This is a 6* BIG-CHALK DESTRUCTION on the Vancouver Canucks.

Some times I believe that it's completely necessary to look at a contest from every angle possible, situational and motivational reasons, also scouring the internet for lopsided trends or numbers to take advantage of, and in other instances I feel that a more "common sense" approach is the best way to approach a contest, and that's definitely the case here as I look for Vancouver to build off a hard fought 3-2 OT win over Calgary on Saturday, while also avenging a loss to the Coyotes earlier in the season: "It gives the boys a little confidence," goaltender Ryan Miller assessed last night. "We were doing a lot right within this streak and we got rewarded with some bounces tonight." This is simply a tough spot for Arizona which is making the second stop on a three-game road trip, with another contest in Edmonton tomorrow night. Last months setback was the first loss in Millers career vs. the Coyotes, dropping him to a still spectacular 7-1-0 with a 1.73 GAA vs. them lifetime. The only question in my mind is, will Vancouver come in focused, or will it get caught looking past the lowly desert dogs? And a quick look at the Canucks schedule reveals the answer, with their next game not until Sunday at home, there's no reason at all for a hungry Vancouver team to do anything but take care of business tonight; lay the price with confidence on the CANUCKS.
