vcrguy Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 There was someone on here months ago who said the Sedins would have a big fall off from their prior year point totals as they were getting up there in age. They were flamed and ridiculed but at this point, I'd have to say he/she is correct. I love the Sedins and would take them on my team any day of the week, but it does look like they are on pace for a sub par season (points wise). It's not to say next year won't be different, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon4401 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 More defensive play then ever before in their careers also...Don't be one of those bline people that only see points and not the whole game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckBoss Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 goof hank is hurt, they been playing with plugs majority of the season finally burrows back and there 2 3 shifts they had against calgary looked pretty dynamite to me plus burrows not even 100 percent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Stevie Y's points went way down after he decided it was more important to win Stanley Cups than it was to score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I agree, they haven't even dominated a shift in who knows how long. They should have only been signed for 1 or 2 years at that much money. Every team can shut down their cycle game now. They can't even get it done on the powerplay anymore. Their defensive game has improved but we have more then enough defensive players on this team. I just hope when Hank is healthy and Burrows starts scoring they return to form, but I see them as 60-70 point scorers now, unless they get a legit sniper.

vcrguy Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Stevie Y's points went way down after he decided it was more important to win Stanley Cups than it was to score goals. Nobody argued this at the beginning of the season. They just all mocked him for being an idiot and pointed out the Sedins were good for 1+ points per game. Someone find the thread or at least admit that guy was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say he predicted that their points would drop off because off age. Maybe it's really because they are playing under a different system.

CanucksSayEh Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Their offense isn't struggling because they are focusing on D or any other aspects. They just aren't playing good. Poor passing, poor shooting, weak on the puck. Most of all, they are slowwwwwww, slow to loose pucks, slow on the rush, slow to make decisions. Slow slow slow. They don't look at all like they used too. Even Hank earlier in the season was a completely different player. There's no creativity, no real scoring threat in their cycle. Just overall bland.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Stevie Y's points went way down after he decided it was more important to win Stanley Cups than it was to score goals. The sedins are my favorite players so whenever they hit the ice I pay special attention to them. You know what I see... they aren't playing any different defensively but other teams are. They can't stay in the slot anymore which was the bread and butter for burrows and the sedins. I am sorry but you seem to be assuming when star players point totals go down they must be playing defense which isn't the case for the sedins. When Daniel misses that empty net I doubt it's cause he wants to win a cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Even though you're getting flamed by everyone right now, there's no denying they just can't get their setups and cycle going as well as they used to. I do miss seeing them make insane passes and making fools of the other team's defence every game. I'm just hoping they get back to that when everyone is 100% and they're reunited with Burrows.

That wasn't my point. My point was that just because their point totals are down doesn't necessarily mean it's due to their age. Age may be a factor. The system might be a factor. The tougher division might be a factor. So many things might be a factor. The OP made a blanket statement. I just used Stevie Y as one example to poke a hole in that statement.

Baggins Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Let's see.... Their regular winger for several years has missed most of the season. + Henrik has been playing hurt for some time now. + A revolving door on Burrows replacement = ? I don't think they've significantly declined. They're just having a tough year. It happens to the best. Ask Ovechkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what games you have been watching but I distinctly remember a few shifts this year similar to that epic one against edmonton a few years ago. Henrik has been playing hurt for a while, Burrows has been out for a while. Of course they arent going to be as productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
