PENTICTON, B.C. — Kiefer Sherwood spent several nights last spring chasing Quinn Hughes around the ice and generally pestering the Vancouver Canucks.After signing with Vancouver in free agency, Sherwood is at training camp in Penticton, B.C., lining up against the players he frustrated in the first round of the playoffs last season.“I try to be hard to play against and try to hate the other team and play with that hate and that fire.
“It's definitely something that I had to learn and kind of ingrain in myself and train. I think the saying is adapt or die," Sherwood said."At the end of the day, you can light up the minors all you want, but you want to be here in this league." He also appeared in all six of the Predators post-season games and contributed a goal before the team was eliminated by the Canucks.
Playing against Sherwood in last spring's playoffs, Canucks captain Hughes learned that Sherwood's playing style means opponents need to always be aware of when the winger's on the ice.
