Hockey fans love their stats, and Rob Pizzo likes to give the people what they want. In this week's "9 in 90", Pizzo looks at some milestones that should be reached in the near future.

Centre Henrik Sedin wore No. 33 for the Canucks. He had 240 goals and 840 assists over 1,070 games and holds the franchise's points record.

Left-winger Daniel Sedin wore No. 22 and is Vancouver's all-time leading goal scorer, with 393 goals and 648 assists in 1,041 games.

The 38-year-old brothers retired at the end of last season after spending their entire 17-year NHL playing careers with the Canucks.

The organization has previously retired four other numbers: right-winger Stan Smyl's No. 12, left winger Markus Naslund's No. 19, right winger Pavel Bure's No. 10, and No. 16, worn by centre and former team president Trevor Linden.
