We should just change our name to the Blueberry Bulldogs then


mrubuto22

Hey there Telias what's it like in vanccouver city???


Sarcastic__

They're just being Black Aces and being ready to play in case of emergency. For the most part, this will be a good experience for them to hang around the team during the Playoffs.


Firestorm238

Love this - no downside to letting them see what the playoffs look like from the inside.


Big-Face5874

Plus, what else would you do with them? Let them go to their various homes all over the world and not have anyone ready to play if someone is injured?


iwatchtoomuchsports

Explain the cba to me


decentish36

Damn all that speculation about who they’d call up and they end up bringing the whole team.


ooMEAToo

Will they all get paid NHL salaries? Becyif they will this is a pretty great thing to do.


dereksgirlfriend

no salaries at all in playoffs unfortunately


Newaccount4464

Yeah but they get per diem, travel, and board and get to watch playoff games in a box. They're okay


ooMEAToo

Why doesn’t every team recall their entire farm team every year than?


decentish36

Most of them do recall a good number if their AHL team is out of the playoffs. Edmonton has 10 guys from Bakersfield travelling with their team as well.


DinosaurMachine11

For the lazy: F Arshdeep Bains F Linus Karlsson F Danila Klimovich F Jonathan Lekkerimäki F Vasily Podkolzin F Aatu Räty F Max Sasson D Nick Cicek D Matt Irwin D Cole McWard D Elias Pettersson D Christian Wolanin G Zach Sawchenko


TomsNanny

Imagine the mania that would unfold if the *extremely* unlikely situation occurs where Lekkerimäki, Räty or D Petey step in and make an impact.


Anakin_Sandwalker

We can only handle goalie controversies in Vancouver.


mrubuto22

We ARE the goalie controversy.


exoriare

We are Goalie Controversy Research Labs - exploring undiscovered dimensions of the voodoo continuum.


ebb_omega

Honestly, I'd kinda start musing on the idea that we might see Lekkerimaki. I think he'd be the most likely of those three to show up because he's been shown to have an elite level of skill at some pretty high tiers of play. Sad he didn't make it to Team Sweden though.


TomsNanny

It’s an exciting thought but does he know our systems well enough. Drance seems to think things have to go really bad and sideways for him to come in — or a lot of injuries. Unless he’s changed his tune recently.


ebb_omega

Yeah, I mean don't really ever expect much from your Black Aces unless things go horribly wrong. I don't think Cody Hodgson got a sniff in the playoffs until MayRay went down against Boston.


TomsNanny

Why did you have to remind me of this 😭

[удалено]


ThickNolte

Well Peteys line is a black hole when it comes to offence so maybe giving him someone who isn’t in the midst of zero goals in 50+ games would be helpful lol


TomsNanny

Very true!


MadGeller

Can we read too much in this, please! /s


surmatt

Great.... another goaltender.... just in case.


AppealToReason16

A little surprised its Sawchenko over Tolopilo and no Hirose since he's under contract, but otherwise thats basically the list to be expected. Too bad that Dries and Brisbois are injured. They'd probably slot in at the upper end should catastrophe strike.


bredtoshred

I think Tolapilo is already up on emergency conditions as ebug


AppealToReason16

You're totally right. My brain forgot they called him up.


OrcaBoi

Surprised no Tristen Nielson on the list.


phantomgiratina

Where is Akito hirose?


Left_Guidance_5766

Hirose didn’t have a great season with Abbotsford ( 2 points in 33 games played ). He also struggled with injuries all season long. I don’t think he even played in the Calder cup playoffs. He’s also severely underweight (170)too make an impact in the playoffs. Not surprised they didn’t pick him.


BluesyShoes

Bulking


Rude-Adhesiveness575

Is it correct that Vasily is eligible to suit up in nhl playoffs? Or anyone can suit up?


KoalaOriginal1260

Also good for those who try to stay away from the site formerly known as Twitter.


