Down 2-0 after 2

That was almost as depressing as liatening to a canucks game. Too bad for the kids. Would have been nice to them make a push.

At least the Comets did not get swept. They have shown a lot of characters to come back and force a game 5 from 0-2 in the series.

I guess that's the kind of optimism that has allowed you to survive as a Canucks fan.

Comets 0 - Marlies 4

Was good play off experience for the prospects though. Demko & Goldobin are progressing. Dahlen's game looks like it will translate to the small ice fine.

Petrus Palmu nominated for the Liiga Jarmo Wasama Memorial Prize for Best Achievement Award.

This year, the nominees for the Wasama Prize are (candidates in alphabetical order):

Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Aces
Petrus Palmu, TPS
Jonathan Tanus, SaiPa

Previously won by Patrick Laine, Olli Jokinen and Petri Skriko (and a littany of jobbers) according to Wikipedia.

EDIT: Okay, some other NHLers in that list from Wikipedia... I'm a bit out of touch with non-Canucks.

Big day for #Canucks prospect Elias Pettersson, who caps off an outstanding first Swedish Hockey League season being named Rookie of the Year, Forward of the Year and Most Valuable Player! He was also the SHL Playoff MVP leading the Växjö Lakers to an SHL Championship!

Tryamkin made the final 8 for Team Russia

Good on Palmu. Be nice to see him win the Finnish rookie of the year award. He’s had a good season and it explains why the Canucks want him in Utica next season. He is small but in a brick shithouse kinda way.

The type that needs a lot of time to develop - TBL style they got a few small guys up front but let them develop for years in the AHL like Yanni Gourde and Tyler Johnson.

Oh yeah this guy is a beaut. When he returns and you know he will, draft Dobson, Juolevi comes around, trade Tanev for Liljegren we are the envy of the league in D
