The Sedin Thread is always interesting... to me, it's a place where logic and reason seemingly fly out the window in favour of some strange and very flawed arguments. Not at all uncommon to see things like cherry-picking of stats, examples of outmoded thinking such as concepts of 'playoff players vs. non-playoff players', sample size fallacy and possession straight up being ignored when it's convenient. But alas, we continue.
They deserve another legitimate chance at the cup.I wish we could trade these fantastic human beings.
They deserve another legitimate chance at the cup.
I think you just described HFBoards lol.
Maybe, but usually you can count on threads like Armchair GM and the majority of other Player Discussions to have some semblance of sanity for the most part. But the Sedin thread? Hell no. Though to me it's getting better overall... just a few bastions of Illogic and Unreason left here and there.
It would hurt to see them win a cup with another team, but they damn well fully deserve a chance at it.
The irony is that it is precisely because they are such great human beings and representatives of the organization that the debate gets illogical at times...
Any hint of criticism is met with such a massive rebuttal that the rebuttal to the rebuttal becomes equally extreme. It is a thread of extremes and worthy entertainment.
This.
Tthey have had a good run after a so so start to their careers and have been very good players but each player has holes on their resumes when compared with other great players and they aren't winning a SC any time soon and their contracts make a trade unlikely as well.
also while they are twins, thus part of their novelty, Hank has aged considerably better since the Duncan Keith hit on Daniel, no 2 ways about it.
has the distinction of being the most filled HERO chart in the database. meaningful only in that daniel is/was a ****ing amazing hockey player
They deserve another legitimate chance at the cup.
They'll have it on the Canucks
Lmao Hero chart telling me Daniel Sedin is the bets goal scorer in the NHL, top of kek
Over that timeframe (2008-10) yes he was one of the most efficient goal-scorers in the league.
Efficient is a cop out for feasted on Edmonton/Calgary in regular seasonx3.
They'll have their chance to prove to me they're the best we'll ever have in about 2/3 years
