"Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts: Call it synergy, call it Gestalt Theory, call it a metaphysical riddle if you want. The Canucks call it Henrik and Daniel Sedin, and on the chalkboard it reads 1 + 1 = 3. "They're still good players when they're not playing with one another, Hank has proved that during this time Danny is out," said Alain Vignault. "But, obviously, I believe they're better together." Sure, Henrik has been a point-a-game guy in the 17 games Daniel's missed since an Alex Edler slapshot broke a bone in his foot in the fourth game of the season on Oct. 7. Nine goals in his past 11 games, too. Not bad. And, despite Henrik's protestations to the contrary ..."

Canuck Daniel Sedin aims for Sunday return vs. Blackhawks

Comment

November 18

Vancouver Sun

"Injured Canucks forward Daniel Sedin will not play Friday against the Colorado Avalanche, but is hopeful he might be back for Sunday's home game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Sedin skated on his own this morning, but did not participate in the team's practice at GM Place. He said he hopes to practise with the team on Thursday. Sedin has been out six weeks with a broken left foot, suffered in an Oct. 7 game against the Montreal Canadiens. "It felt really good, actually," Sedin said of his foot. "We'll see how it is tomorrow morning and maybe I'll skate with the team tomorrow." Sedin was initially forecast to miss between four and six weeks with the injury and had said he'd hoped to beat ..."

Ailing Daniel Sedin not skating at Canucks practice

Comment

Vancouver Sun

"The Vancouver Canucks are back at work, practising now at GM Place in the afterglow of Saturday's big 8-2 in Denver over the Colorado Avalanche. One significant player who isn't skating today, however, is ailing winger Daniel Sedin. Sedin, who suffered a broken foot back on Oct. 7, has been skating with the team of late — but isn't for whatever reason today."

Canucks' Daniel Sedin sent home; broken foot not healed enough to play

Comment

Vancouver Sun

"Injured Canuck winger Daniel Sedin has been sent home to Vancouver and won't play until at least next Friday's home game. Daniel Sedin did not practise as planned in Detroit, indicating his broken foot has not healed well enough for him to play. Sedin broke his foot Oct. 7 and rejoined the Canucks Saturday in Dallas after skating for three straight days in Vancouver. Sedin practised well on Sunday, but was kept off the ice on Monday. He took the morning skate Tuesday in St. Louis although he was not going to play that night."

Daniel Sedin could return as early as Thursday

Comment

Vancouver Province

"Daniel Sedin pushed hard in practice Sunday. The training staff pushed harder Monday. The Vancouver Canucks winger was advised to take treatment Monday on the left foot he fractured Oct. 7 after his first full practice since suffering the ailment. He expects to skate this morning, but his place on the top line with Henrik Sedin and Alex Burrows will be taken by Steve Bernier as the Canucks face the St. Louis Blues tonight for the first time since a playoff sweep of the club last spring. Having a major injury for the first time during the regular season has taxed Sedin mentally and physically. He skated three times on his own last week before arriving in Dallas on Saturday night. "I was ..."

Canucks' Sedins together again — tears stop falling

Comment

Vancouver Sun

columnist Iain Macintyre

"Unseparated from birth until a month ago, Daniel and Henrik Sedin finally know what it's like to miss each other. Apparently, absence made their hearts grow fonder. Yeah, pass the Kleenex. "Every night, he cried himself to sleep," Daniel Sedin said Sunday, reunited in practice with his twin after missing one month due to a broken foot. "We've played together so long. I knew he would do pretty good, but it would be different without me. "There were a lot of games he knew he could play better, but the team was winning and that's all that matters." A lot of Canucks should be weepy at the Sedin family reunion. It boosts the National Hockey League team 11/2 players: all of Daniel and the half ..."

Sedin has cast removed but won't beat his own deadline to return to lineup

Comment

November 2

Vancouver Province

"Daniel Sedin has had a cast removed from his fractured left foot, but the Vancouver Canucks winger won't beat his own time-line to return to the NHL club. Sedin suffered the injury Oct. 7 when struck by a second-period Alex Edler shot against the Montreal Canadiens and had hoped to return in three weeks. Four weeks might be a stretch, too. Five sounds better. "He's still in a walking boot for a week, so he's a little bit away," said Canucks coach Alain Vigneault."

