Mad Cow Disease Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 http://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1040-i-1410/henrik-sedin-kassian-makes-twins-better-1.228129 Points: Lacked jump against Arizona, had more "jump" against Anaheim and San Jose Kassian complements the twins, opens up a lot of space for them, becomes a focal point for opposition defence, needs to maintain focus to continue succeeding Twins change up their game depending on who is the 3rd forward (especially Vrbata) Vrbata on 2nd line and Burr on 3rd provides something on every line Lack always happy, Henrik believes Lack doesn't quite understand how important these late reg. season games are but he's always in good spirits and playing well Markstrom needs to focus on the season he's had so far [in AHL], shown he's a top goalie in AHL and will get another chance 3 games remaining vs. Kings in season, team looks at all 5 games against as must wins Approach vs. LA similar to Anaheim, both teams strong and difficult to gain momentum against Seguin and Benn comments didn't sway twins either way, reason for stepping up game is more likely due to injuries and just finding stride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Shouldn't have asked him about the Seguin/Benn interview. It doesn't merit a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I really like how candid Hank is these days. I feel like we get the real Hank, specifically on his comments on Lack and Kassian. Weaker leaders might be afraid to tell it like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The part where he is talking about the differences between Kassian, Burrows and Vrbata as linemates was really something. He's basically saying that they adapt their game to their linemates game, and how Vrbata is really good if you find him in those soft spots and how burrows is more of a fore-checker and can get them the puck and kassian is better off the rush and getting to the slot. I think this can really turn into something special. I mean we can use different linemates on their line depending on the team. We can use Kassian for the bigger teams, Vrbata for the smaller teams and Burrows for teams that protect the puck really well like Detriot. Nice to have this luxury that if one of the linemates for the sedins goes down we have two other great options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Interesting distinction he makes between Kassian/Burrows and Vrbata. It sounds like Vrbata on the second line could remain the case and that it's between Burr and Kassian at even strength in the future, given the fact that those two get in on the forecheck and create space for the twins whereas with Vrbata the opposite is the case. WD's decision to use Dorsett on the wing with Bonino and Vrbata also makes more sense in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Lack always happy, Henrik believes Lack doesn't quite understand how important these late reg. season games are but he's always in good spirits and playing well now, i haven't listened to the interview but i have to assume that this comment was meant in the sense that it seems like lack must be oblivious to what's at stake because he doesn't let the pressure get to him, and not in the sense that he doesn't take it seriously or isn't prepared or whatever. i feel like it's a comment that many here would misconstrue.

smithers joe Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 both burrows and vrbata lend their strong points to the twins on the power play..bur with hist net front presents and vrbata finding passing lanes..kassian provides them with room and a protector...

EdgarM Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Did he mention anything about why they cannot get up for games against teams like Arizona or Buffalo? or did he mention anything about why the PP is not doing so well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC20.0 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This is a very different Captain Sedin from the one in 2011. A lot more serious. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 This is a very different Captain Sedin from the one in 2011. A lot more serious. I like it. I agree. I see the change in him as well. I am sure he has learned a thing or two over the years and has had a few conversations with Linden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
