Can the Sedins find their groove?

That's the question that many hockey pundits in Vancouver and fans alike are asking as the Vancouver Canucks head into the Western Conference Finals to take on the San Jose Sharks.

Both Henrik and Daniel Sedin had great seasons for the Canucks this year. Daniel was first on the team and in the league in scoring with 104 points (41 goals and 63 assists), while Henrik was second on the team in scoring with 94 points (19 goals and 75 assists). For those of you that are mathematicians, that's a combined 198 points.

Unfortunately for the Canucks, it has been a different story for the Sedin twins in the playoffs.

While they have not been terrible through 13 games (Daniel has 10 points; Henrik has 9), they have not been as noticeable as they were in the regular season. 8 of those combined 19 points have come on the power play, showing how much they're stuggling at even strength (both have minus-8 ratings).

This can probably be attributed to a few different factors. First off, opponents know just how dangerous they can be, so they end up focusing on them in matchups and make sure not to give them much room on the ice.

Secondly, it's the playoffs. Goals are a bit tougher to come by and you won't see many great give-and-go's, 2-on-1's, cycling plays, or passes sneaking out from behind the net. Defenses know their habits and do everything they can to lessen their opportunities.

With that said, however, the Sedins are going to need to wake up when they start playing against the Sharks. Just like the Canucks, the Sharks have a lot of offense at their disposal so the Sedin's will need to do everything they can to start producing on a consistent basis. The Canucks can't rely on Ryan Kesler to provide all of the offense for the second straight series.

Again, the twins haven't been terrible, but they also haven't been Sedin-like. It takes two to change that.
