Mcfly Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I'm reminded of a legend I once heard about him having the tip of his broken pinky finger aputated to continue a season, earlier in his career. Don't know the details exactly... ...but everyone wonders why he got the nicname "pinky" tho. Seriously, these bro's are dedicated more than most people will ever give them credit for.

CaptKirk888 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I don't buy into the "Canucks/NHL" conspiracy theory either, but you have to admit that the refs in the 2011 S/C final had the "just let them play" attitude that definitely favoured the Bruins. I too remember cringing watching Marchant goad Daniel, I'm thinking, Danny do something! Anything, a push back of any sort might have changed the momentum the Bruins gained at that point. In fairness though, they have both been great players for van, can't imagine how our team would have looked without them. As for being soft? I don't think being "soft" produces Hank's ironman streak or playing thru injuries and pain in both reg season and playoffs past. Maybe a better question is "are they tough"? No. But they are in no way soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"just let them play" is how we want and how it has always been with playoff ref's. Was it OK for that ref to not call a penalty on Marchand? NO. That was over the top... as was Sedins non-reaction. 53 minutes ago, CaptKirk888 said: In fairness though, they have both been great players for van, can't imagine how our team would have looked without them. Certainly would have been different... for better or worse. 53 minutes ago, CaptKirk888 said: As for being soft?

No. But they are in no way soft. Saying they're not tough is wrong too. They aren't "physical", but they are most certainly tough and most definitely not soft.

OK, I'll give you guys the "not soft" thing. I have seen them play through losing teeth and the like. Wrong word used. They lack the ability and strength to play physical. When the going gets tough, the Sedins get pushed over. They cannot give a hit, and more importantly, they are taken out of the play easily when taking a hit.

J2Dzilla Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Canucks were better with Sedins playing. That being said, If it were to happen again next year my bet is management might step in and say to take it off. Give another young guy a try.

Yup, if youngsters have stepped it up a few notches, and hopefully we draft one of those elite players that can/might be nhl'ers right away. We'll just have to wait and see.
