Abbotsford Canucks | Season Starting

[Vector]

I think Pettersson should stay in the AHL for the full season-- and I feel quite strongly about that. Puck skills and some of the quick defensive reactions/decisions necessary for NHL duty would be real problems for him right now. He's an okay second-pair AHL defenceman at this early stage, not a first-pair guy. A realistic progression would be to deserve call-ups next season and then hopefully stick in the NHL in the following season.

To be clear (I've said in another thread that I'd rather Pettersson than Juulsen), I'd prefer Pettersson stay in the AHL instead of pressed into NHL action or sitting in a press-box. I'm not opposed to him getting a game or two as the team has said they want to do with young players.

Henman beats Ty Glover on a rebound off the back boards as the kid faiuls to stop his first AHL shot on a difficult chance.

1-1

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Bains to the box after a good offensive push from the Canucks.

 

[Blue and Green]

Bains to the box after a good offensive push from the Canucks.

Silly penalty, a lone rusher surrounded by three guys, no reason to put the hook on him.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Pettersson with a nice soloi rush on the pk followed by a hip check on Nelson in the defensive zone.

Felton really coming on in the defensive zone play.

Shots are 7-1 Abby. Score is 1-1 with six minutes remaining in the first.

Pettersson continues to show promise.

Whether it's here or elsewhere, Felton should be a regular in an AHL lineup.

damn. 2 shots, 2 goals against. Ty Young not having such a good game

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Max McCormick beats Young again, glove side and with a backhander yet again as Young goes 0-2 on the Coachella shots on goal.

2-1 Firebirds against the run of play.

Breezer and Felton have the makings of a very solid pairing on D. Two minutes to go in the first.

 

[Blue and Green]

A lively bounce off of the end boards angled perfectly to a wide-open guy at the other side of the crease, and then a really nice shot by a guy walking in all alone.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Has Dino Kambeitz recovered from the beating his took at the hands of Montana Onyebuchi?

1st period ends with just 2 shots against for Abby. I think their previous record for shots for a period against was 3.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

2-1 at the break. A strong period from Abby despite the score.

He's taking warmups. The current fourth line of Stevens-Glover-Walker has been doing a good job this weekend.

Anytime you witness hockey history like this it's pretty neat.

And 19 year old Eduard Sale slings a wrister top shelf stick sife opn a bewildered looking Ty Young.

Three shots, three goals on Young. You can't really compete this way...

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

To be honest, I'm still surprised Young isn't back in PG this year.

Young with two saves in succession and Cooper Walker puts a rebound past Stezka on the counter.

3-2 Palm Springs.

 

[Blue and Green]

Fourth line continues to do a strong job. Weird game, Abby has controlled a lot of the play but CV has had more of the good scoring chances. Nice to see Young stop a couple of close-in chances before the second Abby goal.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Nate Smith bags his first goal as an Abby Canuck as he deflects a Chase Wouters point shot after a strong push from Abby.

3-3

 

[Lindgren]

Felton plays the right side. He looked good in camp and in exhibition. Why wasn't he in the Abby line-up from puck-drop on opening night, paired with a vet on the left side, getting all the support the organization has to offer from its various D-experts? Why sign the guy otherwise?

Maybe what we heard from Hughes re playing with Hronek was only the tip of the iceberg. Behind doors it was "Don't Cole McWard me again. No more NCAA free agent bullshit. Get that new guy Christian whatever out of my sight and don't let me see him again." Seems like the kind of thing QH would say.

 

[Scumbag Frank]

Abbotsford completely dominating, only tied cause Young let in his first 3 shots

Pettersson easily the best d-man on the team and obviously the most pro potential as well. He fell asleep on the 1st goal against leaving his man unmarked for an empty net tap in but other than that he looks REAL good.
No one else really jumping off the page

Btw are AHL streams always 360P? Looking like my Slingbox stream from 20 years ago

The steams are big time improved from what AHLtv had perviously offered. Of course it's something like three times the price to watch lol. The only issue I have had so far are some fairly persistent interruptions in the broadcasts.

BTW you can adjust the resolution in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Felton is signed as organizational depth. Like that centre from Germany a few years ago-- can't remember his name, Marc something-- signed at age 24 out of NCAA, too. Guys who don't turn pro until they're 24 are longshots to become NHLers.

Friedman, Woo and McWard were ahead of him and Kudryavtsev was taking quite a few shifts on the right side, too.

 

[Blue and Green]

Bottom-six forwards having a good game (second in a row for the fourth line). Top-six forwards, mostly not. Aman and Bains, 100 minutes and counting this weekend of doing little. We saw Good Klimovich last night but today we've been getting his alter ego; he sat out one shift after two lazy plays with the puck seconds apart in his own zone.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Nice sequence from Young in goal to start the period and a brouhaha ensues.
