Bite me Burr Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The Sedins are elite skill players and will never be grit players, although Hank has made an effort to improve that part of his game. They are the most abused players on this team; constantly getting pounded into the boards, tripped, clutched, grabbed, you name it. I'd love to see one of the internet warriors around here take a single shift along the oppositions boards that the Sedins endure every game.

Bite me Burr Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If however they decide to stay as they've said they would like to do I think that shows a desire to win in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Sedins refused to go through Chara to score as we were run out of the building by Boston in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Not sure why people think they'll sign for less than what they make now. First off, the PA won't have it. Second, they'd likely rather retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c00kies Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just curious here: who goes through Chara to score? On a regular basis? regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 cover your fan boi face up all you want, these guys have been ghosts. just look at the first 3 games.... the effort and lack of compete SO WEAK they were being called out by just about every analyst in the NHL. the Sedins wil never be the first line that wins a Cup. Take off your rosey glasses, we need warriors, not IKEA clerks. They decided to show up in Game 4...too little too late. First thing i would do is take the C off Henrik and give it to Kesler. Sedins too mellow, zero leadership qualities in the room not one player on our team will even fight for them or try to protect them. time to go away, the Euro softee experiment does not work in playoff hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I can't really wrap my head around how we doubt the players on our team for "not wanting a cup badly enough" or lacking heart. I feel a lot of times, players do pour their heart and souls into the game -- it takes tremendous dedication to even be playing in the NHL -- but they just get shut down due to less-than-par coaching, lack of momentum (maybe, as some have mentioned, playing with others who aren't as skilled or complementary to them), and etc. etc. The Sedins have proven to us that they do want a cup. They want one more than any peanut-crunching fan watching TV, and the Sedins know they're good enough to be champions. One can argue that they've gotten stale and teams have figured them out -- sure, but they're still the face of our team -- more so than Luongo or Schneider, or anybody. And if they do re-sign here, it means that they haven't given up on us yet. It means they still think Vancouver can be home to Stanley Cup Champions. So I don't think we should throw them under the bus. I expect them to retire here. I feel privileged to be able to witness a pair of twins play excellent hockey, and even luckier that they're on this team. Even if they never bring a cup to Vancouver, falling one game short in the finals is still better than never making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedBeats™2.0 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The answer is simply no, theyve been no shows for years in the playoffs unwilling to pay the price. nice guys but time to go, if they want to come back maybe 2more years at 3.5 mill but def not first line money. if the Sedins are 2or3rd line we could win a Cup but not as our first.

Edlerberry Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just ignore it... Lidstrom won a cup... Sedins back to back scoring champs and MVPs... he has no idea what he's talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I disagree with this. Sedins refused to go through Chara to score as we were run out of the building by Boston in the playoffs. Their "desire" leaves something to be desired. Then, now and later, the Sedin boys will be the same type of players that Chara scared away from a cup!

nuck nit Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 True, but why in the puck would you stick the C on the dweeby Sedin kid who, like you say, is bullied and bitche slapped each shift. That is NOT captain material. Why give them your flag in battle? Naslund/Sedin, why wont this team learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
