Playtawk 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Henrik Sedin is a Hero for the Month of January! http://apps.facebook.com/nhlpool/?ref=ts He had 25 points in the month and this not only gave him a league-high 78, but moved him within 4 points of his best-ever season. NHL named him 2nd star for the month... http://ow.ly/12GdI He and his brother Daniel toyed with the Maple Leafs this weekend in a 3-0 come from behind victory in the third period. They have come a long way over their 9 seasons in the NHL and owe a lot of their recent success to their swedish friend Mats Sundin... http://ow.ly/12GtO With the Canucks win streak at 7 and having a few other players flourishing, do you think they are Stanley Cup worthy this year?

titanium2 867 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah really what has gotten into Henrik Sedin? Makes me hope that Zetterberg hasn't peaked yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ComradeWasabi 109 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 I couldn't believe the way that the Sedins and Burrows played with the Leafs. They were simply incredible Saturday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedWings Gone Wild 6 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah really what has gotten into Henrik Sedin? Makes me hope that Zetterberg hasn't peaked yet. The line just has fantastic chemistry right now (reminds me of Naslund, Bert, n Morrison). Daniel is scoring at the same PPG rate, and would be near the league leaders in point too if it wasn't for his injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Huh? They were down 3-0 and came back to win 5-3. Both Sedins have been great players for a number of years, but this year is definately above where they have been in the past. Burrows does help a bit, he's been great, but other than that, not sure why they are so much better this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adubs 8 Report post Posted February 1, 2010 I hope teams figure out how to shut them down. They have yet to prove anything in the playoffs so I'm not going to accept that they're great until they do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I hope teams figure out how to shut them down. They have yet to prove anything in the playoffs so I'm not going to accept that they're great until they do so. They've been around for years, always playing the same way and teams haven't figured out how to shut them down. Only thing that has happened is they've learned to be more effective with every passing season. And they were actually pretty good last playoffs, they both had 10 points in 10 games. They deserve some respect. Daniel would be right up there with Henrik if he hadn't been injured. They were absolutely sick against the Leafs.. and they've been playing pretty amazing against some really good teams too. Ovechkin is going to win the Art Ross but I hope Henrik can stay in the top 3, maybe get him a Hart nomination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) They are a lot stronger on the puck this year, much harder to knock off. Burrows is an excellent fit. The Twins do more give and go than anyone else I've ever seen. Seems they cycle less in the corners this year and more towards the net. The are steaky as in past years, but when they are on, they are Spot On. They could be very dangerous in the playoffs.

Guest zackmorris Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I don't watch them enough to know for sure but it might have alot to do with the complaining I've seen that they don't play adequate defense or backcheck enough. Alot of the higher scoring players in the league have more space and time to go closer to the net and just wait for offensive chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alot of the higher scoring players in the league have more space and time to go closer to the net and just wait for offensive chances. While I don't notice them backchecking like monsters or lifting sticks and stealing pucks from behind like Pavs or anything, they are league leaders in plus/minus this year, and the Vancunucks are 2nd best in goals against in the West.

Yeah but those are just numbers that are easily misleading. From what I've seen, which compared to other teams isn't alot, they've looked a little lazy. Especially for being Swedes. On a totally unrelated topic, these two are going to be monsters in the Olympics even more than before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a totally unrelated topic, these two are going to be monsters in the Olympics even more than before. I don't think they are misleading, though. Their defensive style is simply to get possession of the puck for much of their shft, and not let the other team have it , and they are pretty effective that way. Obviously. (Burrows +30, Sedins +27 and +26) That line is rolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lidstromboli Report post Posted February 2, 2010 thought it was funny when Daniel went down and people thought Henrik would be nothing without him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zackmorris Report post Posted February 2, 2010 I mean plus/minus can be misleading when talking about defensive ability, not offensive. It's like completion percentage in football-it's a helpful guide to determine accuracy but it's in no way totally indicative. I've seen players who are blah defensively go well into the plus because of the team around him, esp forwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
