{allcanada} Daniel Sedin anxious to start season

VANCOUVER -- There were a lot of sleepless nights for Daniel Sedin this summer.

The Vancouver Canuck forward says it took him several weeks to get over his team losing Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup final to the Boston Bruins.

Sedin joined a couple of his teammates in skating at a Vancouver arena on Wednesday. He says twin brother Henrik will arrive in Vancouver Thursday.

Even though it was a short summer, Sedin says he's anxious to get the new season started.

Sedin says the Canucks can't take anything for granted and need to work hard during the regular season if they hope to return to the Stanley Cup final.

Sedin won the league scoring race last year with 41 goals and 104 points. He also won the Ted Lindsay Award for being the NHL's most outstanding player as voted by member of the players' association.
