The Sedins bothered me almost the whole playoffs. I understand that they aren't the types of players to get hot and bothered easily, but sometimes they looked like fucking robots with NO emotion whatsoever.

remember nazzy? same type of guy
dont even remember if zetterberg or lidstrom lost their cool before
^ I suppose being rather tame in terms of the emotion is better than letting others see they are completely getting to you. Mindgames is almost half the battle.

VANCOUVER — They were still kids when they came to Vancouver, and we've seen Daniel and Henrik Sedin grow up and into world-class hockey players.
They were poor as players Wednesday night, but outstanding as people. The trade-off wasn't nearly enough to keep the Boston Bruins from rolling over the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 to win the Stanley Cup.
"No cheering in the press box" is one of sports journalism's oldest and most sacred mantras. But it was hard not to cheer for them in the dressing room, where the twins went through 30 minutes that were as painful as anything Boston defenceman Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg subjected them to over seven games.
The Sedins said their job was to score and they didn't. No excuses. They said they tried but weren't good enough. They took full responsibility for failing to deliver in the biggest game of their careers.
Henrik battled an injury during the playoffs. Given the chance to lighten the criticism against him by revealing what was bothering him, the Canuck captain said: "A scoring slump."
It's too bad all that character and accountability and dignity didn't translate to points in the final.
National Hockey League scoring champion and Hart Trophy favourite next week, Daniel had only one goal and three assists in the seven-game final. And Henrik, the last scoring champion and most valuable player, managed just a single goal.
Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron matched the Sedins' series goal total on Wednesday night alone.
"We had one thing on our mind tonight and that was to win and have a great game," Daniel told one of the unending waves of reporters in the Canucks dressing room. "We want to be the guys to win games for this team, and obviously tonight we did not do that. We needed to find a way to solve (Boston goalie) Tim Thomas. I think that was the biggest problem for us this series, and we couldn't do it. There's no excuse. It's our job. Our only job is to score and we came up short."
Scoring is not the Sedins' only job, but for a few more years it is easily their most important one.
Not only were they blanked in Game 7, they were on for all four Boston goals, leaving Daniel minus-9 for the playoffs and Henrik minus-11.
Henrik still led the Canucks with 22 points in 25 playoff games, and Daniel was second with 20. And until the final, each was a candidate to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. But Thomas won that in a landslide, and his work against the Sedins was the deal-closer.
"Maybe we tried to simplify things too much," Henrik said of the final-round scoring slump that infected the entire Canucks roster. "We tried to get shots and rebounds instead of sticking to moving the puck and moving our feet. We got away from that a little bit. When maybe the game was on the line, we tried to get a simple shot, which is good a lot of times. But with Thomas in there and the big D-men they have there, it's tough to get to rebounds.
"Boston is a great team. We were lucky we had (a lead of) 3-2 after five games. The games at home we were able to beat Thomas. But we couldn't find enough ways to beat them. We didn't come up maybe to our standards, but we were close. We played a great team.
"This is the toughest thing you can go through. That's why it hurts a lot to lose in the seventh game. You want to be back. This was the best time I had as a hockey player even though we'd been through a lot of bad stuff the last couple of weeks. We've learned a lot."
The Canucks are lucky to have these guys, as players and as leaders.
They arrived in Vancouver in 2000 and after their first three seasons, butchered by some critics who failed to see the character behind the slow-developing NHL skills, the Sedins wondered if they were going to fail in North America.
They never complained about that criticism, but it hurt them. So did their sense that they were letting down the team that spent second- and third-overall draft picks on them.
This final stings, too.
"I think this is worse," Henrik said. "It's the same, but worse, because back then we weren't even close to being where we are right now. We were so close to winning it all . . . and being seen as top players. We have to come back and battle through that (criticism) again, like we have all our careers. And that's what we're going to do."
They were still standing there in the Canucks' dressing room, accepting blame, taking responsibility, when reporters were returning to the Rogers Arena press box to write. Television screens showed that rioting had started downtown. Police cars were being overturned. Fires were burning. It was not our city's finest moment.
Sedins will accept blame, but we all know drama queen Luongo wont for sure. Fucking guy talks out of his ass and doesnt got the shit to back it up! See ya, in come Schneider.
When I'm done, I will post every single picture I've got of rioter faces. We got 50k people here...someone has to know these douchebags.
Yes, we're not supposed to post picture of locals. I don't care. I control the ban hammer anyways.
Most of them are pictures in the act as well. A few I did rapid fire and got a slide show, LOL so they can't say "Oh, I was just holding that newsbox NEAR that Audi!"

this team is still good but what r we gonna do to fill up the forward position? A yr ago ray kes sammy were rank 7th in scoring amongs top lines and sedins being first.
A couple of you have PMed me in regard to anonymously providing IDs.
If you want to do so, you can send me the info. I will be delivering a pack of pictures and hopefully some IDs to VPD. I've already plastered these people's pictures over Twitter so there's no point in me remaining anonymous. If you're willing to help ID these fuckers, then I'm more than willing to do my part as well.

Fuck. That almost brought tears to my eyes. We can't ask for better leaders in our team. The Sedins are a fucking godsend and I really do hope the twins and the rest of the Canucks get their Stanley Cup after this learning experience.
They may have performed way below our expectations in the 7-game Finals series, but they sure as hell responded as true champions at heart.
God bless the Canucks and our city. Keep it classy Vancouver..

Can you post the link of where you posted the pics, I don't see them on your blog.
I think Ehrhoff will be gone, he'll be offered a big contract by another team and the Canucks won't be able to match or willing to match. I think Bieksa will stay, he played really well with Hamhuis. I would still love to see Canucks get an top 6 forward but with the salary cap the way it is, I doubt they'll be able too.
i'm still so full of disappointment. not in our team, but in the fact that we came SO close yet again, only to fall to second place. no doubt we got outplayed, but that isn't stopping me from feeling like shit
worst part is, this hasn't even hit home yet. when it does, man oh man. i'm gonna be in tears or something
This thread really hurts to read right now. I think I might need a few days away. Anyways, just want to say thanks to the regular posters in this thread who are here posting everyday. You guys know who you are and you have honestly made this season an even more enjoyable one for me.
Ehrhoff has been a solid piece in our normally up-tempo styled play. I would love to see him signed for a few more years.
Cost is always a factor, but MG has proven to be an excellent GM thus far, so we shall see what happens with him.
