This is a 10* UNDERDOG SUPER PLAY on the Vancouver Canucks.

We feel the table is finally set for a Montreal letdown tonight, the Canucks have lost four straight and also play with revenge after the Habs beat them 3-1 back on December 9th in the team's last meeting. So far the Canadiens have been unstoppable, dominating in every single facet of the game, but there's no question that this sets up as a classic letdown spot for the team which hasn't played since Saturday and which opens the start of a tough three-game Western road swing, with outings at Edmonton and Calgary back-to-back starting on Thursday night. And for the desperate Canucks, tonight's contest takes on added importance as its the finale of a five-game homestand before the team hits the road for a couple of tough ones vs. Dallas and Arizona respectively. Desperation breeds motivation and success leads to complacency, great value indeed on VANCOUVER in this matchup.