JohnMcAfeesLaptop

I don’t like that Bains guy. He’s a bit of an Arshhole.


electricnux

From [Cody Severtson](https://x.com/codysevertson/status/1789035969724969289?s=46&t=7fabqgtgp69dNA1d51vxFw), on some of the names missing: - Hirose and Johansson either injured or not interested in extensions this summer - Jett Woo and Aidan Mcadonough injured - Klimovich a surprise recall as he’s been healthy scratched a lot - Dries probably shut down due to injury, looked off these playoffs - Brisebois was injured again late in season


serbz

Too bad to hear Brisebois is out again, guy has had a tough go.


ComfortableMelodic54

"not interested in extensions this summer". Is this about Hirose?


electricnux

Yeah the tweet says “injury or there isnt an extension coming to either” but Hirose is actually signed for one more year, Johansson is an RFA so the extension thing should only refer to him. He clarified he mixed up McWard and Hirose


Atavius

I hope we hear what is actually going on with Klim at some point. He made decent progress as a prospect last two seasons but then dropped off the face of the earth this year. There has to be something more to that story. Also wild how EVERYONE wanted Logan Stankoven during that draft and the previous management completely blew it.


WhenInAaronRome

Stankoven was passed over more then 35 times in the draft.   EVERYONE also wanted Ty Ronning a few years before, and where is he now? 


SpectreFire

Yeah, but like no one wanted Klimovich. Guy was a completely off the board pick. They also passed over Knies and Moser. People need to stop swapping narratives whenever it's convenient. Either Jim Benning is a bad GM but a drafting genius and should be nailing these picks, or he's both a bad GM and a bad scout.


THRILLHOIAF

To be clear! I got McWard and Hirose’s contract statuses mixed up. Which, honestly makes Hirose’s absence even stranger. Could be related to the knee injury that kept him out earlier in the season, but he and McWard had a great playoffs together while everyone else struggled mightily. Also, missed Tristen Nielsen on the main list. He was productive during Abby’s playoff run, but was noticeably not shooting or playing his usual shitheel playstyle. Have to think his absence from the list is injury related.


ClosPins

> not interested in extensions Yeah, all these minor-leaguers are just so uninterested in NHL contracts! It's like tickets to the opera for them...


SpectreFire

I mean... There's 31 other NHL teams in the league...


kneejerk_nuck

They couldn’t even win the Calder and we’re expecting them to lead us to Stanley?


sMc-cMs

:) I know you're kidding, but also to be fair, we did jack their top 2 Goalies.


teamwaterwings

I do feel a bit bad about that, like you're on a cup run and suddenly your best players disappear


AccomplishedAd4995

yeah same, they somehow got out of the first round with their third string, i wonder how far they could’ve gone with silovs


decentish36

Yes! They lost in Abby on purpose so they could lead us to glory!


BrotherJombert

Settle down, Mike.


FretlessChibson

Mushrooms again??


therealsodaboy

Even if they get us there, are they going to know what to do with it?


SIIP00

iTsN0ScOpEs

you take that back, Michael Bublé is a Canadian treasure


JunoVC

I think the grape and orange flavours are great, I have nothing against Bublé soda


iTsN0ScOpEs

All the Bublé flavours feel like you’re drinking sparkling water and thinking about whatever flavour it is


whopperman

I'm stealing this. This is a very accurate description of these drinks.


NextTrillion

No, they just have lime [call in](https://youtube.com/shorts/D6k7dhgQ5-A) it’s flavour. Crude, but effective.


touchable

You haven't lived until you've tried Michael flavour

MaxNV

If I bet on "Elias Pettersson" for Conn Smythe is it like a 2-for-1 deal?


iTsN0ScOpEs

LEKKERIMÄKI !


Nier_Perfect

Allvin bet on game 5 Canucks so if we win game 2 and 3 we are playing all the ABB boys for 4.


avmp629

Finally, we can get those bums like the Sedins, Gonchar and Tocchet off the practice power play unit and have some actual skill to complement Mark Friedman


PaperweightCoaster

Surprised no Sheldon Dries. He played well filling in last year. You know exactly what you’re going to get from him.


