Total Takedown: Oilers at Canucks

Team Totals. It is a simple bet, one with historical data to leverage and an easy rooting interest to understand. Here, Cal TT will take you through the game of the day using wit, readily available information, and vibes. I cannot stress this enough. Data and vibes are the backbone of a team total pick.

Strike five separate times between the person's shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Give five abdominal thrusts... Theegala played his worst round of the major, and the team total moves to a disappointing 8-4. Disappointing because there were two great game sevens, including our Pacers who we can't seem to miss on. Trust tree? Team total reflections will always be honest and straightforward. I wanted to diversify the portfolio, prove I could win anywhere anytime, and I was watching golf when I wrote it. In short, I got cute, and it got ugly. Which is a shame because we are running out of hoops, which feels the best to handicap. Can we get hot on the ice tonight? I don't see why not, so let's head to Vancouver and game seven: Oilers vs. Canucks.

Sweetest words in sports: Game Seven. Vancouver remains without their starting goalie, and Vezina finalist Demko is still out and has been for the series. AHL call-up Silovs remains in net, where he has been good enough to support three wins but far from consistent, letting up an average of 3.3 goals, shutting out Nashville in game six, then letting up 5 against Edmonton in their game six just two days ago.

Meanwhile, the Oilers are averaging 3.9 goals in the postseason. In 6 of their 10 games, they have scored 4 or more goals. They are on the road, and it is a game seven; these things usually factor into lower scoring. However, a game seven counter could and would also be the likelihood of an empty-netter should the Oilers be up in the third and the overall desperation of a trip to the Western Conference Finals on the line.I am going to take Connor McDavid and the Oilers to get 4 goals tonight at plus money.

The Pick: Oilers Team Total Over 3.5 Goals (+115)
The Record: 8-4
