Defenseman Kevin Bieksa figured out one difference when he lived in the same building as Henrik and often would spot Daniel waiting for his brother in the parking lot.

Despite being the Canucks’ captain, Henrik has a bad habit of running late. 

“Danny’s always on time,” Edler said. “Henrik is always a couple minutes late.”

It drives his punctual younger brother (by minutes) crazy. 

“He hates when people are late,” Henrik said. “I’m usually late.”

Within that dynamic, Bieksa said Daniel emerges as the more “responsible” of these road-trip roommates, dictating their schedule and keeping Henrik “in line.”

“Hank is going to say he’s the one in charge, for sure,” Bieksa has said of the differences. “And Danny might even say nobody is just because he’s a humble kind of guy. But we all know Danny is the one in charge. And Hank still wants to retain that older-brother status, too, so he tries to boss Danny around sometimes and Danny takes it, which is the funny thing. But Danny is usually the one in charge when push comes to shove.”
