Cuda Corner: Emotional weekend in Abbotsford
It’s been a while since the San Jose Barracuda took a trip to Canada to pay a visit to the Manitoba Moose — who were once the only Canadian team in the AHL’s Pacific Division — with the last time that they did so having been in the 2017-18 season.
Last weekend, the Barracuda crossed the border to play the newest team in the league, the Abbotsford Canucks. This past off-season, the Vancouver Canucks relocated their AHL affiliate from Utica to Abbotsford, something I maintain they should have done much sooner than they did, but better late than never. While the first game of the weekend series was an absolute trouncing by the Canucks, the second one proved to be much more dramatic.
