Around SBN: Identifying The 19th-Best Team In Baseball

how to know the blues are an insecure group

from an article in the vancouver sun today:

Not only do quiet Canucks Daniel and Henrik Sedin talk on the ice, they chirp, according to David Backes.

The Blues' centre said he raised his gloves and stick into Henrik's face with seven seconds remaining in Sunday's game because the Canuck talked trash to him.

"It was unsportsmanlike, I thought, on his part to come and rub in the fact it was going to be a 3-0 series deficit for us," Backes said Monday. "I take exception to it. It was nothing to hurt him, maybe just send the message that we're a prideful team in here and you may have gotten the best of us that night, but you don't need to rub it in our faces."

you have got to be effing kidding me.  regardless of the veracity of backes' comments (sedin refutes them in the next paragraph) i can not believe that a 6'4" 220lbs professional hockey player can have his feelings hurt by a player on the opposing team informing him of the current series standings.  in the immortal words of ryan kesler: "give your balls a tug you effing pussy".

also, i love the irony of backes stating, with a straight face apparently, that henrik was being unsportsmanlike, so i cross checked him in the face.

Did he tell him in Swedish? That woulda even been more fun.

I just get the sense that the Sedin’s are out there on the ice, with the puck, passing back and forth and actually talking to defenders…’c’mon candy-ass, take it from me…c’MON!’ There is so much Harlem Globetrotters to what they do with the puck, it makes me chuckle from time to time.

I wonder what their trash talking sounds like

Maybe something like…

“Hey Henrik!”
“Yes Daniel?”
“You know what sucks about David Backes?”
“What’s that?”
[said in unison, smirking] “No twin!”

…both Sedins skate away doing backwards figure eights and laughing.
