The Edmonton Oilers are probably the more talented team and should eventually turn things around, but they’re pilling up the losses left and right, and it’s pretty nuts to consider laying juice with them on the road. The Vancouver Canucks have their issues as well, but they’ve played their best hockey at home. In a battle between two teams riding the struggle bus, I’ll take my chances with the plus money and the home team.
