The Abby Canucks needed one point in their final two games of the season — or Bakersfield to lose their last game — to host their first\u002Dround AHL playoff series.
It’s because they dropped two games — badly, though the losses were all that really mattered — to the Manitoba Moose this week and then watched the Bakersfield Condors upset the Stockton Heat on Saturday night, vaulting the Condors and the Colorado Eagles past the Canucks in the AHL’s Pacific Division.
But instead they lost to Manitoba 7-1 and then 6-0, handing the initiative to Bakersfield. It was far from a lock that the Condors were going to beat Stockton: if the Heat had won on Saturday, they’d have finished the season with the best record in the entire AHL.Article content Both Petan and Dries were waived Saturday, with the intention, should they clear, to be re-assigned to Abbotsford.
