SamJamIam Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 He plays against the other teams' best forwards, and on a not so good team, that is bound to happen Also there are two -8s and a -9. So not the team worst. Also the vast majority of the players on Sudbury are negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 YES!! HE GOT THE INVITE! Edit: just in case anyone thinks I'm being over-enthusiastic its because I also just won $50 on a bet over this matter :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie D: Corrado (SBY), Dumba (RD), Hamilton (NIA), Harrington (LDN), Murphy (KIT), Ouellet (BB) Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie D: Pelech (ERI), Pouliot (POR), Reinhart (EDM), Rielly (MJ), Sproul (SSM), Wotherspoon (POR). Defense wont be team Canada's weakness. That's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 players I listed will probably be the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanrikCarter Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Some good dmen got cut ahead of him. Ceci (who I am actually shocked didn't make it), Siemens, Percy and Koekoek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelane42 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 An accomplishment just getting the invite. I didn't check but he's probably the lowest draft seclection among all the drafted invitees. Whoever pushed for him on the Nuck's scouting staff should get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thrilled for Corrado. Even if he makes the third pair it would be a huge accomplishment Reilly - Hamilton Dumba - Murphy Corrado - Reinhart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Congrats to Corrado on the invite. He's up against some stiff competition, but getting the invite at least gives him a shot. Hopefully team Canada's scouts liked what they saw when he was paired with Hamilton in the Subway series. I think his best bet is to beat out Harrington or Dumba for that final spot. Or possibly making the team as a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 You guys are all forgetting a key part of the WJHC. You are allowed to dress 20 skaters.... so that means 13F and 7D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Being invited over some of those other players is an honour in itself. I am almost certain he wont make the team over guys like Rielly, Pouliot, Dumba, Murphy, or Reinhart (plus the guys who made the team last year) in the end, but it is still a good sign of things to come.

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm happy he got the invite, but do you really think he will outplay Dumba,Hamilton,Harrington,Murphy,Reinhart,Rielly, and the others. The 6 players I listed will probably be the top 6. Franky looked better paired with Hamilton than Harrington in the Subway series. I think they would have won the game they lost if he was still paired with Hamilton on the last shift of the third. Harrington totally blew his coverage of the winning goal scorer and it was game over. For me Corrado beats out Harrington to make the team.

Harrington made the team last year, and has improved his defensive game a lot in the past year. To me, he's a lock to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrington's a returnee though, and that won't fly with Hockey Canada's philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazin! Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Corrado's hard pressed to make it, but like some have said, it's a step just to get the selection. He's still so young. Definitely will have a chance next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Canada team also only won a bronze though. Nobody should be a lock from last year IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 To make the squad he has to be in the top 8, to get playing time top 6 or 7. I think Corrado can certainly beat out Pouliot, Pelech, Sproul and Wotherspoon. I'd probably even take him over Oullet but I guess I'm bias. I think he has a real shot at this thing.

Pears Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That Canada team also only won a bronze though. Nobody should be a lock from last year IMO. I think the only players that should be locks are Huberdeau, Scheifele, Jenner and RNH. The rest is just a crap shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
