Chris’ Pick
I’m sticking with Vancouver here. Was it a bad loss to take against the Sharks if you’re Vancouver? Yes, but the Canucks are still the better team and are at home where they’ve done the majority of their damage this season. Anaheim just can’t seem to get out of their own way at this point, and I just think that this one is all Vancouver here in a bounce back. Give me the Canucks here.
