1-0 Canucks on a point shot that might've deflected off someone. Kinda came out of nowhere.



Not much else really happening thus far.

 

[Hobocop]

Agozzino ties it on a breakaway! 1-1.

Nice feed from Gushchin.

Score is 1-1 after the first. Pretty low event period but I didn't like the SJ decisions with the puck in their own end for the last few minutes. Clean that up.

 

[Hobocop]

Huge save by Strauss Mann on the game's first power play (a Kniazev tripping call six minutes into the second) to keep it 1-1.

 

[Hobocop]

Abbotsford's Tristan Nielsen got behind the defense and gets tripped by Holway for a penalty shot, crashes into the boards.

He gets around Mann on the penalty shot attempt and then just awkwardly falls without getting a shot off. Then he immediately goes down the tunnel to the back.

Weird sequence. Still 1-1. Abbotsford's starting to get chances, though.

 

[Hobocop]

End of two. 1-1 still. Abbotsford got a 5-on-3 for a bit off a boarding penalty from Kaut that definitely caught me off guard, followed by Suess getting caught retaliating a post-whistle punch with one of his own. Penalties killed, though, and we're still tied.

Clips are few and far between tonight, so use your imagination.

 

[Hobocop]

2-1 Canucks. Agozzino with a really ill-advised slash at one of the Canucks post-whistle (the referees had separated them and were standing right there) and Canucks score on the PP.

Barracuda getting their first PP of the game now, though. They ought to quit the post-whistle stuff because Canucks are just selling it and getting easy power plays off it.



---

And Eklund scores on the ensuing PP! 2-2, we are tied once again. Criscuolo and Kaut with the assists.



--

The goals are coming fast- Suess now scores! 3-2 Cuda. All goals in this post were scored within two minutes.

 

[Hobocop]

And now Suess with a bomb on the power play for his second. 4-2 Cuda. This game turned around in a hurry.

 

[Karl Prime]

Nice to see Eklund get to the front of the net against a bigger guy, even if it is the PP.

 

[Hobocop]

Canucks get one back on a turnover, 4-3. This period is chaotic.



--

Sieloff went down to go after a rebound, and Abbotsford goalie Spencer Martin took exception and just started punching him with the blocker. That was so dirty. Barracuda power play.

 

[Hobocop]

We have a big ol scrum as time is expiring, which will nicely set up Monday's rematch.

Final score, 4-3, Cuda! Good result.



I can say this now that the game's over (the guy makes me nervous): Strauss Mann was great tonight. One of his best games.
