Corrado got called up by the Canucks so I would think Polasek or Sauve will draw in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I don't think anything official's been made about Corrado yet - it could just be that he's been notified by the Canucks that they intend to call him up once the Wolves' season is finished today. I suppose we'll find out soon enough. Prediction: Arneil either dresses as many AHLers as he can or finally puts in all the Canucks prospects. Either extreme would be a fitting end to the season.

stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Schroeder is a healthy scratch. Wow. I mean, they could just be protecting him from injury due to his impending call-up, but Sweatt, Jensen, and others are playing... Archibald, Gordon, Vandermeer, Desbiens, Mallet, Andersson the other Canucks scratches. So perhaps Schroeder just is being rested, since Archibald, Gordon, and Vandermeer (all regulars) are scratched as well (and figure to be among the call-ups). Cannata starts. A bit late for that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxFan09 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 The above tweet suggests the Wolves are scratching most Canucks property to keep them healthy for the NHL playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Canucks prospects playing: Jensen, Sweatt, Sauve, Polasek, Lain, Blomstrand, Rodin, Grenier, Friesen, Cannata. Poor Alex Mallet doesn't even get a shot in a meaningless game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Schroeder, Vandermeer, and Archibald are likely getting called up. Now that we've clinched a playoff spot we should rest some regulars and see what we've got with some of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxFan09 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Jeff Hoggan scores for the Griffins. 1-0 Griffins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Griffins get called for slashing and the Wolves will get their 1st of the night. And right off the bat Jeff Hoggan scores his 2nd of the game shorthanded. The Wolves gave up the puck at the line easily and Hoggan wasted no time rushing in and burying his 20th of the season. 2-0 Griffins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Not surprised. The Griffins actually have a system and set lines. The players know how to play with each other. The Wolves have different players in the lineup every night, and the lines are constantly different. Maybe if Cannata had played a game in the last 3 weeks he could stand on his head better. But lack of playing time is clearly hurting his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuxFan09 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 On a side note, Cannata has not really impressed me this season. He started out great, and he hasn't been bad, per se, he just hasn't been really impressive when given the nod. That being said, he's had absolutely no opportunity to get in a rhythm. Early in the season when he was actually getting consistent starts he was doing very well. Then when Climie got healthy, Cannata's only appearances in net were pretty much relief efforts whenever Climie was pulled. Those games are generally bad games to begin with so Cannata was kind of always thrown into the fire in those situations. In any case, we'll get a better read on him if he's the starter for the new farm team next year or at least a backup getting a steady diet of games.

Erik Karlsson Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If Archibald could somehow slot in the 4th line that would be sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
