Erik Karlsson Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I like how Corrado has more big hits in one game then most of our d-core has all season, besides Alberts. Shows you how soft we play back there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckles88 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 BIG fan of Corrado's game last night! Kid was excellent! Reminds me of Tanev but with more potential in my opinion. Tanev is very solid but Corrado makes you notice him. My playoff lines: D.Sedin-H.Sedin-Burrows Higgins-Roy-Kesler Raymond-Lapierre-Hansen Sestito-Ebbett-Kassian (with kass moving up and down throughout the game... Not a big fan of Weise) Hamhuis-Bieksa Edler-Garrison Alberts-Corrado/Tanev Ballard is being out-played by Alberts and doesnt deserve a spot in the line-up above him and we cant afford not to have a right handed shot on that 3rd pairing so hes only subs in for injuries in my books. Barker should have been down in the A this season but AV was trying to give him a chance but only playing an average of 1 out of 4 games isnt gonna help anybody. But Corrado was good from start to finish last game and pretty much pushed Barker out of the lineup entirely, especially being a righty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 How the hell did this kid not make Team Canada? He was solid on a premier NHL club against the best NHL team matched against one of the top players in the league while logging tons of ice. Hockey is such an old boys club. Whatever, Canada's loss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 IMO opinion he established the physical tone early and more importantly, first. This is something this team hasn't done all year. Great to see. Leadership from a young player that sparked the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Doctor Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It's sure nice to see a draft pick make an impact on this team. It's sure been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonz Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hope this wasn't just beginners luck. Threw some nice hits and was great at skating back defensively. He is EXACTLY what Edler needs, and you could see how much Edler improved. The only time Edler looked off was on the powerplay when he got walked, and that was the one time of the game he wasn't paired with Corrado. I want this going into the playoffs: Hamhuis - Bieksa Edler - Corrado Garrison - Alberts Those are 3 big, physical defensive pairings that can all score goals as well. Obviously Corrado and Alberts will get less special team minutes, so our top-4 of Hamhuis/Bieksa/Edler/Garrison should all be munching up around 20-22 minutes a game.

Blue & Green Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Loved what Corrado showed tonight but he looked like a secondary story on defense to me. Alberts is playing ridiculously good out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem30 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Our core gonna be very solid for years to come we have just oozing so much especially with Corrado man... this guy has been good in his first game really good plays and that first hit damn...

Navyblue Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 To the guy saying Corrado is the only Gillis draft, well, Kassian technically is too as he's a trade from one. I thought Corrado looked great out there. He has the energy to keep up and seemed to fit right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxgoalie Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Do NHL playoffs count towards his 5 game thingy? Sorry if its been asked earlier in the thread, I don't have the time to got through every single post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think people are too quick to write off MG by not looking far enough He's found or drafted Tanev, Schroeder, Corrado, Hodgson (which in turn brought Kassian), Jensen All these players have now seen NHL time in their young careers already and it wont be for a while until we see them at their full potential. When team's prospects get ranked, lots of people look at overall group (in terms of numbers and depth) but who really cares about depth of prospects. I firmly believe in the NHL, the most important thing is you have youth with above average to high end talent and we have that. I could care less that we don’t have an abundance of players that can play the 3rd and 4th line Tanev and Corrado are future top 4 players Schroeder, kassian and Jensen are top 6 material. We can always fill 3rd and 4th line with NHL vets who don’t command much money. The important thing is that we have a strong top 6 for defence and 2-3 solid forward lines and we have that for YEARS to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck fan in Calgary Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Gillis sucks at drafting/developing. He was great tonight, I had a feeling he would have a strong start in the NHL. It became apparent to me throughout the lockout that he was better than Connaution who we thought was close to ready last year. I could see him stepping in and playing in an important depth role like Tanev in 2011. Although Corrado right now isn't as much of a toothpick as Tanev was then. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMash Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Well kassian is on the 4th line as of last game so this is still early to judge kassian. Oh that's right he scored last night, now everyone thinks he's a bertuzzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
