If van wins the cup or at least goes to WCF, ppl will start to give sedins the recognition that they deserve.

Pretty much that is the top 5. Some people like to argue guys like Datsyuk also though which is annoying. He is not better than the Sedins. Hes amazing but not nearly as good as anyone in the top 5.

He's close, same with Malkin, but just off.

Yeah, I agree. i just hate it when people put them above the Sedins.

[sfgiants5518]

I think the issue is the sedins are a pair. And people don't think they're good individually but only as a pair.

That's true. But we saw a glimpse of Henrik without Daniel last season and he was just as amazing. In fact he won the Art Ross even without Daniel for several games.

[sfgiants5518]

Right, but the 18 games is such a small sample.

Also, does anyone else think Burrows is too predictable with his shootout attempts? He goes to the backhand every time, needs to be like Raymond.. and be a lil more versatile.

[NUCK-U]

Burrows, I think we got spoiled last year.

I wonder if his recent injury/surgery has him playing more hesitant, less likely be be as physical. He just doesn't seem as effective as last year. And I'm sure it's not all because he stopped yapping.

Seems there's a few Canucks who are having trouble finding the net lately too (Burrows, Raymond, Tambellini), and even Kesler's cooled off a little. Not worried about it, as long as we're healthy for the playoffs. Really looking forward to seeing what Higgins will bring to the team.

Another thing: the Canucks now have 95 points, with 14 games left. How soon do you think until the Canucks clinch a playoff spot? Will they get to 100 points before clinching? I wonder what the record is.
