Randy’s Free Pick

I don't want to lay juice with the Detroit Red Wings as much as the next guy, but the Canucks have been a mess over the last month, and they've looked even worse on the road. This is also a very early start, which usually favors the home team. The price isn't that steep. Give me the Detroit Red Wings for a game they can't afford to let slip away.
