It boggles the mind that so many fans here are so completely unappreciative of how special what we've seen from the Sedins over the past decade plus has been. We'll never see the likes of it again in our lifetimes, and a large portion of the fanbase has spent their careers complaining about them and essentially staring into the mud while a rainbow was overhead.
They don't play a tough Canadian game where they drive to the net, and they don't score like Ovechkin or Naslund or Bure. Over time though, I've grown to love their style of play more than the others. Bure was amazing to see when he got the puck because every time he had it, he could score. With the Sedins though, you can think they're just cycling harmlessly or working along the boards when all of a sudden a player sneaks into the slot and Sedin puts the puck right on his tape blind. Special stuff, and they certainly play a physical game with how they get slashed and crosschecked every single night.
I remember when the Sedins first came over and they couldn't even skate. It was embarrassing and I remember people being very concerned that we traded up to pick these guys. Soon though, it was clear that they worked hard and were solid defensively and didn't really cost you when they were on the ice. They worked on their skating and they started scoring off the rush and put up insane point totals while having pretty poor wingers (Burrows is pretty okay, but he isn't a first liner without chemistry). Klatt, Carter, Pyatt. Imagine if the Sedins had someone like Vrbata 5 years ago, or even a hall of fame lock like Selanne. They would have been devastating.
