Canucks vs Ducks Prediction
The Canucks remain a team you should be blindly fading, as they’re not good at either end of the ice and the losses continue to pile up. No team has lost NHL bettors more money this season than the Canucks. The Ducks are inconsistent in their own right, but they have four road wins and an aggressive offense that’s ninth in goals per game and second in power play percentage.
There are levels to the suck, and it doesn’t get any worse than the Canucks. The price is more than reasonable. I’ll continue to bet against the Canucks. Give me the Ducks.
