Abbotsford Canucks | Season Starting

[Lindgren]

If Ty Young were to turn into an AHL average goalie, that would be a modestly good thing for the organization.

 

[Blue and Green]

Klimovich working his way into being an actual trade asset.

He reminds me in some ways of MacEwen when he was 21/22. Some differences, too, but that's the closest comparison from recent years. Raw, some head-scratching decisions at times, but also some ability and size.

 

[Blue and Green]

Bakersfield had been coming on in recent minutes and it finally paid off as ex-Abby guy Alex Kannok-Leipert just threw an easy shot toward the net from the blue line, maybe a bit of a screen but it seemed as though Young should've been able to track it. He whiffed with the glove and now it's 2-1. Five minutes to go in the second period.

 

[Blue and Green]

McWard threw a shot from the blue line, Klimovich appeared to re-direct it, puck went under the crossbar for a 3-1 lead. Right now they're showing it as McWard's goal but pretty sure that it will be changed to Klimovich.

Twarynski got a breakaway in the final minute of the period but hit iron for the second time today. 3-1 after two periods.

If Allvin can get us a top4 guy with Klim as the B prospect, he should get like GM of the year award.

What if it's Solid B Prospect Josh Bloom?

What if it's Solid B Prospect Josh Bloom?

Oh man totally forgot about him

 

[Bitz and Bites]

What if it's Solid B Prospect Josh Bloom?

He should be inducted straight into the Hall of Fame next summer if he pulls that off.

If anything, I’d suspect that Bloom would be a secondary piece in a deal like Jurmo was in the Lindholm trade.

 

[Blue and Green]

Aman forechecking forced a turnover just inside the Bakersfield blue line. Nielsen picked up the loose puck, made a cross-ice pass back to Aman who had a gaping net to shoot at from the right side but strangely he one-touched a pass to Twarynski in the middle of the slot who took the shot; goalie got a piece of it but not enough. 4-1 Abbotsford early in the 3rd period.

 

[Blue and Green]

Bakersfield cycles the puck along the left-wing boards, then a cross-ice pass connects as Wouters kind of lost track of the guy pinching in from the right point, Young can't get across fast enough and a high shot makes it 4-2, midway through the third.

 

[Blue and Green]

4-2 final. Great effort by that lineup. Young didn't look good on the first Bakersfield goal but otherwise was solid. Team played a very disciplined game in front of him.

 

[VanJack]

Just so happy for Klimovich......what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, Looks like he's come through some of the dark times and has emerged as a bonafide prospect once again.
