Vancouver at Buffalo

[powerz]

Not quite sure how to lay this on right now, but .....

Vancouver has already had a successful swing through the east coast

Beating, NYR IN OT, Isles 4-0 & bruins 3-1 - they stubbed their toes on B2b vs NJ devils and their old goalies Schneider
Upon leaving the sports talk guys here in VCR were saying a successful road trip would be 5-6 points given the Up and down nature of the play of the Canucks and the injuries.

The team keeps showing some backbone - HC Desjardins is an emotional style coach and he has these guys believing, but Buffalo may prove to be a mental block here. All teams play to their competition level, but the Nucks don't want to take the Sabres to lightly look at their last 5 games

02/24/15	@CLB	W 4 - 2	W 193	O 5
02/22/15	NAS	L 1 - 2 (SO)	L 205	U 5
02/20/15	NYR	L 1 - 3	L 209	U 5.5
02/19/15	@PHI	W 3 - 2 (SO)	W 205	U 5.5
02/17/15	@NJ	L 1 - 2 (SO)	L 205	U 5

I would have to say this a classic let down spot and the one element of a return home from Ryan Miller is now gone from the game for 4-6 weeks as he is out with a knee injury.

The Sedins have been Hot
Zach Kassian and ex - Buffalo sabre has been hot
Eddie Lack has been Great since taking over for Miller Allowing 1 goal on 68 shots since stepping for Miller.

This has 3-2, 2-1 feel to it....gl powerz

the only loss on this trip was when they played back-to-back games. Considering how long this trip was, I am surprised there was only one back to back.

Canucks 6-3

 

[undisputed]

Girgensons & Ennis (top 2 goal scorers) both out due to injury caused in last game. That's 2/3 of their top line.

Stafford, Myers, Enroth traded recently.

Buffalo is left with 1 guy that has 10 goals, 2 that have 9, and it drops to 6 from there.

Canucks are the #1 road team in the league, Buffalo 3rd worst home team in the league.

I made my biggest wager of the year on the Canucks ML.

Im all about being aware of let down games and such, but Buffalo has no shot here. I totally agree with you.

Thanks for the input guys, just going with U5 2* - no scoring in buffalo Lack's recent body of work and thinking the canucks lay an egg.

GL everyone

Powerz you were absolutely correct and I should have listened. I sat there and said I'm fully aware of let down spots, but ignored the biggest momey makers in gambling.....when there appears there is no way a team can win is when you take them.

Shame powerz leaned away from his winner
