It's the greatest two words in hockey and all of sports for that matter, Game 7! We are rolling with the Canucks. First off, this is a fantastic public fade. The names McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins, Kane and on and on and on lead you to believe the Oilers roll here and Vancouver has no shot to win this at home in Game 7 right? We think, however, Vancouver has a great shot to win as this series has alternated wins from the outset, with Vancouver winning Games 1, 3, and 5, and Edmonton winning 2, 4 and 6. Not that that really comes into the handicap here but just something to note if you believe in the zig-zag theory. Remember Vancouver was right up there in the NHL in scoring with Edmonton this season, they are both two top six offenses in the league, and Edmonton might be a little better on the power play, however Vancouver is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games against Edmonton, and that is including this series, so Vancouver really has had Edmonton's number the past few seasons in general, and we think Rick Tocchet has a fantastic game plan here to keep the Oilers at bay and get their chances an the other end. At the end of the day we do not think the Oilers should be favored by this much, therefore there is value on Vancouver, and we will take our shot, as we are laying no juice here.
