How can San Jose get excited about this game? They can't and it could allow for a letdown. Edmonton has lost eight of nine games so how can they possibly win here? This team isn't as bad as that nine game stretch would indicate, and I think they get fired up about a poor performance last game and come out strong here. If they bring their "A" game and Edmonton decides to take a little rest tonight, the seemingly impossible could happen. Edmonton is seeking revenge here and this team is 17-15 on the road the past three seasons when looking for same-season revenge. They are also 41-15 in their last 56 games when coming off a close 1-goal loss to a division rival. In all games he has coached, Pat Quinn is 8-5 as a road underdog of +200 to +300. I am taking a flyer on a big upset here.
