BI3KSA- Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Amazing stuff. Truly has been a treat watching them play. Too bad they had to peak right after the Hawks grew wings. We were good enough to have at least 2 cups. The one year we make it to the finals we have to play the dirtiest/biggest team in the league. Hawks got flyers before us and Kings got New Jersey after us, much better match-ups for our team. Tampa would have been far easier. Bruins wouldnt have been so bad if we were actually healthy too imo I agree! Get the PP going again, and I bet we see 90-100 points out of them. They just need the help that they used to have (Ehrhoff on the back end, Kesler in front of the net). Exactly, I mean even on 5 on 5 play not having a PMD is huge. Ehrhoff could make brilliant plays from the backend and we just dont have anything even remotely close to that now. The point is barely even an option anymore. Both from a playmaking perspective and a goal scoring perspective, our defense cant be relied upon to score goals or make solid passing plays. Our breakout passes arent great anymore either. If we still had that D core the Sedins would still be scoring 100 points imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Good times. While it is unlikely the Sedins will ever repeat those feats, there is no doubt that they will remain some of the greatest who ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said they aren't aging or declining. They're a ways away from not being 1st line players though. They could quite conceivably play another 5 years as "1st line players" if they wanted to. They wouldn't likely be as dominant but it's far from impossible that they're still top 90 players in ~5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I didn't watch the entire video but looking back, it was very clear that both the Sedins were not afraid to shoot. Especially Daniel. Now, both Sedins prefer to pass than shoot, more notably Daniel. They're still great players but what made them work together as a pair was that Henrik was always the passer and Daniel was the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. 5 years might be tough to pull off depending on who else comes along but that would just make them a good second line. Which is a good thing.
