Luca Ciona puts the puck over a sprawled out Patera and we somehow have a 3-3 tie game late in the third period.

Patera has not been as sharp as Tolopilo was last night.

Brannstrom is like a fourth forward out there which is a mixed blessing tonight.

Calgary wins this one in the shootout in a game where they were severely outplayed by the Canucks. Devin Cooley was heroic in goal for the Wranglers as Jiri Patera shit the bed in goal for Abbotsford. Shootout was two and done as Patera couldn't stop anything and looked ridiculous in the process. No idea why Tolopilo didn't play tonight after a stellar effort Friday.

Next up a Fri-Sat set in Colorado. The home debut is set for October 25, a Friday. Hope to see Wolanin in for Brannstrom and Tolopilo for Patera Friday in Colorado.

As always… thnx megs

So two games with not too many shots or goals against, but abysmal save percentages from both goalies. Are they giving up too many high quality chances?

The Canucks did break down a little bit in the third period on Friday, but they dominated play in the loss yesterday. Tolopilo was really sharp in the net in the Friday win while I thought Patera was awful in the loss, a game in which the Canucks pretty much dominated from start to finish. I'm not anxious to see Jiri Patera between the pipes for Abby anytime soon based on yesterday's outing, though he does have the track record of an effective goalie at the AHL level. Tolopilo's poor save percentage in the Friday win was just one of those things imo. I don't think he could be faulted on any of the three goals that got past him.

On paper you would think this pair ought to be a solid AHL tandem. But they've got to do it on the ice starting Friday in Colorado.

Canucks renew with ECHL Kalamazoo for a couple of more years.

Ty Young and Josh Bloom are the two Canucks properties currently there. They kick off their season tonight.

Tolopilo gets the start. Hirose gets in on the blueline.

Kudryavtsev playing the wrong side on a pairing with Hirose tonight.

Canucks in Colorado to face the Eagles tonight and tomorrow by the way...

A scoreless first period with the Canucks set to kill a short 5 on 3 disadvantage to start the second.

Brilliant couple of saves by Tolopilo in the goal crease getting the shot from in tight and the rebound in quick succession.. He's been outstanding tonight.

0-0 score in the second.
