Sedin Twins Helpless in Vancouver Canucks vs. Boston Bruins’ Game 4 -NHL Stanley Cup Finals Update
Vancouver Canucks was shutout on Wednesday, June 8th, by Boston Bruins, 4-0, in Game 4 of the 2011 National Hockey League (NHL) Stanley Cup Finals and the Sedin twins, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, remained helpless throughout the game at the TD Centre
in Boston, Massachusetts.
No matter how good both the Sedins were in the previous two regular seasons as the twin brothers took turns winning the Art Ross Trophy for scoring the most points, they have not showed that Most Valuable Player (MVP) performance throughout this postseason
final series so far.
Now, Vancouver Canucks is headed back to its hometown city, Vancouver, for a much anticipated Game 5, which could have been an elimination game to win their first Stanley Cup in the franchise’s history, had things turned out different in the past two games.
Henrik and Daniel Sedin have combined for a total of only four points throughout this series and it certainly is a major factor to where they are currently.
During the 2009-2010 season, Henrik Sedin was awarded the Art Ross Trophy along with the Hart Trophy for the most points scored and being the league’s MVP, respectively.
At the end of the 2010-2011 season, Daniel won the Art Ross because of his 104-point achievement and led his team to also winning the Presidents’ Trophy for playing the best season.
It is widely becoming popular that the Sedins are chokers and in crucial moments, they are simply unable to grab opportunities coming their way.
If they cannot find their game in the next matchup at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, the series will return to Boston and Canucks might very well face a historic collapse in four straight losses.
Statistically compared, Boston Bruins is way below Vancouver Canucks in terms of capabilities and performance levels, but with the injury of its centre player, Nathan Horton, it has found that rare spark which has taken them to new heights.
If Vancouver wishes to survive, the Sedins must also find a similar spark or else they will be considered as one of the biggest chokers in NHL playoff’s history and that is never a good way to be remembered.
