Nielsen is getting a damn NHL contract from someone and it better be us.

 

[alternate]

I like Faber. He’s one of like 40 people I follow on Twitter.

Sounds like there was a controversial icing call, I can’t see it because I’m just listening to radio

 

[48MPHSlapShot]

And it cost us a goal.. 2-2 now.

 

[48MPHSlapShot]

Crap!

 

[CalderSchmalder]

It’s Duehr die at this point, let’s go boys

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Argh.

Good fight against a tough opponent. Well done to all of them on a good season.

 

[48MPHSlapShot]

Sure didn't sound like the best of officiating. Really stinks not to keep going. This game could have gone the other way for sure. Same as the two games in Calgary. Damn...

 

[The Stig]

Tough way to go out. We weren't outplayed for one minute. Guys showed fight to the last whistle.

THAT ICING CALL WAS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF HORSESHIT IVE SEEN. All 4 refs were atrocious.

We took it to the best team in the league. 3-1 series doesn't tell even half the story.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I hope the Canucks reward Nielsen with an NHL deal. He really took a step this year.

 

[iceburg]

Disappointing that the tying goal should never have happened.

 

[VanJack]

Really nothing separating these two teams, other than goaltending and the PP. The PP basically killed the Canucks in this series. When the other team takes liberties out there with your best players, you have to make them pay with the odd-man.

A key lost faceoff on a bad icing call cost them the tying goal....and then three guys chasing the puck behind the net and leaving the slot wide open for the winner.

Colliton has pushed lot of the right buttons in this series, but gets a bit of the goat-horns for gong back to Martin in the crease after alternating goalies all season long.

Silovs was voted the Abbotsford Canucks MVP for the season....so unless there was an injury we weren't aware of he should have stated. Nothing against Martin who didn't play badly; but was clearly the second-best goalie on the ice in every game.

Canucks really missed Raty and Stevens down the middle.....they basically had only one line going all night.

As far as individuals, looks like the Canuck might have something in Sasson, who plays the game with pace; and Johansson wasn't bad, but looks like he might need at least a year in Abbotsford to adjust to the smaller rink. Hoglander was simply the best player on the ice for either team. And Bains played in just about every situation for the Baby Canucks.

All in all though, a great year for the Canucks AHL affiliate. Just about every player 23 and under improved dramatically. And really that's all you're looking for out of your AHL farm team.

And those fans in Abbotsford. Yikes! They're loud and proud and have really adopted this team.

No volume???????

 

[THRILLHOIAF]

Special thanks to our very own CanucksArmy rep @THRILLHOIAF . Keep up the great work!

Cheers Vector! Much appreciated !!!

Raty scratched or hurt?

According to Faber, Raty was MIA from practices this week -- Colliton also intimated that he was dealing with something. Not sure what.

Seems odd the coach is giving an elongated interview between the first and second periods.
Seems calm, cool, collected too. Don't see this too often.

Those interviews are all pre-recorded!

No volume???????

Well I’m very proud of this team.

Also @VanJack called the series over by game 2, so props to him I guess.
