VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - The Vancouver Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks have plenty of recent rich history in their rivalry.
The past three seasons alone have included everything from hair pulling to body slams, name calling to calling out. Most important to any good NHL rivalry, the past two years it ended with Chicago knocking the Canucks out of the playoffs.
With a history like that, you'd think it would be easy to get players talking about each other before their first-round series kicks off Wednesday in Vancouver. Think again.
