Vancouver was by far the NHL's worst team last season, with a paltry 58 points. Since then, the club's blue-and-yellow legends Henrik and Daniel Sedin have taken over the main responsibility for hockey operations - and they got off to a good start this season with an unexpected victory over the predicted top team, Edmonton.
This means that we feel that we can compete with good teams, Henrik Sedin told Expressen.
Vancouver led 5-2 after goals by Swedes Jonathan Lekkerimäki and Elias Pettersson. Edmonton fought back late to make it 5-5, but in overtime Paul Cotter won it for Vancouver with his second goal of the night.
