Hyzer Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I'm sure without ever playing an NHL game, he is miles better than Barker. Call him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirooo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 D pairings? Hamhuis- Garrison Edler- Corrado Ballard-Alberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsasaki Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 D pairings? Hamhuis- Garrison Edler- Corrado Ballard-Alberts Edler-Corrado sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. As much as I hate to say it, Ballard-Edler may be a bit better. Or maybe even split up Hamhuis-Garrison? Hamhuis - Edler Garrison - Corrado Ballard - Alberts Edler - Garrison Hamhuis - Ballard Alberts - Corrado One of those two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 So is he called up or not? No official word or tweet confirming he is coming to Vancouver. Just that he will find out this morning but no tweets since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phamda Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Doubt he plays vs Chicago. It would be his 4th game in 4 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigs_eye10 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Doubt he plays vs Chicago. It would be his 4th game in 4 nights. He wasn't in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryndogcanuck Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Here's two clues: 1. He's not listed on the Chicago Wolves roster since yesterday. 2. He is listed on the Canucks roster since yesterday (#58). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganBattleaxe Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Corrado neeeds a big defensibly responsible partner. The kid plays best when he is pinching and when he doesnt have to be the bruiser. Hamhuis might be the best linemate for him. Ballard would be next. Corrado would be too busy baby sitting alberts but a big guy like that is what he is used to. He worked well with Sefton most of the year in Sudbury because Sefton made sure he created space with his big body so Corrado wasn't overmaned. Not to mention he hung back so Corrado could make plays on the rush. I'd put him on the 2nd pp for sure. Now that i think about it Corrado Hamhuis is the only pairing that really makes sense.

elvis15 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I can not agree that Ballard is a defensive specialist. Nor that he's big. Even if Hamhuis' case, he's not the biggest guy but at least plays physical (or has in the past) and definitely is a defensive specialist. I don't know if I'd completely agree on putting the pairings that way based on that logic, but we'll see what happens with Bieksa and Tanev still out.

avelanch Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 we locked up a playoff spot, might as well see what we have in corrado, especially if we will be lacking RHD for any time in the playoffs. the next 2 games will be a great test of his merits in the NHL right now.

Henrik Kesler Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Confirmed, now just to see if he plays and who he pairs with. Well give him the "Tanev Test" which is throwing him into a big game and seeing how he handles it. I'd pair him with Edler, but throwing a kid with 4 AHL games under his belt into a top-4 role against the best team in hockey may be a bit much LOL.

higgyfan Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Is Ballard even playing tonight? If not, Corrado in the lineup before Joslin (I would think). Don't think they would risk putting him on the top 4 in his first NHL game. Edler Garrison Hamhuis Alberts Ballard/Barker Corrado If he looks good, switch him up with Alberts. If Ballard isn't playing, our 3rd pairing needs to have very low minutes. A pretty weak defense against the Hawks tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dasein Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Talk about being thrown into the fire! If he gets called up, his 1st NHL game would be as a Vancouver Canuck against the Chicago Blackhawks One of the best rivalries in hockey today. Called it. And I love his reaction to being thrown into one of the best rivalries in modern day hockey! Ben Kuzma @benkuzma1h Corrado on first NHL game: "There's no better way than just getting thrown into the fire." #canucks The White Towel @whitetowel1h #FrankCorrado: “You’re going to have the same nerves for your first game, no matter who you play.” http://theprov.in/11vYDts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
