This is a tough one to call. The Kings are coming off a disastrous Alberta swing and the Canucks are playing some pretty sound back to basic defensive hockey. The kings are also experiencing the flu through their line up, not sure if they're headed home after this game, but It goes one of two ways I think:

1) Kings mail it in, Canucks win 4-1

2) Kings match Canucks renewed defensive commitment hockey in order to save face and get the game to OT where Canucks pull it out 2-1.

Thanks

I think it's time to put vey kass and bones together. And trade higgens i like the guy but bones is being wasted with dead weight on his line. burr looks good on the 4th with bo and hanson dorsi mathias and brad is a solid gritty 3rd line. I just dont see a spot for higgens once kass returns. in a perfect world id like to see him shipped to boston along with + for krug. What I hope doesn't happen but it prolly will is vey will be the odd man out once kass comes back. I love the job wd has done this year except that he tends to to keep things status quo to much. maybe being a 1st year coach he feels an obligation to the vets? same with our D Y not sit webber and give bobby a game or 2 to see what he can do. As far as the game kings are ripe for the picfking, 5-1 nucks dank and hank burr edler and bones with goals verbata 2 helpers edler with 3 points boho 2 assists. cheers

I have a feeling that today is going to be a slump breaker for some Canucks. Daniel Sedin had an abysmal year last year and as the shooter needs his confidence back. Bonino hasn't been scoring or been noticeable lately and I think tonight he'll play well as well.

Predicting a 4-2 Canucks win.

Don't know who'll score for the Kings

It seems the Canucks always come out strong in the 3rd and when they do they get the "W". If that happens tonight I think we will see a 3-2 win for the road team. It sucked not having a game on last night BTW....
