{allcanada} SEDINS STILL WAITING FOR OFFICIAL CANCELLATION

Henrik Sedin told The Vancouver Sun he stays in touch with former teammate Markus Naslund via email but hasn't spoken to him since the summer. Naslund, of course, is now general manager of Modo, the Swedish Elite League team in their hometown of Ornskoldsvik. The twins have a standing invitation to join Modo.

"It's been at least a couple of weeks since the last time I emailed Markus," Henrik explained. "We're in the same spot as we were two months ago. We will wait until they cancel everything before we go."

The Canucks' captain chuckled when asked if he was having trouble keeping his chin up.

"It's not that," he replied. "It's just tough to come up with drills with only four guys. So it's one of those days where maybe you do a little more cardio off the ice and spend more time in the gym. Then you come on the ice and work on some skills. We'll be back skating with the UBC guys on Monday."

Henrik also admitted he was going to miss having Cory Schneider around for their on-ice sessions. The Canucks goaltender will make his first start for Ambri-Piotta on Saturday against Kloten.

"We're sad, for sure," he winked. "It was nice to have Cory here but that's the way it is."
