Veteran twin or young gun?

By David Hollinshead

but there is no doubt that

the Canuck’s Sedin twins
have attained the superstar status
everyone had hoped for when they
were drafted back in 1999. But
could anyone have fathomed that
they could have alternating scoring
title years?

Last year, Henrik not only won
the Art Ross trophy with 112 points
(29-83), but the Hart Trophy as the
NHL’s most valuable player. This
season, he isn’t having as amazing
a year but is still on pace for a 97
point season. Now it’s his twin
brother Daniel who has stepped into
the spot light.

Daniel has always been
labelled the goal scorer of the pait,
and Henrik being his “wingman”
(despite being the center on the
line) always seemingly setting
him up at every opportunity. Their
efforts have Daniel on pace to
score 104 points and currently, he
is the NHL’s scoring leader, upping
Tampa Lightning’s young star Steve

I: may have taken a while,

 

 

Stamkos. 104 points doesn’t eclipse
Henrik’s season of 112, but wouldn’t
it be something if Daniel took home
the Art Ross and possibly the Hart?
Henrik’s claim of being the better
brother might be silenced for at
least another season if this became
a fact. When questioned, Henrik
jokingly claimed, “If I had someone
like me setting me up, I’d have as
many goals as (Daniel) does.” The
Canuck’s are currently sitting first
in the league, largely due to the
contributions of their dynamic duo.
Daniel’s not guaranteed
anything yet. As mentioned before,
Stamkos has been flirting with the
scoring lead all season long and is
right on Daniel’s heels. Stamkos’
first season was nothing too
amazing, but he had a solid 46 point
season (23-23). His next season in
the NHL saw his point totals over
double, as he-definitely found his
stride, hitting 95 points (51-44) and
at that point, everyone in the NHL
knew he was going to be something
special (he also picked up a Rocket
Richard Trophy in the process).
