VANCOUVER – It’s the most exclusive club the Vancouver Canucks have and, on Sunday night, it will get just its third member. Darius Leonard Jersey . When Daniel Sedin suits up against the Chicago Blackhawks at Rogers Arena, he will join his brother, Henrik, and Trevor Linden as the only players in the 44-year history of the franchise to wear Canucks colours for 1,000 National Hockey League games. Stan Smyl, Markus Naslund and Pavel Bure have all had their jersey numbers retired by the organization, but none of them reached the thousand-game milestone. Linden leads the way having played 1,140 of his NHL games for the Canucks, while Henrik Sedin (1030) suited up for his 1000th contest on March 12 in Winnipeg. Now it’s Daniel’s turn – a shade over 14 years after his NHL debut in Philadelphia on October 5, 2000. “It was a long time ago,” Sedin says with a laugh. “I remember being nervous, for sure. There were a lot of expectations on us - from ourselves and from the outside, too. And playing in Philly with their big guys, it was nerve-wracking.” Some of those nerves were soothed two games later when Daniel found his goal-scoring touch for the first time in the NHL beating then Tampa netminder – and future teammate -- Dan Cloutier. And yes, that first goal was set up by Henrik. Fast forward to the present day and Daniel needed a moment or two to reflect on how he’s gone from fresh-faced 20-year-old rookie finding his way in the NHL to a 34-year-old veteran of so many battles. He’s quick to point out that it wasn’t always easy, but the low points have helped him appreciate all of the success he has experienced through the seasons. “You can kind of separate them,” he says when asked if it’s all gone by quickly. “The first 300 games were pretty tough. It wasn’t very fun. We liked playing hockey, but it was tough with all the media attention and we didn’t play well, either. Those games were certainly tough. And then things started to get better and better. It got easier playing games and coming to practice because things were going well. Time flies when you win games and you’re having fun, but it certainly goes slower when you’re losing games and not having as much fun.” After an off-season last year, Daniel Sedin seems to have recaptured the fun of the game in the early going this season with 20 points in his first 20 games. He enters Sunday’s spectacle game with 311 goals and 825 points to his name. It’s a body of work that includes an Art Ross Trophy, a Ted Lindsay Award, two All-Star Game appearances, as well as an Olympic gold medal (2006) and a World Championship (2013). For all of the accomplishments accrued over a decade and a half in the NHL, however, Daniel Sedin is well aware of the one glaring omission on his hockey resume. “We’re missing the big one,” he says. “Hopefully, that’s something we can get back to playing for. That would be unbelievable. As a player, everyone looks at whether you’ve won the Stanley Cup. That’s the one thing we’re still looking for.” That pursuit will continue for both Daniel and Henrik Sedin. They can’t win the Cup on Sunday night, but the game with Chicago is bound to conjure up memories of many of the fiercest battles the twins have been involved in during their years in the NHL and this time, they get to mark the thousand-game milestone together, something that didn’t happen when Henrik crossed that threshold. Daniel was out of the line-up with a leg injury and unable to take part in his brother’s big night, but this time, they’ll both be in uniform allowing Henrik to share in his brother’s accomplishment. “I think it’s special to play all 1000 for one team,” Henrik says. “For us, that means a lot. Both Daniel and I think about it the same way - it means you’ve played a lot of hockey. It’s very special to play all of those games for one team. It’s going to be a special night for him. I know it was for me. It’s going to be a good night for him. And really, Sunday should be a terrific night for everyone in attendance at Rogers Arena. Fans here on the West Coast have witnessed the Sedins do so many good things over their years in Canucks uniforms. Seeing Daniel stand alongside Henrik to make up two-thirds of the most exclusive club the franchise has simply cements the Sedins iconic status in the organization and adds to their very special place in Vancouver Canucks history. Marvin Harrison Jersey . Webb birdied the 18th hole to take the outright lead, then watched as Choi, who shot a course-record 62 on Saturday to take a share of the third-round lead, pushed a 10-foot putt wide of the hole at 18 to miss the chance for a playoff. Nate Hairston Jersey . Pearce had a career-high four hits and drove in two runs, and Wei-Yin Chen shut down Texas again as the Orioles completed a four-game sweep of the Rangers with a 5-2 victory on Thursday night. http://www.coltsfansshop.com/Colts-Quincy-Wilson-Draft-Jersey/ . Left back Layvin Kurzawa put Monaco ahead in the 36th minute with a low shot after being set up by midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, sweeping the ball in after running onto Kondogbias cross from the left.A potent offence is one reason why the Toronto Raptors own the best record in the Eastern Conference. With a second straight meeting against a fellow division leader looming, the Raptors will try to bounce back from their worst offensive showing of the season Monday night against the Denver Nuggets.Their last game, though, didnt do anything to reinforce that belief. Toronto (15-5) has only averaged 100 points or more in four of its first 19 seasons, but its in very good shape to push that number to five. The Raptors rank second in the NBA, averaging 108.8 points per game, 4.7 higher than the franchise record set in 2009-10. You can catch all the action live on TSN2 at 7PM et / 4PM pt. They werent anywhere near that impressive Friday, shooting 40.7 percent from the field in a 105-91 loss to Central Division-leading Cleveland in their lowest scoring effort of the season. We were just missing shots, guard Kyle Lowry told the teams official website after scoring 22 points while making 7 of 18 from the field. I dont think theres anything we couldve done differently. (Greivis Vasquez) had a rough night, I had a rough night. The only ones who shot over 50 per cent I think were (James Johnson) and Amir (Johnson). Facing the Nuggets could help the Raptors get their offense back on track since Denver is one of the leagues worst defensive teams, allowing an average of 105.5 points.Toronto will get a chance to avenge that defeat to the Cavaliers on Tuesday, but will first try to avoid overlooking Denver (9-11). Toronto, thouggh, has dropped three of five games, splitting four without DeMar DeRozan, who is out with a torn left abductor. Al Woods Jersey. The guard is second on the team with 19.4 points per game, trailing only Lowry (20.7). Lowry is scoring 28.4 over the past five games, but hes been held to 16.3 while making 35.7 percent from the field in the last four meetings with Denver. The Raptors split last seasons two meetings with the Nuggets, with the road team winning both. Denver has won seven of 10 at Toronto, but enters this one on a three-game slide following a 7-1 stretch. The Nuggets opened this three-game trip with a 119-89 defeat at Washington on Friday, and followed it up by falling 96-84 at Atlanta two days later. Theyre shooting a woeful 37.1 percent from the floor, including 11 for 57 from 3-point range over the past two games. However, a slew of injuries arent helping. Denver was without Kenneth Faried (back), Nate Robinson (back) and JaVale McGee (leg) on Sunday, leading to a season low point total. Were down 10 guys, coach Brian Shaw said. Guys have an opportunity to play, so they have to take advantage of those minutes. Guys have to step up. The most likely to return is Faried, who is averaging 13.4 points and 9.2 rebounds in five career meetings with Toronto. Ty Lawson has 22.0 points per game over his last five matchups with the Raptors, but Denver only needed 16 from him in a 112-98 road win Dec. 1, 2013. Robinson chipped in 23 in that visit, but its unclear if hell be available this time.
