This is a 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK on the Vancouver Canucks.
We don't subscribe to any one single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based on a few different factors:
Desperation breeds motivation: The Canucks haven't been eliminated from postseason contention yet despite having won only twice in their last ten games overall, including six straight in front of the home town crowd. Suffice it to say, it's going to be all hands on deck for the home side today as it looks to break the string of futility, it's first game of a five game home stand: "It's going to be huge for us to turn this around," said Canucks rookie Jake Virtanen last night. "We're obviously going to have to step up as a team and the younger guys are going to have to step up and the older guys are going to have to keep on playing hard."
Classic letdown spot: No need to overanalyze this angle, the Avs are coming off a hard-fought 3-2 win in Edmonton just last night.
Goaltenders a "wash": Neither team has an advantage in net, the Canucks goaltending has been atrocious during the slide, but note that despite a 1-5-2 record since January 19th, Vancouver starter Ryan Miler has posted a highly respectable 2.49 GAA in the process. Avs' goalie Semyon Varlamov has a 3.74 GAA over his last three vs. Vancouver.
The bottom line: The value is to good to turn down in this one when considering the strong factors listed above, play on the CANUCKS.
