Legacy Of Los Hermanos Sedines?

might as well apply that to pre lockout Datsyuk as well, who was also buried in depth.

they were decent playoff performers in their primes

The Sedins were the 2nd line pre lockout. They were just awful back then. Super late bloomers.

Datsyuk was buried on the 4th line, playing selke level defense his entire career.

That era of Swedes is odd.

Sundin, Sedins, Alfie, Naslund couldn't get it done in playoffs.

Then the other end guys like Forsberg and Lidstrom playoff beasts...though more talent to work with

Mats Sundin is almost 10 years older than the Sedins, and Lidström is 10 years older, definitely not the same era of players.

One funny 'anecdote' around the Sedins is prior to the 2006 Olympics, when we had a broadcaster and former coach campaigning hard on TV to bring (his former player) Marcus Nilson on the team instead of the Sedins.

Zetterberg was the best forward on that team though, right in the middle of his prime.

Funny how playoff beasts often tend to be guys who play with more talent around them as well.

And if they would have been all the same generation, almost automatically some must end up in the not getting it done in the playoff list regardless of play, there is just 1 cup a year and 5 teams,...

That type of list can be made with any group large enough at anytime I would imagine, it would be odd to be otherwise.

Zetterberg was successful because of his willingness to battle and drive the play.

If the Sedins were so good, and they played with eachother their entire careers. Why don't they have better playoff numbers?
