Henrik Sedin RUMORS & NEWS

Vancouver Province "Before setting off for the World Championships to play for Sweden — where that country hopes to be in the final it is hosting — Canucks captain Henrik Sedin stood up for Canucks coach Alain Vigneault at the end-of-season meet and greet with the media. And why wouldn’t he. After all, as the..." May 15

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 Province "The issue is a clear as the piece of protection that protects his eyes. Henrik Sedin saw what a deflected puck did to the left eye of teammate Manny Malhotra on March 16, 2011. It resulted in four procedures to reduce swelling and the pooling of blood. It has placed the face-off specialist on..." March 06

Vancouver Sun "It came on an assist, of course, one of those pinpoint cross-ice passes that Henrik Sedin makes look so darn easy. And when Alex Burrows drove the puck past Dallas goalie Richard Bachman, Rogers Arena went into party mode to celebrate the Vancouver Canuck captain's record-setting point. That..." February 16

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 "It was a hit that could have registered on the Richter Scale because it was looking like the biggest impact the Los Angeles Kings would make Sunday. When Dustin Brown rocked Henrik Sedin with a heavy forearm check to the shoulder in the second period, a blow that also caught his chin, it sent..." April 16

Vancouver Province "It was quite the weekend for the defending Western Conference champion Vancouver Canucks. Not only did they somehow manage to regain the lead in the Conference in their 79th game of this bizarrely successful season, they had a number of other things go wonderfully well, first and foremost the..." April 01

Vancouver Sun "Duncan Keith today called his five-game suspension for elbowing Daniel Sedin "fair." If the Vancouver Canucks felt otherwise, they weren't saying. "I have got nothing to say about that," Daniel's brother, Henrik, said following Vancouver's game-day skate in Denver, where the Canucks meet the..." March 25

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 "The Canucks weren't slumping, they were just waiting for Byron Bitz to arrive. The comeback player with the bruising game and compelling back story has suddenly become a playmaking difference-maker. Call it a stimulus package. And the Canucks have been waiting for one. Strikingly bulky..." February 10

Vancouver Sun "The Sedins may be split up again, but this time it could be a doctor's decision, not the coach's. The Vancouver Canucks have already been working overtime to get many of their recent wins, and now they may have to do it without their team captain and leading scorer. Henrik Sedin was wearing..." February 09

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 Sun "The Vancouver Canucks reach the midpoint of their 2011-12 NHL season tonight against the Minnesota Wild, sitting atop the Northwest Division and second in the Western Conference. Based on Tuesday's stats package, they had the league's No. 1 power play, were third in goal scoring average, third..." January 04

Vancouver Sun "Daniel and Henrik Sedin are close in everything they do for the Vancouver Canucks except ironman streaks. Henrik appeared in a franchise-tying 534th consecutive regular-season game Friday - pulling him even with current Calgary Flame Brendan Morrison - while Daniel played in his just fourth..." December 24

Vancouver Province "Henrik Sedin was vehement in his denial: He and his Swedish teammates did not lose a game with Slovakia at the 2006 Olympics in Turin purposely to get a more favourable path to the gold medal game. The Canucks captain was responding to reported comments by Swedish hockey icon Peter Forsberg..." December 19

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 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 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 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 "Almost as soon as the media questions began when Tim Thomas returned to Boston with two losses, the Bruins' goalie shut down the inquiry into his walkabout style. "I have a pretty good idea of how to play goalie," Thomas, the Vezina Trophy favourite, informed the keen observers in the press on..." June 07

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 Sun "With the title of team captain comes great responsibility. Not only is Henrik Sedin expected to lead the Vancouver Canucks on the ice, but he is the face of the franchise off it, the primary representative of the team to the public — never an easy chore, especially in a Canadian..." May 27

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 Sun "After nearly bursting the net with a pair of pucks perfectly teed up for him by Henrik Sedin, Vancouver Canucks defenceman Sami Salo humbly asserted Sunday it doesn't matter who plays the point on the power play as long as Sedin is on the ice to feather passes. Like all the great passers in any..." 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 Sun "Henrik Sedin has been so good for so long that he is held to a different standard than most players. For starters, he's not allowed to be hurt. The Canucks captain himself doesn't accept that kind of slackery. Sedin hasn't missed a National Hockey League game since the lockout. His red hair is..." 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 "It was only must-see TV for curiosity's sake. Henrik Sedin emerged from watching his Swedish countrymen defeat Germany at the world hockey championship Wednesday morning and had no trouble shifting his attention to the upcoming Western Conference final. And while the Vancouver Canucks are still..." May 12

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 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

Vancouver Province "The Vancouver Canucks say Henrik Sedin is not injured. Head coach Alain Vigneault said it on Wednesday. Linemate Alex Burrows repeated it. The ubiquitous sources close to the team say he's healthy. And Henrik could be seen walking without a limp. So take that for what it's worth. The..." May 05

Vancouver Sun "One is nursing an abdominal injury that occasionally gets reported as the flu, and the other has been labouring since the playoffs started and finally showed where it hurt Tuesday night. Mikael Samuelsson, demoted to the fourth line, and Henrik Sedin, immovable from the first, hobbled out onto..." May 04

Vancouver Province "Alex Burrows looked like he had a burr under his saddle. Mikael Samuelsson looked steamed. And Alain Vigneault was trying to play that line juggling art-of-deception card again. All this after one double-overtime playoff loss? You could call it panic, or simply label it planning. "I wouldn't..." May 03

Vancouver Sun "It wasn't so long ago that Daniel Sedin looked around at all the scoring depth in the Vancouver Canucks room and noted how much less pressure the twins felt going into games this season. "We don't feel we have to go out and be heroes every night," he said. Ah, the good old days. Two games..." May 03
