When the Sedin twins announced they'd be retiring from hockey after the season, players from across the league that had the opportunity to be teammates with them took to social media to share a special message with them.

One of those players was Roberto Luongo and he had this to say on Twitter after he heard the news that the two would be retiring once the season was over.

Luongo was teammates with Daniel and Henrik for eight seasons in Vancouver and his emotional tweet highlights what everyone who knows the twins loves about them.

Yes, they're great hockey players, but more importantly they're incredible people and that fact was echoed by Luongo and many others Monday and over the course of their careers.
