Abbotsford Canucks | Season Starting

[Lindgren]

Playing Patera in back-to-backs is as dumb as playing Tolopilo in back-to-backs was a week or so ago.

This is the first time Kudryavtsev hasn't dressed.

 

[Blue and Green]

Lekkerimaki bombs one into the net on the PP for his third goal! Okay, actually he half-whiffed and it fooled the goalie like a knuckleball fools a hitter, but it counts the same.

[Knight53]

Lekkerimaki another one.

Special talent

 

[Blue and Green]

Next shift, Raty with a big hit to force a turnover, puck eventually comes to Lekkerimaki alone at the edge of the crease, 2-0.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Lek!

 

[Nuckles]

Lekk's 2nd of the night

Is that second one Lek's first ES goal? The floodgates are opening!

 

[Tables of Stats]

Lekkerimaki plays like how we wish Pettersson would, shots from everywhere.

 

[Blue and Green]

In all fairness to the poster, I think he said Lekkerimaki was probably the best AHL prospect in the last decade.

Grabner actually played two and half seasons in Manitoba from the 06-07 season, all the way through to the 08-09 season. I doubt Lekkerimaki will ever play in the AHL that long.

Yeah, last decade only plus I was just talking about forwards, although I could've said skaters and it would've applied the same. Demko, obviously, was a strong prospect.

 

[lawrence]

the cross slapper. Ovies "office" on the powerplay. Really wish Petey can start doing that again on our powerplays.

The Gulls goalie will want 2 of the 3 goals against back.

Another PP and a good chance for Lekk to notch a hatty.

 

[Jay26]

AHL com saying Pettersson's assist on Sasson's goal is his 1st. For some reason I thought he already had a couple this season.

 

[Knight53]

D-petey draws a penalty

check again, I'm seeing it saying it's his third.

Aaand, yep there it is.

 

[Blue and Green]

Sasson put home a rebound to make it 3-0. Kambeitz loses the puck at the blue line, Brisebois had broken his stick and couldn't defend, and a San Diego player undefended at the edge of the crease basically carbon copies Lekkerimaki's second goal. 3-1 midway through the 2nd period.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

I hope Tocchet doesn’t coach the offense out of Lekk

 

[Blue and Green]

Still 3-1 after two periods. Defencemen were strong for the first 30 minutes but a little shaky since, with San Diego really pushing and taking over the play. McWard got walked, Ahac got walked, a failed pinch by Woo led to a San Diego breakaway. Team did a pretty good job killing two San Diego PP's.

Clearly they miss Kudryavtsev.

Clearly they miss Kudryavtsev.

He's certainly better than Ahac. Not sure why he's out of the lineup but there are a few guys who have disappeared this week without any sign of injury (Phil D, Klimovich, now Kudryavtsev) so perhaps there's a bug making the rounds.

It was reported PDG got injured in the 2nd game but there’s been no information since.

 

[Chaos Giraffe]

Yep.

Just bomb shots at the goalie. Petey needs to stop trying to make perfect shots and just rip shots at the net. If the defence want to get in the way, let them, and then go retrieve the puck and slap it at them again.
