nothings wrong with them. they're doing really well and are playing excellent 2-way games. they're our best forwards offensively and defensively
Not sure if serious.

In all seriousness, I think the fact that we don't have secondary scoring or a strong checking line is hurting them the most right now. They have the entirety of the other team's focus right now. If they're not dueling top lines constantly at home they're dueling top defensive formations constantly on the road.
They're coming out a head in their match ups, but we're not going to get good production out of them if the trend continues. It's why Kesler and a third line center are so important. Such a huge trickle down effect for the entire line up.
He's right. Watch again. They're playing against their reputation right now. Excellent defensive hockey.Not sure if serious.

i'm completely serious. they're getting some help from goaltending but right now they've been on less goals per min/20min/60min than jonathan toews, david backes, patrice bergeron... the list goes on
right now when henrik sedin is on the ice, 77% of the goals scored are for the canucks. seventy seven percent. for every goal scored against, his line scores three

Well, it should be expected. They top the team in O-zone starts and league-wide, out of the non-scrub forwards, only Malkin, Gaborik and Huberdeau start more up there than them.
Henrik has certainly elevated his game without the puck this year. I've been really impressed with him.
Daniel is struggling but I'm going to attribute that to the Keith hit last year. He'll turn it around.
I've been very impressed by them but did not know this. Pretty amazing.i'm completely serious. they're getting some help from goaltending but right now they've been on less goals per min/20min/60min than jonathan toews, david backes, patrice bergeron, pavel datsyuk... the list goes on

throw in kopitar, dustin brown, ryan suter, zdeno chara, ryan getzlaf, both staal brothers...
right now they are literally outscoring their opposition more frequently as a ratio than sidney crosby (at 71%)
Are you talking about the way the coach used Sedins, Hodgson, and Malhotra last year or do you have some evidence that this is still happening (I'm too lazy to look up the stats)? I didn't think they were being used that way to any out of the ordinary degree this year. Considering the injury troubles, I would be very surprised if they were getting away with it.Well, it should be expected. They top the team in O-zone starts and league-wide, out of the non-scrub forwards, only Malkin, Gaborik and Huberdeau start more up there than them.
I stand corrected. Still though, they look pretty excellent defensively out there, making smart plays all over the ice.hes right. here's hanks breakdowns, O/D/N
this year: 45.6/24.1/30.3
last year: 50.9/13.4/35.7
so yeah, hank gets nice starts, but they're not as nice as last year and he's doing better. both he and daniel have absolutely improved their 2way game
