Abbotsford makes a goalie change after one period, trailing 3-0 to the Firebirds. It's Nikita Tolopilo in for Arturs Silovs.

Firebirds update: Abbotsford stuns the Acrisure Arena crowd with two quick goals in the second period. Both similar thrashing in front of the Nikke Kokko and finding a way to sneak it in. Phillip Di Giuseppe and Nate Smith with the goals. All of a sudden it's 3-2 Firebirds

AFTER TWO PERIODS: It's Firebirds 3, Canucks 2 Coachella Valley controlled the back half of that period, after weathering the storm, they will enter the final period with a lead in what is in essence a must-win game. Hang on.

FIREBIRDS UPDATE: Abbotsford completes the comeback and has now tied the Firebirds at 3-3. Some tic-tac-toe passing and a finish by Jujhar Khaira. A crucial 13:43 in the Firebirds season right now. Acrisure Arena nervousness level a 9 out of 10.

OOOF! Abbotsford takes the lead. It's Jujhar Khaira again. Canucks now lead 4-3 with 6:23 left. Firebirds in deep trouble. All the positive vibes from earlier have left the building. Still time.

FIREBIRDS GET THE EQUALIZER! Ben Meyers bats in a lose puck n the goal line with 4:03 left to re-tie the game at 4-4. A season-saver? We shall see. High-drama finish incoming.

Time to exhale. We're going to Overtime. Wild one at Acrisure Arena as the Canucks and Firebirds will head to an extra session tied at 4-4. Here's me on press row ...

OH MY!!!!!!!!!! Firebirds win!!!! A misplay by the Canucks goalie served up an easy one for Jacob Melanson to whack it in. WOW!!! Firebirds 5, Canucks 4 in OT, series tied 1-1. Game 3 in Abbotsford on Wednesday.

How big was that win for the Firebirds? No AHL team has EVER won a 5-game series after losing the first two at home, needing three road wins to close it out. desertsun.com/story/sports/h…

An overtime hockey goal can come at any time so it's tricky for a photographer to catch the winning moment. But don't tell that to Andy Abeyta who got this beauty of Jacob Melanson's overtime winner for the Coachella Valley Firebirds over Abbotsford complete with sprawling Canuck.

POV: PLAYOFF PANDEMONIUM!!! 🤯

#SeaKraken have reassigned Caden Price from Lethbridge (WHL) to Coachella Valley (AHL) following Lethbridge's WHL playoff elimination. Likely marks the defenseman's transition to pro hockey. And he might not need to leave Canada to do it, with Coachella heading to Abbotsford.

A lot of people have been asking if the Firebirds are going to do the watch party at the casino for road playoff games this year. The answer is no, but here's how you can watch their games at Abbotsford. desertsun.com/story/sports/h…

Unlucky break for the Seattle Kraken. Two teams leapfrogged them in the NHL Draft lottery which just happened. They will now have the 8th pick instead of their rightful 6th pick.

Another icy hot edition of the Fire and Ice podcast. You might hear yours truly as part of a deep media roundtable. Throw it on in the background while you follow Game 3. Enjoy!

FIREBIRDS UPDATE: Fuego is in the house during the Firebirds takeover of the Burgers & Beer in Rancho Mirage. Upbeat vibes even with team trailing 2-0. After two periods. Fuego 🔥

Real question because this is an area where I have very little knowledge: Why does the pope have to assume a name like Pope Leo XIV as opposed to just using his actual name like Pope Robert the first? #Prevost #Pope