Salo, Sedin getting better quickly, Rypien ready

Comment

October 28

Vancouver Province

"It appears the battered Vancouver Canucks may be finally getting some good news on the injury front. Defenceman Sami Salo skated a full 60 minutes with six other Canucks on what was an official off-day for the team on Monday and looked close to returning. Salo, who sprained a ligament in his knee on Oct. 11 against Dallas, was expected to be out four to six weeks, but could be a candidate to be back much sooner, possibly in one of the Canucks' weekend games. The Canucks have missed Salo on the blueline, where he forms the team's top shutdown pairing with Willie Mitchell and on the power play, where his big shot commands attention from opposing penalty-killers. "I talked to Burnie [Canucks ..."

Canucks' depth suddenly an issue as Salo, Sedin out at least a month

Comment

October 14

Vancouver Province

"The Canucks started preseason with what many thought was the deepest team they've had in years, maybe ever. Now, that depth is going to be put to the test. Already without Daniel Sedin, their top goal scorer, who will be out four to six weeks with a broken foot, the news just got worse. An MRI has revealed Sami Salo has a second-degree MCL (knee ligament) sprain. He, too, is expected to miss the next four to six weeks. For now, the Canucks will go with six blueliners. Aaron Rome will take Salo's spot in the lineup Friday. The team said it will not recall another defenceman from Manitoba. Not yet, anyway. The plan is to go with six D-men until Mathieu Schneider, who is recovering from ..."

Canucks lose Sedin to broken foot

Comment

October 12

Vancouver Province

"For the first time since the 2006-07 season, Vancouver Canucks centre Henrik Sedin did not have brother Daniel by his side in a National Hockey League game. Daniel is out four to six weeks with a broken left foot so Henrik had to go it alone Sunday night against the Dallas Stars at GM Place. Daniel suffered the injury early in the second period of Wednesday's 7-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. To make matters worse, he was hit with friendly fire as the damage shot came off the stick of teammate Alex Edler. Daniel was X-rayed after the second period Wednesday but no fracture was found and he kept playing. However, when the swelling persisted, he was X-rayed again on Friday and the ..."

Canucks sniper Daniel Sedin out with deep bone bruise on heel

Comment

October 10

Vancouver Province

"Just when the Canucks started looking like they were all right, their top sniper may not be. Daniel Sedin has a deep bone bruise on his right heel and could be out Sunday when Dallas visits Vancouver. It may not be the only game he misses. The Canucks don't yet know if the foot is broken. If it is, it would be a major blow for the Canucks. A bone bruise is a sign the bone has been injured sufficiently to have inflammation within the bone itself. The bruising and swelling mean the Canucks haven't been able to do an MRI, general manager Mike Gillis said. The Canucks must wait for the swelling to go down and that could take from one to three days. Henrik Sedin said he's hoping his brother ..."

NHL checks Leafs for speaking out of turn

Comment

October 8

Toronto Sun

"The NHL fined the Maple Leafs an undisclosed amount for "inappropriate public comments" made by coach Ron Wilson about pending free agents Daniel and Henrik Sedin prior to the opening of the market on July 1. During an interview with the FAN-590 on June 30, Wilson suggested the Leafs planned to pursue the Sedin twins when they became eligible for unrestricted free agency at noon the following day. The twins were still property of the Vancouver Canucks at the time of the incident and were inked to matching long-term contracts by Canucks GM Mike Gillis just before the market opened. But deputy commissioner Bill Daly added there was no further evidence Wilson or general manager Brian Burke ..."

Twins digging dirt on Samuelsson

Comment

September 15

Vancouver Province

"Henrik Sedin called countryman Mikael Samuelsson a dirty player Sunday following the Canucks' initial training camp session. Twin brother Daniel then chimed in with the same summation. Samuelsson should consider it a complement, not a criticism. While those in attendance at UBC were salivating at the prospect of a prime-time Swedish scoring line -- especially after tic-tac-toe tallies during Sunday drills -- the Sedins are also sold on the free-agent acquisition because his game packs as much will as skill. "He's bigger than you think he is and he's got a great shot and is a good skater," said Henrik. "And he can be a little dirty. He's kind of a dirty player and not Swedish that way. He ..."
