DALLAS — If heaven can wait, so can the Sedins’ retirement.

Their Vancouver team may not win much anymore but Henrik and Daniel can still play.

When they completed an 11-pass sequence that led to Friday’s only Canucks’ goal, Daniel Sedin recorded his 50th point of this NHL season.

You know how many forwards he joined with 50 points? There were 82 others. That kind of production gets you on the second line of just about any team in the league, and the first line on many.

That kind of production means you’re still really good at hockey. It was the same number as Matt Duchene, Evander Kane and Mike Hoffman.

Whether these are the final games of the Sedins’ career or not, we promise you this: There is a lot of quality hockey left in those two brothers. It doesn’t always seem that way mostly because they are compared to what they once were.

And what they once were was magnificent.

People would have an entirely different perspective if the Sedins spent their best years averaging 50 points, like, say, Patric Hornqvist.
