Comments on: Recap: Colorado 2 - Vancouver 1 (SO) http://inthecheapseats.com/avs-recaps/11-13-2008/recap-colorado-2-vancouver-1-so Your NHL 3rd jersey source (with some Colorado Avalanche stuff mixed in) Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:10:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: EricTheRed http://inthecheapseats.com/avs-recaps/11-13-2008/recap-colorado-2-vancouver-1-so#comment-8077 EricTheRed Fri, 14 Nov 2008 03:21:21 +0000 http://inthecheapseats.com/?p=969#comment-8077 I've always thought of the sedins as playmakers, not goal scorers, so it didn't surprise me that they weren't in the shootout. I've also seen (and wish I could duplicate) wolskis move in the SO. What did surprise me was the svatos pick. I haven't seen his SO #s but he wouldn't be a pick for me. Just like sakic, goal scoring ability does not a SO victor make. But he proved me wrong, so what do I know? My point is just that even though sakic, and the sedins, and even svats are prolific goal scorers in regulation, the SO is not traditional hockey and non-traditional players work better in it. (although some guys are studs in both) I’ve always thought of the sedins as playmakers, not goal scorers, so it didn’t surprise me that they weren’t in the shootout.
