VANCOUVER — Maybe next time, Hank.

Too bad, because it would have been the perfect night for Henrik Sedin to set the Canucks’ all-time points record.

Not so much for what he did, but for what was done to him.

He was shoved. He was face-washed. And he got stiff-armed after the whistle. On Tuesday, you got a taste for what he’s endured for more than 11 seasons.

"It’s a sign [the Sedins] are frustrating the other team," Kevin Bieksa said of the abuse.

"There has to be respect in this game. Playing guys hard five-on-five is one thing but punching guys after the whistle, and pushing the Sedins, who aren’t even in the scrums? It works both ways. We could have easily done it to their skilled guys.

"We had a talk, and there was no more of it after that."

Henrik was not in on those talks. Instead, he responded by doing what he’s always done. He just kept going.

Among all of Henrik’s accomplishments, many of which have been detailed during an onslaught of media this week, his greatest achievement is the games played. It’s his durability. And it’s those 593 straight times he’s laced up his skates and played for the Canucks.

"It’s amazing," Daniel said. "It’s impressive to everyone. He’s been playing so many games in a row, you are bound to have off nights. But he doesn’t have many of them."

Against the Wild in a 2-1 Canucks win, Henrik was pointless. But he was not heartless.

Maybe, coming from the captain, it bleeds into the rest of the team. Maybe it plays into Mason Raymond and Jordan Schroeder somehow out-muscling Cal Clutterbuck and Tom Gilbert. Like Henrik has done thousands of times in his career, they went into a corner overmatched in weight class, but came out with the puck. The sequence, which featured some dogged Raymond work, led directly to an electric Jannik Hansen goal. It proved to be the game winner, putting the Canucks up 2-0 9:03 into the second period.

Picking up where Cory Schneider left off, Roberto Luongo got the start in net and was endlessly solid, yet again. Ho-hum.

It didn’t take long for him to get re-acquainted with Zach Parise, who famously beat him in the gold medal game at the Olympics with the final seconds ticking down.

Just 1:04 into the first, Parise got his first opportunity, banging away at a puck while he leaned into Luongo’s crease, virtually sitting on his lap. He would get three more chances squatting in the same spot over the course of the game, like he had bought real estate. Hey, if anyone can afford downtown Vancouver prices, it’s Parise with his $98 million contract.

But as he swatted at pucks freely, Luongo held his ground.

"The one save in the third kind of reminded me of the Olympics," Luongo said. "It was that spin move, on my blocker side."

Luongo’s biggest save was in the final minute on Devin Setoguchi. His most athletic was his pad stop on Charlie Coyle from point-blank range in the first. But his most important work was stoning Parise.

The Canucks scored first, rewarded for one of their best starts of the season. Mikko Koivu took an interference penalty and the Canucks second power play unit came through. Zack Kassian somehow found Kevin Bieksa gliding into the slot and set him up with the prettiest pass of the night. Call it a tribute to Henrik.

The Canucks were in total control of the game. They dominated puck possession. Even Andrew Ebbett was skating circles around the Wild. But after Chris Higgins was called for tripping midway through the second, the Wild made it a one-goal contest.

On the power play, rookie Mikael Granlund pinned Jason Garrison, who had a rough night, along the boards, stripping him of the puck. Garrison had a chance to clear the puck before Granlund knocked him off of it but was way too soft on his backhand.

Matt Cullen took advantage, setting up Setoguchi in front of Luongo.

The Canucks looked like they had pulled ahead after a bad-angle Hansen shot sat on the goal line. Raymond charged into the crease — yes, charged — and Setoguchi followed him, kicking the puck in. But it was ruled no-goal, because of a quick whistle when the ref lost sight of the puck.
