This is a 5* BIG-CHALK PUCK-LINE CHOKE-OUT on the Vancouver Canucks.
REASONING: We base our picks on many different things, but we're a "situationally based" handicapping service at heart. Vancouver is on a horrible stretch, it's lost seven straight and has been shutout four times in that span, including a 3-0 setback at Montreal, before a 1-0 loss in Ottawa on Thursday (we had the Sens in that one). The Canucks have issues for sure, but they aren't as bad as the last week and a half has proven to be. And here's the perfect opponent to get untracked against as the young Toronto Leafs are in a perfect spot for a letdown after a satisfying 2-1 win at Buffalo on Thursday, their first road victory of the year. The good thing for Vancouver, is that the team clearly isn't panicking: "Right now we're getting in front of the net, we're getting to those rebounds but we can't find a way to score," Canucks left winger Daniel Sedin assessed last night. "But we have to stay positive. Usually when you go through these stretches you're not playing very well but we are playing well and creating enough chances to score some goals and that's the frustrating part. I feel we could have won a few of those games." Vancouver is desperate and Toronto is complacent. We're laying the price for the extra goal and a half of insurance, play on the CANUCKS on the PUCK-LINE.
