Sedins plan to come back with 'great year'

Daniel Sedin, via The Vancouver Sun, on the theory that age has caught up to the 33-year-old twins and that they'll never be the same.

“I think it's understandable,” Daniel said. “Where we are, in our market, it's understandable some people would think that. I never get upset anymore with what people say. For us, we're going to take full responsibility for what happened with our season and do everything we can to get back and be better.

“I think that's a strength of ours – to not blame anyone or anything, but just understand what happened and why and then come back and be better. We're going to come back and be really good players for a lot of years; that's the way I look at it.”

Also: "It's been a tough 2014. But if you want to come up with excuses and say you had injuries – whatever – you're not going to come back and have a good year. All you can do is blame yourself and look for stuff that makes you better and work even harder.

“I really believe we're going to come back and have a great year – a great four years. There's no question in my mind about that. We're going to work even harder to come back as better players and better people.”
