Daniel Sedin RUMORS & NEWS

Vancouver Province "There they were, standing in the dressing room close together as they have always done so courageously throughout their great careers. The Sedin twins were there to answer all the questions you might have about the team's inability to win again. They were facing the music just as they did after..." May 06

Vancouver Sun "Markus Naslund could really use Henrik Sedin right about now. Daniel, too, for that matter. But centres are what Naslund desperately needs for his Modo team that is not only winless in its first three games of the Swedish Elite League regular season, but has lost its top two centres to..." September 21

Pro Hockey Talk "Dennis Bernstein passes along Expressen.se's report that Henrik and Daniel Sedin plan on staying in Vancouver in the event of a lockout – under most circumstances. One possibility that can change things, however, is if the entire season gets canceled. In that case, the Sedin twins have..." August 15

Vancouver Province "Mayday! Throughout the month of May, we're taking a look at the Canucks roster, and the organization, every weekday. Today's subjects: Henrik and Daniel Sedin. It's commonly postulated that elite NHL teams have a window of opportunity to win the Stanley Cup, based on the age and makeup of their..." May 09

Vancouver Province "There's a reason only three teams in NHL history have managed to scale a three-games-to-none gorge. It's onerous enough to win four in a row during the regular season. That's while munching on cupcakes sprinkled into the schedule. The Canucks did it just twice this year, without counting..." April 22

Los Angeles Times "Daniel Sedin's return to the Vancouver Canucks had a doubly detrimental effect for the Kings, denying them a first-round playoff sweep and creating a new threat they must defuse when the series resumes Sunday in Vancouver. The gifted winger's first appearance since suffering a concussion on..." April 21

Vancouver Sun "If there was any further proof needed that Vancouver Canucks star forward Daniel Sedin has recovered from his concussion, it was provided Thursday in the media room at Rogers Arena. For more than 13 minutes, Daniel stood at a podium and answered every question Vancouver hockey journalists could..." April 20

Vancouver Province "Daniel Sedin, like most everyone, was very complimentary of the play of Cory Schneider in Game 4, but he also threw some kudos in the direction of Roberto Luongo – who's been benched the last two games while his backup has been the coach's choice. Sedin said Luongo, the six-year starter, has..." April 20

Vancouver Province "The Vancouver Canucks may not have a White Knight on his way, but they do have a Swedish Art Ross winner. Daniel Sedin flew to Los Angeles on Monday and will skate with the team Tuesday. If, and this is a big if, all goes well, he could be in the lineup for Game 4 of the NHL playoffs, head..." April 17

Vancouver Sun "A few ears perked up Friday morning when — in answer to a question about star forward Daniel Sedin's progress or lack of same — Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault admitted he has never read the National Hockey League's concussion protocol. Then again, neither had I. So I called the..." April 14

Vancouver Province "This much we know: 1) Daniel Sedin has not suffered a setback. 2) The Vancouver Canucks are following a strict protocol when it comes to Sedin. At least we think we know this, because everyone who was quizzed about the health of D. Sedin on Tuesday eagerly supplied this information in a..." April 11

Vancouver Province "Ryan Kesler has played the point on the struggling power play and Andrew Ebbett even went to fantasy camp when he centred the second unit. Maybe Daniel Sedin can snap it all back to some sort of effective reality. The expected return of the concussed Vancouver Canucks winger for Game 1 of the..." April 10

Vancouver Province "Duncan Keith received a five-game suspension from the NHL for his elbow to the head of Canucks winger Daniel Sedin, which should allow him to be well rested for the playoffs when the workhorse Chicago Blackhawks former Norrs Trophy winning defenceman returns to the lineup with two regular season..." March 24

Vancouver Sun "Duncan Keith got five games. The Vancouver Canucks can only hope Daniel Sedin gets off that lucky. The National Hockey League handed Keith a five-game suspension in a ruling released late Friday afternoon by league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan. It is punishment for the vicious elbow the..." March 24

Chicago Tribune "Duncan Keith is going to get suspended for drilling Daniel Sedin. Oh, there is a slim chance that NHL Hanging Judge Brendan Shanahan will go easy on a first-time offender, but the more you see Keith deliver that elbow so perfectly and blatantly, there's no chance that Shanahan doesn't send the..." March 23

Vancouver Province "Amid the ashes of another demoralizing setback Wednesday, there were smoking embers and a spark of encouragement for the Vancouver Canucks, who have looked confused and even content in dropping four of their last five games. In an effort to ignite the first line by promoting the struggling..." March 16

Vancouver Province "After getting two days off to regroup after an embarrassing loss to Montreal on Saturday, Canucks players were greeted at practice on Tuesday by two revamped forward lines and a complete shuffle of the defence pairings. That's what happens when teams struggle, and the Canucks have lost three of..." March 14

