And if he doesn't play, the haters label him as "soft"

How many consecutive regular games has Henrik played? Over 550 right? The guy is a gamer and so is his brother.

from Freidmans 30 thoughts:

6. Barry Trotz to HNIC's Mark Lee before the playoffs began: "In the Western Conference, there will be no upsets. If the No. 8 seed [Los Angeles Kings] went to the Stanley Cup final, I wouldn't be surprised."

Mark Lee responded with "thats a very acute observation ... or was it obtuse?"

I hope you're making that up, jstew

is there any doubt Freidman is the best of the bunch at cbc hnic ? I hope he goes to tsn soon

7. After the Vancouver Canucks went down 0-2 to the Kings, asked a player who'd been in that ditch -- and came back to win -- how his team did it. He said there are two things you can't do: wait for a lucky break (like, say, Nicklas Lidstrom scoring from centre); or expect someone else to make a difference. "Honestly, the thing I remember most is everyone thinking they were going to make the play that would change the series," he said.

8. Kept that quote in mind watching Game 3 of Canucks-Kings. How many Canucks looked like they wanted to positively change things? What stood out was Henrik Sedin coming back on the ice for a 3:21 shift, including a power-play, after Dustin Brown clobbered him (legally).

11. Another theory on why Alain Vigneault removed goaltender Roberto Luongo for Game 3? To put the heat on his players. In some ways, Luongo's become a built-in excuse -- he's the first one to get blamed, so it takes the spotlight off everyone else. If he's on the bench, the focus goes elsewhere.

Friedman and Hrudey are both good, in my opinion. PJ Stock is a trainwreck and Ron Maclean is too swarmy.

I respect them a ton... I just think they rely on each others play too much. Nothing really wrong with that, just seems like when one isn't playing, the other one regresses a bit. Unbelievable duo though.

well henrik won a hart trophy the season Daniel went out ... i dont think they regress at all when the other is out ... they make others better ... case in point Max lapierre scoring all those points down the stretch when he played with henrik

and while I say they make others better ... this offseason has shown that not everyone on this canucks roster has the skill and hockey sense to play with either of the twins

i dont think Hrudey is good at all ... there are stretches where he just sits there and says nothing ... Stock is an idiot ... he sickens me ... and he doesnt let people finish what they are saying ... when cbc had Bruce boudreau on he instantly became the best panelist on their intermission

Anson Carter never realized how good life was as the 3rd brotha...

Well, if could be my Medicine Hat Tigers bias that sees Hrudey in a positive light. I like the fact that he's not afraid to call out players (Rene Bourque for being lazy is an example) and I think he provides good analysis. I do agree that Gabby was good during the intermissions.

nice try Tanev ... jebus ... check his glove ... all thats missing was the cross to crucify him lol

maybe Tanev is a hologram like Tupac

 

[mattola]

no starter named. this confuses me. if you trust luongo name him. if you trust Schneider name him. there is NO advantage doing it this way. this is crazy
