He's kind of become the rugged good skating physical defenseman this year that was advertised when we drafted him. He isn't really offensively inclined but he has a pretty decent skill set. He skates and covers pretty well in the defensive zone and he's pretty tough in front of the net. I'm talking about this year's edition of Woo here, he has changed.

He gets the bump when Schenn gets moved (for a 1st)

An injury/call up depleted Abby lineup tonight in San Diego. Justin Dowling was a a last minute scratch (call up?) and there is no Raty.

Former Canucks fan favorite Olli Juolevi likewise not in the Gulls lineup.

And here is your lucky number program:

Di Giuseppe comes out of the box and sets up Nils Aman for the late first period 1-0 lead after a successful pk.

Kyle Rau tips a Wolanin wrister from the point past Lukas Dostal.

And then Bains blasts one behind Dostal from the point.

3-0 Abby.

Del Zotto just sent Aman flying into the boards after he shot the puck. Dirty play and Aman was crumpled against the boards.

Cracknell throw a flying reverse elbow on Brisebois and put him out a couple of games ago.

Abby players dropping like flies from cheap shots lately.

Looks like demand for game commentary was greatly exaggerated.

Thanks Rats. It's 4-1 now after two periods.

Goes without saying, just ask about any player you're interested in.

BTW Aman did return to the game but that was still a cheap shot. Really missing Arseneau's muscle out there lately.

No, no, keep up the color commentary. I can't watch so I'm not commenting.

I was hoping to hear about Raty, but maybe next game?

It's crazy to hear guys like MDZ and Cracknell cheap-shotting guys when they were so soft and timid to do shit like that in the NHL. I guess there are no more goons allowed in the AHL?
