Vancouver Canucks claw out 5-4 comeback win over Edmonton Oilers in Game 1
The Vancouver Canucks have been talking about resilience for months.
On Wednesday, the team once again showed how the word has come to form part of its identity as Vancouver battled back from a three-goal deficit to edge the Edmonton Oilers 5-4 in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.
“The belief is always there,” said Canucks winger Dakota Joshua. “Just to know that you gotta keep playing to the end, anything can happen.”
Vancouver hasn’t always had the ability to stay composed and mount a dramatic comeback in pressure-packed situations, noted head coach Rick Tocchet.
