Anaheim Ducks vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction
I’m backing the Anaheim Ducks in this game. It may sound crazy when you think about it, but these two teams have the same overall win-loss record, and given where these two teams were as recently as last year, it just speaks to how frustrating it’s been to back Vancouver and the potential value that the Ducks hold going forward. I think this Ducks team has real aspirations about making a playoff run, and I think that the thoughts are justified as the Ducks keep finding ways to get it done. I’m just not sold on Vancouver in any way, shape or form, so give me Anaheim and the hefty plus money here.
