Abbotsford Canucks Live: Game 1 of AHL Calder Cup final vs. Charlotte
The Vancouver Canucks haven't had an AHL affiliate advance to the league final since the Utica Comets in 2015. Now they have two. The Abbotsford Canucks skated past the Texas Stars on Sunday to make the AHL's championship round, which begins Friday in Charlotte, N.C., against the Checkers, the top affiliate of the Florida Panthers. Yes, those same Florida Panthers who are now battling the Edmonton Oilers for the Stanley Cup. Talk about a strong organization. For the Canucks, this season has been about growth and about the coach. Manny Malhotra had a good reputation as an assistant coach coming into the season but he'd never run a bench as the head coach. Clearly he was more than ready. This Abbotsford team plays smart, hard-working hockey. It's not filled with stars, AHL squads rarely are, but the guys leading the way may yet have an NHL future. Malhotra has seen Arshdeep Bains and Linus Karlsson top the scoring table and it's not accident: both have shown promise as hard-working checkers at the NHL level, the very essence of players who 'play the right way.' AHL games can be chaotic — it's the reality of a league with a broad range of skill quality — so players like when players like Bains and Karlsson, who bring efficiency and focus to the ice, thrive in this environment, it's a good sign for them. They're unlikely to be stars at the NHL level but they could prove to be dependable NHL depth forwards. You also don't get this far without standout performances on the blue-line and both Vincent Mancini and Kirill Kudryavtsev have shown why they remain on the NHL club's radar: to make the NHL you have to be able to play quicker and smarter than your AHL peers and both have done so. The trick is converting that to the even faster NHL game. Charlotte, on the other hand, are led by a quintet of veteran players, some of whom are familiar: John Leonard is an AHL veteran, but Jesse Puljujärvi is a busted NHL prospect. Will Lockwood came up with the Canucks but has been in the Florida system for the past two seasons. Rasmus Asplund is another AHL veteran with lots of NHL experience. Defenceman Mike Benning, is Jim Benning's son and at 23 may yet make an impact at the NHL level but is obviously playing for an organization that's deep on the blue-line.

‘Unreal' Brad Marchand continues strong play for Panthers in Stanley Cup Final
Brad Marchand continued to be clutch for the Panthers throughout the playoffs when he scored the game-winning goal on a breakaway in double-overtime in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers. The goal tied the Cup Final at one game apiece. The series now shifts to Florida for Games 3 and 4. Advertisement 'His anticipation and his hockey sense is unbelievable,' Matthew Tkachuk told reporters after the game. 'You see it (Friday) with two breakaway goals. Just seeing the play and he's gone. I saw that a ton with him playing in Boston. Way better seeing it now.' The goal Marchand's second of the game. The 37-year-old became the first NHL player to score a shorthanded goal and an overtime goal in the same game. Marchand's 10 career goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs are the most among active players. Marchand admitted to TNT after the game that he blacked out during the game-winning goal, but scoring big goals in big moments is something the veteran forward has done many times throughout his career — especially on the breakaway. So he had just one thought on both goals. Advertisement 'Just don't forget the puck,' Marchand told reporters after the game. 'That's the main thing. I've done that before. It's not a good feeling.' While there might have been questions about Marchand's health when the Boston Bruins traded him to the Panthers in March due to an injury at the time of the trade, the forward has been playing at an elite level throughout the playoffs with 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in 19 games. 'He could play till he's 47 the way he's going,' Tkachuk told reporters. 'Unreal player, unreal competitor.' More Bruins content Read the original article on MassLive.

Bruins hire 2010 Winter Classic hero as next coach
The Boston Bruins have their guy. Boston hired Marco Sturm as the organization's new coach. Sturm played for the Bruins for five seasons after he was acquired by the Bruins in a trade that sent Joe Thornton to the San Jose Sharks in 2005. Advertisement Sturm played hero for Boston in 2010 when he scored the game-winning overtime goal in the Bruins' first Winter Classic appearance at Fenway Park. Sturm takes over for Joe Sacco, who served as Boston's interim coach after Jim Montgomery was fired in November. The Bruins interviewed several candidates including Jay Woodcroft, Jay Leach, Mitch Love and Sacco. The 46-year-old inherits a team that went 33-39-10 in a disappointing 2024-25 season that saw the Bruins trade away Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo and their captain, Brad Marchand. While this is Sturm's first NHL head coaching job, his résumé includes international experience, including leading the German national team to a silver medal in the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. The German-born forward has been with the AHL's Ottawa Reign for three seasons where he's thrived as their coach. The team went 119-80-11-6 during his tenure and made three consecutive playoff appearances. Advertisement Before that, Sturm spent time as an assistant with the Los Angeles Kings. With Sturm on board, the Bruins' next priority will be the NHL Draft later this month where they have the No. 7 pick. In 938 NHL games, Sturm registered 487 points.
