VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- The Chicago Blackhawks got back into their first-round series against the Vancouver Canucks with a blowout victory in Game 4.
The defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks' chances of continuing the comeback in Game 5 in Vancouver on Thursday night, and going on to become just the fourth team in NHL history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit might depend on whether they got back inside the Canucks' heads as well.
"There's still really no pressure on us," Chicago forward Patrick Kane said before the team flew to Vancouver on Wednesday. "They're the ones in the position where the pressure's on them."
Vancouver players were downplaying that pressure. They said all the right things about still being up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, a lead they would have happily taken going into the Western Conference series.
"Who thought we would win every game? No one," Mikael Samuelsson said after an afternoon practice. "match important to win the series. I don't care if it's in seven games or five."
