The speedy young gun -- recently departed of  very speedy Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks -- who's earned a spot on the Canucks top line with the Sedins, says the Canucks are "the fastest team I've ever played on."

There's a lot of "deceptively fast" skaters on the Canucks, says Shannon.

There also appears to be consensus that the twins look decidely faster this year.

Additionally, Markus Naslund is ready to put a few more in the net this year... yesterday he scored five goals in team power-play drills. This as an added indication to the green light offered by coach Vigneault for Naslund to shoot more and worrly less about defensive coverage. Hopefully this will translate to more goals.
