Weird is way too kindAHL is weird, no home games at all for the lower seed?
Bush league I'd say

I think it's a function of the reduced travel in the AHL, and the over-importance of divisional play. They don't have any wildcard teams, and the best two of three preliminary round series, is a substitute for a "play in" round.AHL is weird, no home games at all for the lower seed?
Sawchenko playing game 1Abbotsford Canucks open tonight's Calder Cup playoffs tonight in Colorado. They probably aren't favored in the best two of three, as the road team.
And with Silovs up with the big club, Tolopilo will carry the mail between the pipes. That's the worst part of these best of threes--your season can end quick. Hopefully the Canucks can pull off the upset and get some games back home or AHL fans in the Valley.
Sawchenko playing game 1
Tolopilo appears not to be dressed. The back-up is Jonathan Lemieux.Sawchenko was pretty good in his regular season action - especially after going almost the whole year with no starts.

.924 in 6 regular season games (5 starts). The guy deserves a break, and it'd be a gas if he took the team to the next round.That’s a great start, and they have the chance to knock off Colorado in the next game.
Again, kudos to Sawchenko, who’s kind of gotten a raw deal this year.
Just looked at the box score and realized there is a player for Colorado named Ivan Ivan. Terrible name...
Not sure Arnston is in the heavy wieght category. Team likely still looking for vet here. But does sound like he brings toughness and can play some. Think they see him as possible player rather than just a protector.
Almost a guarantee he fights in one of the prospects game
Hopefully a future teammate of Marcel Marcel.
Has he played wing? He had some decent offensive production for a tough guy prior to this season.Arntsen is a legit modern heavyweight. Probably the toughest guy in the WHL in the last 5 years.
I’d assume they’d convert him to wing since there isn’t much hope of him sticking at D in pro.
