Henrik Sedin News: Pro Sports Daily

"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 ..."

Hat trick for Henrik Sedin as Canucks defeat the Avalanche 8-2

Vancouver Sun

"The Vancouver Canucks escaped two storms Saturday night. They planned to make it out of Denver before the worst of a snowstorm was forecast to strike overnight, and they took with them a cleansing 8-2 victory against the Colorado Avalanche to escape the murk of a three-game National Hockey League losing streak. The Canucks finished their five-game, 10-day road odyssey at 2-3, and the victory gave them some positive feelings heading into a five-day break between games in Vancouver. "We wanted to end with a win for sure," Canuck goalie Roberto Luongo said after a second straight solid performance since returning from a rib injury. "We'd lost three games in a row and we didn't want to come ..."

Canucks' Sedins together again — tears stop falling

"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 ..."

Henrik's crying time is almost over

"The best barometer for true health of the Vancouver Canucks wasn't a comment from the coach or offerings from the afflicted Sunday. It was a 20-minute bag skate. Daniel Sedin arrived here in time to test his fractured left foot and survived the torture. Flu-ridden Steve Bernier got out of bed after three days of isolation to do the same, while Roberto Luongo stayed in bed as the latest to experience flu-like symptoms. It could mean Daniel and Henrik will be reunited to face the Blues in St. Louis on Tuesday. It could mean the same for Bernier. And it could mean Luongo, who had been taking practice shots in recovering from a hairline rib fracture, may not play until Thursday in Detroit. Or ..."

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 ..."
