“You need to communicate. That’s what good teams do, I feel. We have a group that has been together for a long time. We are comfortable with each other. It’s an easy group to come into. I think you need that.”

Can’t argue with the results, but since Sedin only mentions them having three such meetings this season—while there have been more than a few solid streaks of excellent performances this year— perhaps it simply comes down to, ‘a good team is a good team.’

But hey, if they want to sit around and talk about it once in a while, who are we to argue?

Talk therapy… what the hell. Even Sigmund Freud would have approved.
