The Vancouver Sun notes new Canucks head coach John Tortorella suggested Henrik and Daniel Sedin will be asked to kill penalties, something they did very little of under Alain Vigneault.
"That's something we have asked for all along," Henrik said. "We did it for Crow (Marc Crawford) for a year, really enjoyed it, did it at the world championships back in Sweden. To be a great player in this league you have to be put in those spots and I think it is going to help us grow as players. I am looking forward to it, but again we are going to have to perform in those situations."
Henrik and his brother and a few of the other Canucks have some experience playing under a highly emotional coach like Tortorella. Crawford was known to do his share of screaming during his tenure with the Canucks.
"I think it's going to be really different for a lot of guys," Henrik said. "We were here when Crawford was here … but there are going to be a lot of guys where this is their second coach and the first one that is going to have this way of dealing with things. As a player you want honesty. I don't think it matters how it is put towards you, if you come in and yell and scream or you do it in other ways. If it makes sense, then I don't see it as a problem."
