Sorry, pal. don't worry. One more chance. They were underdogs but they're playing a hell of a series.....

 

Not sure we're much of underdogs  ...  same # points, just playing all 3 playoff games in Colorado 'cos Eagles had more regulation wins

 

Surely Tolopilo is back with the team for Sundays game - Nashville must be providing the EBUG for their 2 home games

Tolopilo was shown practicing at the Canuck morning skate today, so he was in Nashville earlier today.  Perhaps the Canucks want their own EBUG on hand rather than relying on the one that Nashville would provide.  Or maybe they will send him back for that crucial Abby game 3 on Sunday???

From the highlights it looks like Sawchenko had a great game. Abby is fortunate to have a guy like that sticking around as essentially a practice goalie for most of the season. And then, when needed, he comes in a plays great.

 

I think that one reason he came to Abby for the opportunity to work with Ian Clarke (and Marko Torenius) and improve his game. I think it worked. He signed a one-year deal with Vancouver with a minor league salary of 200K, which is not bad. He has played well enough to earn at least a similar contract next year, either with Vancouver or someone else.
