The Sedins, who own several standard bred racehorses in Sweden and North America, will celebrate their 35th birthdays Saturday and have heard the chatter their time in the NHL is running out.

But all you have to do is look at the top 10 players in the scoring race from the 2014-15 season to discover they remain among the elite.

Daniel finished tied for eighth with 76 points (20 goals), slightly better than Henrik, who tied for 10th with 73 points (18 goals).

"I don't really listen to [naysayers]," Daniel said. "We showed last year that we can still play at a high level. For us, it's about staying in shape and staying healthy. If we can do that there is no reason why we can't play in this league a few more seasons."

The Sedins each played in all 82 regular-season games and six games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was their first time playing every game for the Canucks since 2010-11, which ended with a Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final.

"There were a lot of comments about us being finished before last season," said Henrik, the Canucks captain. "We showed we could still play by being in the top 10 in scoring. If we stay injury free and prepare the way you want to we will keep playing."

Health certainly played a big role in the Sedins' resurgence. But how much of it was playing for coach Willie Desjardins after one season under John Tortorella?
