Game is on SN1, I believe.

Will be nice to watch the Abby Canucks again.

Yeah, I thought there was a rule about having enough vets on the rosters of these games.

Abby Canucks, indeed.

Min 8 vets. Each vet can play 2 of the 4 games max

Apparently vets are anyone who has played one NHL game for minumum vets purposes.

100 games for the two game max purposes.

Canucks commentators are on the Raty hype trade.

This has been a completely pointless exercise.

He hs had a strong game. Much better than the last one.

Mancini has also been a lot better.

And Mancini just let his guy get behind him.

They look like they might be a much better Abby team this year.

Insert the beating a dead horse gif here.

The dam was bound to break eventually. I'm not really watching anymore.

Not super keen on Novotny and Cootes being down there unless the Canucks have a couple of legit goons to protect them in the A.

I don't think Novotny is ready for that yet. I'm betting he's back in Peterborough, maybe as early as tonight.

They both had a better second period than the first but there is no need to rush either of them.