Vancouver Province "There was a time recently the Sedins were the very definition of consistency. They didn't record many three- or four-point nights, but they both usually chipped in with a goal or two. Well, Daniel Sedin is now 2-1-3 over his last 10 games. Henrik is 0-2-2 over that same span and hasn't..." March 11

Vancouver Province "It's a good thing the Canucks have been spending more time on shootouts in practice recently. They've already been in 12 — which ties them for the league-high with New Jersey and is more than the nine they've averaged over the previous three seasons. The results, though, have been mixed...." February 17

Vancouver Province "Following Monday night's game against the Phoenix Coyotes — in which the Vancouver Canucks produced six shots on goal between the first and third periods — Daniel Sedin was asked if the NHL is being dragged slowly but surely back to the dead-puck era. He paused for a moment. Dead-puck era, he..." February 15

Vancouver Province "Like most NHL coaches who grew up in Canada and are working in the U.S., Mike Babcock enjoys the give-and-take with reporters when the Red Wings visit Canadian cities. After going through a workout with a Detroit trainer that would have left one of his players huffing and puffing, the..." February 02

Vancouver Province "With Roberto Luongo, you can understand a rather extreme view of how an athlete should deal with the media. "Just don't say anything," he quipped. If you don't get where he's coming from, you just haven't been paying attention. Sometimes he's been to blame, and some-times he hasn't, but..." January 20

Vancouver Sun "To win in the National Hockey League, countless coaches have said, your best players have to be your best players. And it doesn't hurt if they're better than the opposition's best players, too. Neither situation occurred Tuesday for the Vancouver Canucks, yet they still managed to beat the..." January 12

Vancouver Province "In a disappointing loss to an inferior team, it was a play that is bound to be enveloped and lost. In the second period, Cody Hodgson went headlong into a corner, came up with the puck. In a flash — and by peeking with a subtle tilt, not turning — he whirled it clean through the middle of the..." December 16

Vancouver Province "Here's how you know it's going well for the Vancouver Canucks. Henrik Sedin was making jokes about leading the league in hooking penalties. He has nine. For reference, Christian Ehrhoff led the NHL last year with 10. Head coach Alain Vigneault seemed bemused, too, though he did say he was..." December 13

Vancouver Province "Oilers enforcer Darcy Hordichuk remains a big supporter of the Vancouver Canucks. He was at Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final sitting in Mikael Samuelsson's seats. If they had won, he probably would have been with the team for some of the late night celebrations. The ties are still there, more..." October 17

Vancouver Province "The Canucks are not do-nothings willing to sit back and watch while their best players are abused. It only seems that way. There wasn't a noticeable physical response Monday after Marc Methot became the latest opponent to take liberties with the health and well being of a Sedin. In the..." October 12

Vancouver Province "hey've won over their peers, Swedish royalty, most fans in North America and back in their homeland, and the statisticians. They've yet to win a Stanley Cup and they hope to change that. What the twins aren't about to change is anything about the way they play. "We prepare the same as we..." October 04

Vancouver Sun "Upon further review, a whole summer of it, Daniel Sedin says he still wouldn't have punched back at Boston Bruins pest Brad Marchand during Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final. It was one of the endearing memories of the Canucks' bitter series defeat, the brash Bruin rookie repeatedly swatting the..." September 01

Vancouver Province "A self-described "great" summer, short but sweet with beautiful weather back in Sweden, hasn't taken away the pain for Daniel Sedin of falling one game short in last spring's Stanley Cup run. Of course it wouldn't – Sedin still feels the sting of Modo's best-of-five loss in the 1999 Le Mat..." September 01

Vancouver Province "They are Swedish twins, intelligent and are better together. But that's about where the similarities should end with the Sedins and the Westerholms. Pathrik Westerholm, a sixth-round Canucks draft pick and his brother, Ponthus, who was undrafted, are at the Canucks development camp for..." July 08

Vancouver Sun "No, Daniel Sedin did not vote for himself. But a lot of his National Hockey League colleagues did, selecting the Vancouver Canuck winger as winner of the Ted Lindsay Award at the annual NHL Awards ceremony Wednesday in Sin City. Sedin beat out fellow finalists Steven Stamkos of Tampa Bay and..." June 23

Vancouver Province "Daniel Sedin, as any Canuck fan can tell you, is one of the three finalists for the most coveted individual awards in the NHL. The Hart Trophy, which will be presented today at the league's annual award ceremony, is given to the player judged to be the most valuable to his team and its past..." June 22

Vancouver Province "They stood in the dressing room longer than any of the few other players made available following the gut-wrenching 4-0 loss to Boston on Wednesday in the seventh game of the Stanley Cup final. Henrik and Daniel Sedin were easy targets following a second shutout by Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas...." June 16