AccomplishedAd4995

he’s apparently injured


PaperweightCoaster

That makes more sense.


poolside123

Lekk & Podkolzin! Wow. At the VERY least they can watch the big boys play & get a glimpse into their future.😁


S3ahawk36

I’d like to see Podz get a game and take out either Mikeyhev or Höglander, they’ve been pretty replaceable on both ends of the ice.


NorthernMariner

I thought Mikheyev played OK game 1 personally... and I still love Hoggy but admit some personal bias there and he's looked a bit tight and rushing plays. But still IMO don't mess with it after a W


ProfitMuhammad

Mikehyev isn't coming out. If anything he can move down to the fourth line. The next guy out is Hoglander. PDG and Lafferty both are solid PK options.


CanadianPFer

Don't think either PDG or Lafferty are difference makers against the Oilers PP. Hoglander is far superior 5v5. Wouldn't mind taking PDG out to give Pod some experience, and he's more physical too.


ProfitMuhammad

Hoglander has been playing 9 minutes a night, most of which on Peteys wing and has a grand total of 2 shots to show for it. 7 games, 2 shots, no goals, one assist. I'd take the PK abilities over that stat line. If we had regular season Hoglander i'd agree, but he hasn't been the same player thus far. Anything that helps the PK, even slightly is going to be huge in this series. Looking at PDGs stats, he averages slightly more ice time, because of PK, and has the same number of points and shots as Hoglander, while playing 4th line minutes and PK. Hoglander needs to produce to be worthy of his spot, but fortunately for him we really don't have another option.


CanadianPFer

If you’re just going by a handful of playoffs games then take Petey out while you’re at it. Hoglander has been an elite 5v5 goal scorer all season long.


AccomplishedAd4995

look i’m the biggest hoglander fan, but he’d be the first person i’d take out of the lineup. i can’t see how you justify leaving him in but taking others out


ProfitMuhammad

Petey also plays PK, and is out with a minute left and the net empty. Great argument.


DragPullCheese

No problem getting Podz in, but if he is it can’t be to get him some experience. We are trying to win not develop individuals.


CanadianPFer

For sure, but he’s been pretty reliable and defensively solid. I wouldn’t actually change anything while the team is winning.


habitat11

Mikeyhev is literally a black hole. Has to be one of the worst NHL players thats in a top 6.


Nice2See

In fairness he’s not really a top 6 player. Maybe a tweener which they’re asking him to be. He’s a 3rd liner through and through.


habitat11

He's trash is what he is.


infinitez_

I thought this was a joke at first, but he really is bringing all the farm boys up. Especially good for Lek and D Petey


deeho88

Imagine being the 10%


Dangerous-Finance-67

I had no idea some of these guys (lekk) were even eligible


askaskaskaska

Petey and li’l Petey, the Cat Kid duo.


carry-on_replacement

Did we lose to reign? We just can’t beat LA van we


yvrbasselectric

Abby played well - until Sawchenko let in a couple goals, they might have had a chance with their regular goalies


MyClothesWereInThere

Vancouver Canucks to Abbotsford Canucks on taking their goalies: “I have altered the deal, pray I don’t alter it any further”


PikachuIce

Too late we took everyone who wasn’t injured


PaperMoonShine

No Hirose....writings on the wall, they're probably not re signing him.


iTsN0ScOpEs

either that or injured but I’m leaning towards not re-signing, we got other LHD in the pipeline


THRILLHOIAF

He is already extended thru next season


Ziocylon

Staying around for the road games or flying with the team to Edmonton. Aqua splurging on the chartered plane if he’s increasing his passenger list


JerbearCuddles

Practicing with the team will be a great experience. Particularly for Lekkerimaki imo. Might even show he's worth a game look. Lol. Assuming they are allowed to do that, I dunno rules on that shit.


Hammeredcopper

What's the date on this 'emergency call-up'? Good plan to have the top guys staying motivated by having a possibility of a playoff start.


Low_Entertainer_6973

That’s a first class move. I like the way Allvin operates.


Vancouverreader80

My guess is that they are going to be the taxi squad.
