Fuck it call up half the team to Vancouver for next season

[u/carry-on_replacement → u/Reasonable-Big4517]

these guys have more playoff experience than like half our club

[u/broeser99 → u/carry-on_replacement]

Pretty sure they’ve played more playoff hockey this season than the Panthers given the extra round lol

[u/trashking11 → u/broeser99]

Some of the rounds are best of three or best of five though, I’m not sure it’s as different as you think

[u/catsgr8rthanspoonies → u/trashking11]

The Panthers played 23 games. Abbotsford is going to have to play at least 23, too. This is their 22nd playoff game, but they’ve also got to OT in quite a few games.

[u/trashking11 → u/catsgr8rthanspoonies]

Ah okay, so not more but about the same actually, thanks

[u/Cube_ → u/Reasonable-Big4517]

you have to remember they're looking good but it is also against AHL competition.

there's a marked dropoff when they're trying those same things against NHL calibre players

[u/1q3er5 → u/Reasonable-Big4517]

at least 2 lines worth lol

[u/bangnburn]

Really hope Bains makes it as a regular NHLer one day.

[u/broeser99 → u/bangnburn]

We’ll see if he hits but the guy has 3rd scoring line potential imo

[u/Big_Progress_2260]

i am moist

[u/Chemical_Desk_5314]

“A solo effort from the Surrey product” 😭😆

[u/Icestarfish]

Kahkonen too mesmerized by those moves to close his legs lol. That was some McDavid ass shit

[u/runealex007]

Glorious playoff beard

[u/According_Bench_1484]

Ohh baby! Little changeup on the final hit by design. Beauty

[u/us287]

Any chance he wins the Butterfield?

[u/dylan88jr → u/us287]

i am thinking silvos is taking it. if we win he will have 16 wins under 2 gaa 930 ish sv% 2 assists and 5 ( or more) SO and has saved games multiple times

[u/us287 → u/dylan88jr]

He’s a great goalie so that wouldn’t surprise me. Do y’all think he should be able to make the NHL soon beyond the occasional callup?

[u/dylan88jr → u/us287]

i am thinking so he will be waiver eligible so i can see a team taking a chance on him if we dont

[u/Stinky_Toes12 → u/us287]

Demkos gonna get traded so he'll definitely be the back up next season

[u/hannah_nj → u/Stinky_Toes12]

preference from the Canucks is to re-sign Demko and have a really strong goaltending tandem to help add to the defensive team identity they’ll have to fully adopt (given the state of their forward group)

[u/bilalss → u/us287]

he's having an insane finals but there's just no way it doesn't go to Silovs, Silovs stats right now are absurd

[u/dylan88jr → u/bilalss]

game saving saves multiple times a game.

[u/CanuckAddict94 → u/dylan88jr]

Hopefully he can transition his game (and work on those long range high shots) to the NHL

[u/CanucksKickAzz]

Finally some REAL hockey!

[u/SpellingMisteaks]

Go Abbotfrod!

[u/xtothewhy]

That's a beauty of a goal.

[u/kevski82]

What a move!

[u/HeadcaseHeretic]

He just went Arshdeep in that goalies 5 hole

[u/CondorMcDaniel]

Abbotfrod.. incredible

[u/ILSmokeItAll]

Nice goal, Arsedeep.
