This is a 10* NON-CONF GAME OF THE YEAR on the Vancouver Canucks.
For a number of different strong situational and trend basesd reasons, I like the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night and in my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value." Vancouver lost three straight to end a seven-game road trip, but is back home and rested and I think comes in focused on the task at hand. And to say this is a "revenge" game for the Canucks would be a bit of an understatement I think as Vancouver has lost five straight in the series: "We're definitely excited," goaltender Ryan Miller assessed last night. "A lot of guys are ready to get home. After 14 days, it's just time. We'll regroup." New York has been off even longer than Vancouver, most recently avoiding a third straight loss with a 4-3 OT win over Pittsburgh on Monday. Note, this sets up as a "look ahead" spot for the Rangers though who are in Edmonton tomorrow night and then also a tough game in Calgary before closing with a contest in Carolina on Dcember 20th; the road has not been kind to New York of late which is 1-4-1 in it last six away from friendly confines and just 3-5-1 on the road overall this year. And note that Rangers' goaltender Henrik Lundqvist has been particularly poor of late in posting a ballooned 3.48 GAA in his last four games. Note that New York is a poor 1-7 (-8.4 units) this year after scoring 4 goals or more in its previous contest, while Vancouver is 6-2 (+4.4 units) after a loss by 2 goals or more in its previous contest. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to the CANUCKS as the savvy move here.
