JML should enjoy this pick:
Canucks @ +102 x 4 units
Big game for the canucks, and its odd to say that so early into the season but it is and the canucks have rarely disappointed in these spots over the last year . To play as badly as they have on this roadie and come back 2-2 would be a huge lift to this team. Luongo has really picked up his play and I don't expect any less out of him tonight. The team will finally have its big 6 dmen in the line up at one time. Salos injury really upset the balance on this defense as it forced Krajicek/Miller/Weaver to split time with Ohlund. Miller doesn't match up well against top pairings anymore and weavers a fill in leaving Krajicek as the best of the options and he was solid but coverage isn't his strength. It affected us against deep squads like SJ and as well as on the pk, if one of the top 3 dmen were in the box we were in tough with a second pairing which overspent the remaining 2 dmen keeping them on the ice far too long on a pk. We'll have 2 d pairings that can line up against Ovechkin tonight so the last change shouldn't be a big problem. We already hold a special teams edge as our pp and pk are both better than the caps special teams to start the season, and as I said I believe our pk will be that much better going forth. Much is being made of the Sedins play and Nazzys play over the last week against a team thats strength isn't its defensive coverage I am expecting these 2 lines to put on a lot of pressure. The canucks feasted on the east last year and the teams said this games important, the combo of the better team and a strong effort usually means good things.
Nothing else interests me today. GL all.
