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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
Isn't he finally turning into the dream bottom 6 pwr forward with size and speed that can rip pucks?
He makes Daniel Sprong look like Guy Carbonneau off the puck.

said before that Klimovich should probably start being judged when he plays his 20yr old season like most do in the AHL. Problem was he got injured and never got right last year
New coach new year new opportunity. Still a young guy with some high end tools (mostly shot) nice to see him becoming noteworthy

Nice to see Klimovich bouncing back. And congratulations to Ty Young on his first AHL win.

Kudryavtsev was noticeably good today. All five of his blue line compatriots were solid and his game took a backseat to none of them. I've had the sense that I like him a little more than the organization does. Wasn't a fan of him being scratched three times in five games; we'll see what happens going forward.

I feel like the reports on Kudryatsev have been almost unanimously positive, making him taking turns riding the pine because of the logjam of bodies all the more frustrating.

I appreciate you finding a comparable that those of a certain vintage can understand.

I thought Kudry was going back to SSMarie so the whole fact he jumped to the AHL with the log jamb we have at LD (AHL) has been a positive for me. Dont mind some time to adjust and train and practice to get up to speed either but it can't be happening most the year
If Kudryavtsev keeps progressing like this throughout the long AHL season, he'll be a legit top-pairing guy in Abbotsford by March.
Pretty exciting for a 20-year old kid who was likely ticketed for another season in the OHL. He looks a little short out there at times; but checking his stats on Hockey DB, he's listed at 5'11" and 205. So he's pretty stocky and doesn't look like he's having too much trouble handling all the heavy hitting from a lot older players.
Looking like a nice 'find' by the Canucks
