I feel like we may be able to surprise them if we match up against them. Our last 3 games of the season against them showed we can. Plus maybe take em down while they are sleepy from the bye week…I got a dodgy feeling about Colorado if we face them. No reason really just feel like if we face Calgary and beat them it will really galvanize this team.

Thanks for the info. I like the valley a lot, so happy to have our farm team out there. My father lives in Fort Langley so I get down there a couple times a year. Free place to stay at least! Also gonna be going to Penticton for young stars if I can get time off. The rink is awesome there too.

That crowd looked awesome! If they get deeper than second round I think i’m gonna try and come south for a game! But it’s a 15 hr drive for me so it’s gotta be worth it lol. Cheers to you and all the fans who kept the barn bumping last night! Canucks playoffs hockey! I love it.

Shook off the jitters and owned the last 2 periods.

Convincing win!

Sasson EN goal anyone??

Bone Bomb!! Top cheezzzz

Need more of that from him. Rough start to the game. Maybe nerves? He’s looked better as the game goes. Bains, wow, so noticeable. He is my vote for most improved player of the year. We got something here I think.

Super solid. He definitely is intimidating out there. Love the snarl

He’s gotta be 6’2” 195, he looks big and solid out there. He’s a bull on the puck

Damn Condors. I was so excited for last year’s playoffs and we flop a donut on the Condors and get swept. I really don’t like the 3 game series, i’d be ok with 5 game series till the calder finals. I think they did this to cut down on bus travel for western teams since they are so spread out. We did the same thing last year…sent all our call ups back to the ahl and flooded the roster. The coaching staff decided to throw all the top players together and it was terrible. No chemistry. The team had been winning without these guys for over a month. Hopefully Colliton can find the right blend of guys right off the hop and make a good run at the calder. All these years watching our teams AHL affiliate clubs…Moose, Wolves, Comets, Canucks we have made it to the calder finals only twice. Once with Corey Scnieder and once with Markstrom…was awesome to watch. Would love to see a calder cup win one of these days!

I have been impressed by him so far. He is very agile out there. I didn’t think this was the player we were getting. I was thinking two way guy, safe player. North south etc. But he is speedy/kinda crafty and can play east/west quite well it seems. There is some offensive upside to him. Imo Coaching staff obviously picked up on it right away and started giving him top line minutes. He hasn’t looked out of place at all. I’d say even snake bitten his first few games. Glad to see him notch a couple points before season was over, he was due.

Well said Alf. Thought the same things last night and through the entire season of Kuz. I think he is definitely worth his defensive warts. But I don’t think there is harm in benching him when he is having a bad game. Kuz understands, he had his head down in frustration, shaking it constantly, he knew he had a bad game. But coach Toc giving him a bone in shoot out shows him the respect he has for his abilities. Good move I think. Kuz understands where he needs to be better and I think a full off season to get ready for next one will really benefit a guy like him. He’s super motivated, he see’s Peteys commitment to defence, he gets it. I really hope he comes back next season and blows a hole through the roof of Rogers. I mean he come in, first year, doesn’t know English, doesn’t know NHL routine, etc…and has this kind of season. Next year he will be prepared and I think that’s super exciting. Looking forward to it. Him, Petey, and Hughes were fun to watch all year.

Well the kid was strong on Mango, wouldn’t budge lol. We named honey so he got to name the second. I agree, very missed opportunity

Kinda the same really. I always had bigger dogs. My wife fell in love with one, then we got two…it’s ridiculous how much I like them really lol. Cheers

Nope french bull dogs

Honey and Mango, team danger, at your service…lol

My work site security officers…they mean business!! Don’t mess with em or they’ll chew yer ankles off

No neither do I. It’s been great to see all the kids in the line up finally. The Utica years were spent loaded full of AHL vets and ECHL call ups. Still good hockey to watch but didn’t move the needle much in getting satisfaction from watch home grown talent get better and better then finally make the big club. It’s not like we didn’t have young guys in Utica we just did not have the coaching staff to get them geared up for the next level. Utica has so many misses when it comes to young guys not panning out…oh well good to see times changing in Abbotsford!

Could get a chance to scope him out in the AHL tho, get a good idea of what we have. Maybe Abby can make something out of him…The young kids Colliton has been moulding and excelling are kinda shocking me. Nielsen, Wouters, Bains, Woo finally looking good. All these young guys who I watched Cull try and mould year after year but never seem to crack the NHL line up…and now this year all these guys are coming up looking like pros? I liked Cull and he always kept the farm team competitive and was never given much roster wise…but the leaps and bounds this year from young guys on the farm is pretty astonishing…long rambling story short, there could be a good chance Bloom could pan out into a bottom line forward. I haven’t been on here for a bit Stawns, has it been asked if Bloom is eligible to play in this years AHL playoffs?

Your mind is always in the gutter

Found this nice write up of Vinny on the Abby home website. Great read. Love this guy. https://abbotsford.canucks.com/news/behind-the-bench-the-defender-of-arseneau-s-house haha I just about beat Vintage! Lol so quick! Sorry all dbl post.

Thanks, i'll look those up. I also love Where the Buffalo Roam movie with Bill Murray, also hilarious. My dad showed me that one.

Did not know this! At least we can get him over after that. I like drafting players that can come over and play in our teams system right away. Like what we did with Klimovich.

He's the guy I really want. You can bring him over right away I think from the league he's playing in. Draft him and get him on Abbys roster and take if from there. I think RD is our biggest need prospect wise. Obviously if we end up with a top 3 pick you take the best guy available but if not Reinbacher is who I would target.
