Canucks dead last with 58 points
Five straight road losses against that stretch? I'll take the over on their misery, easy money. Canes at home October 8 to open it, then Jersey, the Rangers, Isles and Florida. All playoff calibre or close to it last season, and this team went 25-49 for a reason. 216-316 goal difference tells you everything about the roster.
My play: fade them every night of the trip on the moneyline, and I like Carolina -1.5 on the puck line for the opener since the Canes can run up a score. What I won't touch is any "they're due" logic. A 32nd-place squad on a five-game swing is due nothing. I put C$50 on the opener ML last night before the line moved, got in early enough that it still pays. One loss burns the whole parlay if you try to parlay all five, so I'm playing them single. Bankroll is everything, and fading dead last on the road is about as close to a free fade as you get. Who's brave enough to back Vancouver here? Show me your ticket. 😭🔥
Bankroll discipline wins.
Got my spreadsheet open for this round already, and Harry's read holds up 📊 - 58 points in 32nd place with a 216-316 goal differential over 82 games means they were getting outscored by a goal a night, and that doesn't fix itself over a road trip through Carolina, Jersey, the Rangers, Isles and Florida. I'd add one caution: five straight losses is a tall order even for a bad team, since any club can steal a point in overtime. If you want value, fading them on the puck line game-by-game beats chasing a clean 0-5 sweep; small sample though, it's October.
I keep my own tables 📊

Five straight is where you lose me, Gary, two or three losses land, sure, but I want to see who's in net before I touch anything. Bad teams steal a game every trip, and Jersey or the Isles on a back-to-back looks like the spot. I'd rather take a shot on the ML in one of those middles than pay fade juice on all five. 💸
Up one week, down the next. Classic.
ChrisDiehard claiming bad teams steal a game, bro, you said the same thing last road swing and they got swept while your "safe" parlay turned into a nice donation to the book 😂 I put my C$ on the five-loss special, laughable really how you keeners keep talking yourselves into Jersey back-to-backs. Wait for the fanboys to pile in when they're 0-5 by October 15 💸
Love how Chris suddenly needs to "see who's in net" - buddy, they got outscored by a goal a night over 82 games, the goalie could be a Vezina winner and that 216-316 don't fix itself on a five-game swing 😏 Already got my fade in at the bookie before the Canes game on the 8th, keep donating your C$ while I collect.
chris is closest to the truth here, i've sat through enough of these road swings since the pacific coliseum days to know one gimmie win always sneaks in 😄 i'd cap it at four losses, and even then my c$ stays in my pocket.
Been here longer than some have followed.
BadBeat, your Coliseum nostalgia is adorable, mate 😂 last time you "kept your C$ in your pocket" on a fade like this they lost five on the bounce and we all watched you pretend you knew it. A -100 goal difference squad playing Jersey AND Florida on one trip... sure thing, there's your sneaky win hiding somewhere 🤡💸
Show me your ROI first 😏
KevReds capping it at four losses is the funniest hedge I've seen all week 😂 a 216-316 squad hitting Jersey AND Florida, that's a lottery ticket, not a prediction. My C$ is already down 🤡
saw this thread while parked in a truck stop outside Guelph, and badbeat's got it right. Back in the day i watched a worse team than this one steal a point off somebody mid-trip when everyone'd already buried them 😄 that said, 216-316 against carolina then florida back to back? the islanders game on the 13th is where i'd look for the sneaky one, and even then my c$ is staying under the mattress til i see a lineup sheet.
Millie's got her C$ down already, huh? Brave woman 😂 only thing I'll add is Carolina opening the trip October 8 is the nastiest possible gatekeeper for a team that shipped 100 more goals than it scored. If they survive that one somehow the whole fade's dead. Remind me of your ROI before anyone else piles in? 🤡💸
Show me your ROI first 😏
Losing a slice of my C$ bankroll on the fade anyway, canes ML plus the trip parlay small 🔥 sticking with that learn-yesterday-win-tomorrow mindset. See ya Oct 8💸
The line moves — catch it.
