EIGHT reasons why I love them:
1. They were both drafted to the same team and play on the same line (Henrik is the playmaker and Daniel is the goal-scorer)
2. Their accents are so cuteeeeee
3. They are THE most adorable hockey brothers I've seen (and yes, their "adorable-ness" beats that of the Staal brothers (and we all thought that wasn't possible!))
4. They're one of the few gingers in the NHL (and one of four pairs of twins who have played in the NHL)
5. They're hilarious: have you seen them in their NHL promo? Check that out (let's just say I would have given them more than just a toonie ;))
6. They grow pretty manly beards (sure beats Crosby's 13-year-old dirty sanchez) 
7. They have amazing chemistry on ice!
8. They're Swedish twins. 'nuff said
