Game Preview
The Vancouver Canucks won the Pacific Division by five points over the Edmonton Oilers and swept the regular-season series. Yet when they kick off their Western Conference semifinal series Wednesday in Vancouver, the Canucks are the underdogs.
“I love being doubted,” said Vancouver coach Rick Tocchet, whose team beat the Nashville Predators in six games in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. “At the start of the year, if you asked, ‘Is Vancouver going to make the playoffs?’ A lot of people said no or a bubble team. So, we were underdogs there. As the season went on, when are they going to fall? Now, same thing. … I just think we kind of like that underdog role and I think players should embrace it.”
The longtime division rivals — whose battles date all the way back the 1979-80 season when the Oilers joined the NHL from the World Hockey Association — are meeting in the playoffs for only the third time and first since 1992, ancient history.
