Ronan Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Willie Desjardins switching up the line ups is good for chemistry. Even defense pairs are constantly changing. I also feel like Daniel and Hank aren't playing 100%, maybe putting them on separate lines FROM TIME TO TIME could spark some new energy. It's like they get special treatment, not getting switched around like everyone else. Yeah they're veterans, but I know there's more in them. Just an idea, NOT TO BE DONE PERMANENTLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 It's been done when one was injured, this would be deliberate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRAY Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I wouldnt do that right now because we are winning and they have had a nice bounceback season for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I agree that putting them on two lines for an entire games is a big risk. Maybe in a progressive manner. They can't be dependent on each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 IMO, the thing with the Sedins is that they can be doing nothing of any real consequence for long stretches of time, and then all of sudden, they work their magic together and boom, the puck is in the opposing team's net. Even when they aren't producing, they own the puck and in doing so, are preventing the other team from scoring. I'll be the first to say that the Sedins are weak in the d-zone, but without looking at advanced stats, the eye test shows me that they spend more time north of the red line than south, so they aren't a big defensive liability together. I bashed the Sedins for being ineffective for the first two periods in the Philly GDT last night and they made look and act the fool with what they produced with Burrows in the third...so IMO, splitting them up to shake them up or spread out the offence is probably not a good idea. I say keep them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Why? Vrbata Henrik Burrows will be better? Or Daniel Horvat Kassian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 It has happened while both were healthy many of times. My bad. Did they play separated for the entire game though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say keep them together. Fair enough. Though both Burrows goals came with help from Daniel. I thought maybe Dan and Alex could be paired up with Hank on another line.

BanTSN Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 As they are both playmakers now, it would only make sense to split them up, yet I don't think they ever will be. At least not consistently. Here's something to consider: You know how Vey can't win a draw to save his life, right? Then why not put Daniel in that spot instead? What's the difference? Oh right, Daniel is a former art ross winner and Vey is a scrub. lul.

Outsiders Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 D.Sedin doesn't play well without Henrik. He looks lost. Where as Henrik can play without Daniel and be fine. You want the most out of them? Play them together If i were to spilt them up tho, the lines would be Kenins-H.Sedin-Vrbata D.Sedin-Horvat-Burrows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronan Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 The way I see it it's not just about getting the most out of the Sedins. I think it puts pressure on everyone else the fact that the twins get special treatment. It's also pressure to play with two brothers who know each other so well they don't need to look when they pass to each other. There's a point where you kind of feel left out... lol I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
