Personally, I don’t really care about the World Cup of Hockey. It’s kind of a stupid tournament, with Team North America and Team Europe competing. Getting a first taste of the Vancouver Canucks’ new top line of Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin and Loui Eriksson, however, had me excited right from the start.
The best part: it’s working well.
Team Sweden is relying heavily on the Canucks trio, and it’s paying off for them. After two games, Henrik Sedin leads Sweden with two points, Daniel and Eriksson have one each. The simple stats could be better, but that’s not all that matters.
