost say they were identical…), naturally one might ask:
Who was better – Daniel Sedin or Henrik Sedin?
