you know it really is hard to get a hate on for Henrik Sedin....
Quote:
Henrik Sedin may be biased because he’s talking about a countryman, but the loftiness of the praise isn’t lost.
The Vancouver Canucks captain was asked about his knowledge of Mikael Backlund and didn’t mince words he believes the Calgary Flames centre is one of the NHL’s most underrated players.
“He’s one of those guys you could tell early he had a lot of upside, but when you’re a young guy like that and don’t get the ice time you think you should have or get put in non-offensive situations, it’s gonna take some time to get where you want to be,” Sedin said. “They’ve been confident he’s gonna get better and better each year. I know he’s worked hard in the summers to get there, we work with the same guy, and you can tell he’s taken big strides.”
