    Coach Joel Quenneville said it's tough to pinpoint when the animosity between the Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks began, but he is sure of one thing: ''[Playing the Canucks] in back-to-back years [in the playoffs], we know that it's only going to get to a different level.

    ''We'll have the attention of last year's playoff -- the rivalry was definitely created then. I anticipate that being in place. The same old, same old, fighting each other for six games, fighting for positioning, fighting for wins, [and] fighting for loose pucks creates that animosity towards one another. It grows, and all of a sudden you see them next year and it's there.''

    Each time we played in the regular season it got intense.
