Abby Game Talk March / April

[Megaterio Llamas]

Puck drop in Ontario at 7 Pacific.

Scary weak roster again of course;

[Megaterio Llamas]

Scoreless six minutes in.

Marco Sturm is the head coach of the Ontario Reign.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Hoagie scoots in on Cal Petersen on a pass from Marc Gatcomb after a successful pk and beats the goalie with a backhand to put Abby up 1-0 late first period.

Hoglander is just all over it again tonight, picking right up where he left off.

You guys are gonna like what you see there.

Still 1-0 Abby at the period break.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Alan Quine equalizes on the power play with Yoshi Hirano in the box.

1-1

[Megaterio Llamas]

Samuel Helenius broke his stick on a slapper from the points and it squibs by Spencer Martin.

2-1 Ontario at the second intermission.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Hoglander steals it at the Abby blueline skates in on a breakaway and scores on the backhand even though he was hooked and drew a penalty.

This guy looks like an NHL star playing in the AHL.

2-2 mid third.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Martin is very sharp again tonight.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Rathbone blasts a slapper high past Petersen for a late w3-2 lead.

What a bomb of a shot.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Jett Woo takes on the huge Sami Helenius behind the Abby goal after Helenius dropped Nielsen with a big hit.

Woo gets the instigator and a misconduct with his fighting major but the Canucks kill it off.

43 seconds left in regulation.

And the Canucks hang on for the come from behind win.

Next up Henderson tomorrow night.

What about Woo?

Sorry if I missed anything but is he or Rathbone really ready to be a 3rd pairing D next season? The team will be needing some really cheap ELC players next season.

I think Woo is probably a long shot for next season, his play has tailed off lately after a promising first half.

Rathbone is rounding into form after concussion problems again and is a definite possibility for next season.

[Carl Yagro]

Honest assessment, Megs... is Woo that far a drop-off from Burroughs?

Kyle is a true 4th-pairing, part-time Dman IMO. If Jet isn't even close to that, then I'm very sad.

When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars. Jett Woo can be a legitimate 4/5 NHL defenseman. No call ups is meaningful here.

I know second round picks are like four leaf clovers aro8und here but the odds are stacked against them ever becoming NHL regulars. For that approach to work you need to accumulate multiple draft picks.

You know, like the successful franchises do.

[Megaterio Llamas]

I know I was cranky last night, but I'm at peace with it all today.

We are the California Seals and everything that goes with it. And you what...

That's okay.
