Vancouver Canucks vs Edmonton Oilers PredictionI’m on the Canucks. I have been all series just because it’s a value thing. The Canucks have been underdogs the entire way in this series, and you’re up blindly backing them, as neither team has won back-to-back games in this series. The Oilers have been far more effective at home this season and in this series, and I think home ice proves to be the difference here. Give me the Canucks. |
