For the last time, it's not inferring that women are inferior, therefore it is not sexist. Have you seen two girls ever fight on the ice? I haven't. If it happens, it's extremely rare. "Sedin Sisters" implies that the Sedin's play like girls in that they don't play the tough guy style since girls hockey is typically not known for being tough guy style. Is tough guy style hockey superior? You be the judge. Some would argue free flowing "euro" style is more entertaining.
Additionally, the "Sedins 2 girls, no Cup" gag is a reference to a disgusting internet joke. It doesn't make sense to say "Sedins, 2 brothers no Cup" because the joke doesn't make sense then. Again, nothing to do with sexism.
So I say again, give it a rest. Or don't ever say someone one the ice is manly when you watch the playoffs, because by those same criteria, calling someone manly is sexist. Sedin sisters is a classic joke, so relax.
