Abbotsford Canucks Thread | Prospects Starting to Heat Up

[sting101]

Lekk now leads Abby in scoring in 14 unfinished games

DPetey 9pts in 22 games and +5 is starting to trend like a future NHLer on paper

Don't understand why Brisbois is in for Felton. Might as well go with prospects

I think the benching and sitting out of Klimo is situational. Malhotra likely went in after the second period and raised the roof about taking penalties last night. Then Klimo almost immediately goes out in the third and takes a bad penalty. To me, despite what I said about the next guy who takes a penalty and getting benched and sat out, this is IMO a little bit of overkill by Malhotra. Klimo had been dumped twice on his ass just prior to his high stick and, while the penalty was dumb, he was responding to what had happened to him.

Also much rather Klimo in than the more or less useless Twarynski.

Mueller has elevated his game playing bigger minutes.

Kind of funny the contrast of the Abbotsford Canucks and the Vancouver Canucks when it comes to shots. Shots are 12-27 Abby.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Big Pete really coming on now. He's finding another level.

 

[WTG]

Pettersson is the star of the weekend for me. He's playing fantastic.

The Ohlund/Edler hopes seem realistic suddenly

Woo with some brutal play in his end.

Kudry just had an excellent shift covering up for sloppy play in his end. I'm getting sold on this player. His reaction to situation is high level.

For sure IMO on the comments on Pettersson

 

[WTG]

I know that maybe Wolanin is the best option right now for #1PP but I would really like to see some of the younger defenseman play in that role and have the ability to grow into the role.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Nifty Aman and Nate finish.

 

[orcatown]

Aman is so good at this level. Smith finally scores all thanks to Aman

 

[WTG]

4-1 Smith from Aman and Kudryavstev

 

[WTG]

The Ohlund/Edler hopes seem realistic suddenly

That's a bit too horny of a projection for me. But he's really stepped up his game so far. I do wonder how he will develop. He has all the tools except for top end offensive skills.

I got to go, I won't be able to post more clips for tonight.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

I'm not going to be a happy camper if the Balderson's trade Pettersson for some immediate need.

McWard having another solid outing tonight.

 

[orcatown]

Silovs still sliding around in his crease too much. Needs his confidence back.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Here's Jonny (on the spot).

5-1 Abby

 

[ManVanFan]

Aman is so good at this level. Smith finally scores all thanks to Aman

Yeah he is.

Here's Jonny (on the spot).

5-1 Abby

So funny when the commentator says that. Now only if he could round out the rest of his game.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Bains just banked it in off Pettersson into the open net on a delayed penalty with Silovs on the bench.

 

[orcatown]

Pettersson best making that mistake in a game like this when you're ahead.

Kudry going a little Hughes like in the offensive end. Feeling his oats.

Sorry if I got the wrong player.

 

[ManVanFan]

I'm not going to be a happy camper if the Balderson's trade Pettersson for some immediate need.

McWard having another solid outing tonight.

McWard has a good first pass out of the zone. Find that he isn't willing to just throw it away.

10 goals in 14 AHL games as a rookie is crazy

As a passenger too, imagine after he gets stronger and faster. I guess that’s the only thing holding him back from the NHL

Very good weekend for prospects.

You wonder how far Pettersson is away and Kudryavstev is not far behind. Both need a full year in Abbotsford but development this year has been very good

Lekkermaki made a quantum leap this weekend in his play. To me, the biggest improvemant was his skating. Looked much smoother and was quick when he needed to be.

Have to hope this wasn't just a case of Colorado being so bad but still many younger players looked fully able to play well at this level.

Thought both Aman and Wolanin provided good vet presence - something that has been lacking this year.

Overall this team/organization looks much improved in terms of player development than it was in the idious years in Utica.
