late in the 1981–82 season the vancouver canucks played a game against the quebec nordiques in quebec city. during the game canucks' enforcer, tiger williams was punched by a fan. in response canucks' head coach harry neale went into the crowd to "get the fan" and a few players followed suit. for his actions nhl president john ziegler suspended neale for eight games. neale's suspension began with four games remaining in the season and assistant coach roger neilson took over the head coaching duties for neale. vancouver finished the year with a 30–33–17 record, second in the smythe division and qualified them for the playoffs. neale's suspension then carried over for the first four games. despite the losing record the canucks finished the year with an eight-game unbeaten streak, which continued into their first round match-up with the calgary flames. vancouver swept the flames in three straight games advancing to the second round where they faced the los angeles kings. with canucks' general manager jake milford retiring and neale set to replace him, neale told milford to keep neilson as head coach for the remainder of the playoffs, believing the team had bonded under his guidance. with neilson remaining as head coach, the canucks eliminated the kings in five games and advanced to the campbell conference finals against the chicago blackhawks.