Vancouver Sun "They were still kids when they came to Vancouver, and we've seen Daniel and Henrik Sedin grow up and into world-class hockey players. They were poor as players Wednesday night, but outstanding as people. The tradeoff wasn't nearly enough to keep the Boston Bruins from rolling over the Vancouver..." June 16

Vancouver Sun "His team has managed to score just eight goals in six games, but Daniel Sedin has no doubts about the biggest game of his life on Wednesday night. "We're going to win Game 7," Daniel said emphatically after the Canucks dropped a 5-2 decision to the Boston Bruins in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup..." June 14

Vancouver Province "You really wonder what the Sedin twins have to do to earn some respect in this league. Do they have to carve somebody with their stick or run somebody over. Do they have to play like Brad Marchand before the abuse stops? One is a Hart Trophy winner, both have Art Ross trophies and Daniel is..." June 09

Vancouver Sun "Television analyst Mike Milbury referred Wednesday to Daniel and Henrik Sedin as Thelma and Louise. So, at least they're dangerous. The twins have just two points in four games in the Stanley Cup Final — both by Daniel — and Ryan Kesler has one assist. So Vancouver's three world-class..." June 09

Vancouver Sun "Moral victories are worthless in the Stanley Cup. Luckily, the Vancouver Canucks got the actual victory, too, so Daniel and Henrik Sedin could take some satisfaction Wednesday in their ability to generate scoring chances while playing against dominant defenceman Zdeno Chara. Which, for the..." June 02

Vancouver Province "In a moment of reflection, after the uproar of media day had dipped significantly, Henrik Sedin said: "This is how it should be." He was talking about the hundreds of media members and the thousands of questions. Some were splendid, others silly and a few assinine. He relished them all. That's..." June 01

Vancouver Province "He's big, he's imposing, he can hurt you and the Sedin twins can expect to see a lot of him in the Stanley Cup Final. Zdeno Chara, Boston's 6-foot-9, 255-pound ball of shock and awe is expected to get the shut-down duty along with partner Dennis Seidenberg against Daniel and Henrik and linemate..." May 29

Vancouver Province "It's a development that could surprise people even more than the fact Keith Ballard got a start. Henrik Sedin leads the NHL in postseason scoring. Daniel Sedin is second in goals. "It's pretty good for being the two worst playoff players in the league," Henrik quipped. Sure is. Maybe it's..." May 23

Vancouver Province "Patrick Marleau has five goals in four games. He'd be forgiven for a little boldness. He could get away with a couple "I told you so's," maybe even a dig or two, directed at his critics. Heck, with the ridicule he's absorbed, an all-out chest pounding on the Golden Gate Bridge isn't out of..." May 22

Vancouver Province "The Sedins got more opportunity in Game 1 against the Sharks and they've also carved themselves some emotional breathing room after taking some serious flak for firing blanks in the previous series with Nashville. Daniel and Henrik, along with linemate Alex Burrows were able to crank up some..." May 18

Yahoo! Sports "Fifty-six seconds left. Game 1 of the Western Conference final. In a bind, in a pressure situation, Alain Vigneault called time out. The Vancouver Canucks had been caught without a centerman on an icing call. That meant the coach couldn't put out a player experienced in taking faceoffs for a draw..." May 16

Vancouver Province "In winning their first two playoff series, the Vancouver Canucks demonstrated a number of qualities - resilience, resourcefulness and, against Nashville, a high tolerance for boredom – that weren't in great demand during the regular season. That's because, in addition to their many other..." May 16

Vancouver Province "That the San Jose Sharks must do something to contend with Ryan Kesler is obvious. The interesting spin-off is that it may result in more opportunity for the Sedins. Kesler played arguably the greatest playoff round in Canucks history against Nashville. After going pointless in the first..." May 15

Vancouver Province "The Stanley Cup playoffs are like a continent wide race and the westbound Vancouver Canucks have just arrived in Winnipeg in a V-8 firing on about four and one half cylinders and a guy wearing No. 17 pushing hard at the back. The good news is he isn't even breathing hard. There are three other..." May 10

Vancouver Sun "Vancouver Canuck left winger Daniel Sedin was a plus-30 during the NHL's regular season, which landed him in a tie for fifth best in the league, only three behind leader Zdeno Chara of Boston. That was then. Now Daniel finds himself a ghastly minus-7 in the playoffs, tied for second worst in..." May 09

Vancouver Province "Whether he really doesn't remember that playoff series in 2003 or if it has been blocked out as part of a trauma avoidance syndrome, Daniel Sedin doesn't want to dwell on the 2003 series with Minnesota. That was a season — like this one — where the Canucks were a favourite to win the Stanley..." May 08
