Abbotsford Canucks | Season Starting

[orcatown]

Brisebois, far from perfect, is emerging as their best d-man.

Kambeitz might be the best forward up to this point.

 

[WTG]

This game being a massive (and cringy) Chevron ad isn't helping either.

This whole on ice segment is cringy. Poor girls....

 

[orcatown]

Sassons -nice move and puts it away. 1- 0 Nucks

 

[WTG]

Max Sasson finds himself behind the D and tucks it in 5 hole.

My stream is so bad I can't see the difference between Brisebois and Kudryavtsev

Sassons scores on the PP on a pass from Raty

 

[orcatown]

Neilson from Sassons and Raty on the PP.

Under review

Called off

 

[WTG]

No goal, would probably count in the NHL tbh

 

[cc]

No goal. Didn't look like much of a 'kick" but oh well

 

[orcatown]

Think it was a kick Neilsen just needed to let it hit his foot.

I don't watch many AHL games. Is this level of production and pageantry what I should expect? If it is I may find myself being selective in which games I catch.

 

[Blue and Green]

What a nothing player Hirose is.

Some are better than others. But it can get pretty bad. OHL production is like 2x as good as most AHL productions.

 

[orcatown]

Hirose takes another penalty and they score. Stevens totally passive on the PK. Both suck

That's rough. I used to catch Rockets games when I still lived in Kelowna and they were basic, but at least they didn't try to spice it up with a bunch of low-budget state-fair nonsense.

It's all over the place.

Some (mostly the California teams) have pretty good commentary and an awareness that Abbotsford fans will be listening. Some are terrible. The Colorado guys were literally talking about wanting to fight Jett Woo last year. The Tucson PBP guy - and I'm not joking here - will literally go 10 minutes of game time without mentioning the name of an Abbotsford player, and calls all the Tucson guys by their first names like he's their drinking buddy. Some camera positions are decent, some (Ontario) are just godawful.

The second guy doing commentary alongside the PBP guy sounds like he's half-cut and talking with his mouthful.

 

[WTG]

Pettersson with a great 4 on 4 shift.

 

[orcatown]

Actaully a good shift by Hirose but against a very tired Eagle team. Abby with a lot better period.

 

[GranvilleIsland]

The official word is that he's been dealing with an illness. Given some of the stuff going around these days and his already spare frame, I don't doubt they'll want him 110% before putting him over the boards.

Right just feels odd since the pre-season was so long ago. But nice to know he's not being benched to observe from a far which also would be strange to begin with. Hopefully the illness doesn't hurt his on ice performance early on.

I share that hope and would love it if the team could give an update on his status.

Agree. Likely on the bottle

 

[Lindgren]

Who started for Abby in OT?

There are literally no updates ever on injury statuses for Abbotsford players.

Guys will just disappear and you'll have no idea if they're injured or healthy scratched, and you'll only kind of realize they're injured when they miss their 8th game in a row. You'll only actually know a guy is injured if you watch him get carried off the ice in a previous game. I still don't think anyone has any idea if Klimovich was mostly injured or mostly healthy scratched last year.

The team doesn't care enough to provide fans the information, and nobody in the media cares enough to get it from them. It's really frustrating.

 

[WTG]

Showing the replay during live play is actual comedy behavior

 

[Tables of Stats]

The Eagle's goalie bit waaaay early on that goal.

 

[WTG]

The camera angle is so low the crowd actually blocks the entire view of the screen
