Abbotsford Canucks Talk | Part 2

[GranvilleIsland]

PLAY PETTERSDON TOMORROW COWARDD

Something something practice, learn the system. Blah blah blah.

 

[alternate]

Next year Hirose is going to be one of the highest paid players in the ECHL.

[rypper]

Fellas, I don't think it's Tolopilo's night.

 

[rypper]

5-1 and it's Sawchenko's net.

 

[VanJack]

Haven't watched a minute of it, but from the looks of things, this might be the Abbotsford Canucks worst home games in the last couple of seasons.

They beat this Henderson team 6-0 last time out.....but tonight, it's just plain ugly.

 

[VanJack]

An ugly 7-3 loss on home ice against one of the worst teams in the Pacific Division. Not what the Abbotsford Canucks drew up for the stretch run.

Tolopilo was lifted in this game and I think Sawchenko finally got his first crease action of the season. Hard to find positives in this game, although McDonough cashed in two goals and was voted the third star. He's now up to nine on the season and having a nice second half.

Just about every d-man was at least a -2 in this game. So why not throw D-Petey in there. I mean, how much worse can it get?

 

[Vector]

I don’t see D-Petey in the opening warm-up. Ugh. Way to crush my dreams.

 

[Lindgren]

I don’t see D-Petey in the opening warm-up. Ugh. Way to crush my dreams.

What about what's-his-name, y'know, the NCAA guy that nobody's heard of?

 

[Vector]

We’re 1 minute in and Canucks are up 2-0 with goals by Karlsson and Raty.

 

[Lindgren]

What about what's-his-name, y'know, the NCAA guy that nobody's heard of?

To answer my own question, he's not in the line-up.

Karlsson scored 51 seconds in, and then Raty added another at the one minute mark. Interesting start.

Tolopilo has the net again.

 

[Vector]

And now it’s 3-0 with another Raty goal. This time on the PP.

 

[LemonSauceD]

And now it’s 3-0 with another Raty goal. This time on the PP.

I really like Raty’s puck skills. Nice JT Miller esque goal. from the top left circle.

Hirose with his first AHL point… good god almighty

 

[Vector]

To answer my own question, he's not in the line-up.

Karlsson scored 51 seconds in, and then Raty added another at the one minute mark. Interesting start.

Tolopilo has the net again.

First goal was a deflection from a Johansson point shot. Second was a 2 on 1 where Raty elected to shoot. Hadn’t even announced the 1st goal yet.

They also killed of a Silver Knight PP.

We’re not even 8 minutes into the game yet.

 

[Vector]

Just added a second assist to Raty’s first goal. Hirose picks up his first point.

 

[Vector]

Terrible offensive zone giveaway and Henderson scores. Didn’t catch who it was. 3-1

 

[Vector]

Knights getting pissy and taking penalties. Tic-tac-toe play to Nielsen and its 4-1. Karlsson and Raty with the assists.

Fights breaking out.

 

[Vector]

5-1 now. Dries with the powerplay goal on another cross crease free from Raty.

Raty has been the PP QB the same way Miller is.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Raty with his 4th point in the 1st

5-1 now. Dries with the powerplay goal on another cross crease free from Raty.

You should go to the games more often

Same thing just happened but now it’s 5-2.

 

[Vector]

Raty with his 4th point in the 1st

I’m limited to 4pm games on Sundays and usually distracted by my kids.

 

[Yultron]

Raty with 40 points !!! That’s what I like a major step forward in development this season especially with his late season surge in points . He still projects as a 3rd line NHL Centre and I’m ok with that !!

We win the Horvat trade

Horvat for Hronek and Raty is outstanding value

I don't know who is currently projecting Raty as a third line centre, but if that turns out to be the outcome, it will be a significant success. (He was pointless in his last seven games, which was rather discouraging.)

1st intermission update:

-my son is covered in sugar from mini-donuts
-Raty is a weird prospect. He has a bunch of NHL
traits but lacks the necessary motor to properly profile as a bottom-6 forward. He’s extremely cerebral and maybe that will allow him to carve out an NHL role as a low event player that gets PP2 time
