Abbotsford Canucks Talk | Part 2

[Lindgren]

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

I don't think that's a good sign for your son's NHL future. Should probably trade him now before his value tanks further.

I think the concern is with the amount of sugar you are letting your son cosune

Twas three mini donuts.

 

[Vector]

Almost halfway through the 2nd and I think Cicek has 30 minutes TOI.

 

[Vector]

Tolopilo with robbery. Pointshot rebound to the slot, wide open net, lunges across with the glove and deflects it out of play. Best chance of the period.

I do think my kid had donuts till she was like 5 or 6 lol

What a coincidence, he’s 5!

 

[The Stig]

Is there a way I can listen or watch? The link they posted in the pre game tweet leads to Calgarys SNET radio site for some dumb reason.

(We SERIOUSLY need a local radio feed.)

Bains with the PP goal. Identical to Raty’s 2nd. 6-2 now.

Goddammit I WANNA LISTEN TO THE GAME. The way this team is so much of an afterthought is annoying as hell.

Sasson with the steal and nifty backhand pass to Gatcomb who buries it for his 100th AHL goal.

7-2

My son was sitting on my lap for the whole period too.

YES THANK YOU. That has no reason to be that difficult to find.

Intermission update:

-my daughter got jealous and is now sitting on my lap; my son wants back on
-there’s a lady in front of us who’s garbage; vaping, throwing popcorn, and sweating. Part of a bigger group with hockey kids. I think someone talked to her after the first intermission because she’s quieted down
-Nick Cicek is being used as a #1 all situations defenseman and isn’t doing bad
-rink isn’t as full as it should be
-a small kid just tried to steal one of my kids’ foam fingers but my wife grabbed it

Number 2 is gross, number 5 is fist bump

Sounds like the spruce kings games in the early 90s at the coliseum

 

[Vector]

Henderson scored on a rush. Tolopilo hasn’t been great but other than the one huge save in the third, he hasn’t needed to be. 7-3

 

[THRILLHOIAF]

Me covering games: 7-3 lossess
Me taking the day off: 8-3 wins

Team just wants to be brutally critiqued whenever I'm on game recap duty, or something

 

[Vector]

Former Canuck Sheldon Rempel highsticks Matt Irwin in front of Tolopilo. Gatcomb scores on the ensuing power play. He has two this game. Assists to Stevens and Hirose.

8-3

 

[The Stig]

Powerplay is 5 for 5.

 

[Lindgren]

The Canucks weren't using their top unit on that powerplay. (The first clue was Zlodeev.)

 

[Vector]

Kids are tired and refused to sleep last night so we left with 4 minutes to go.

Ty Glover was the giveaway for me.

Raty does see the ice well. Needs better wheels and a little more fire in the engine room but he can be very smooth.
