Wonder if he's replacing Bieksa?

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Our injury situation is straight up comical. Happy to see Corrado, but losing Bieksa at is stage is yet another critical blow. Bah.

 

[Wisp]

Maybe Utica will call up Subban now...

 

[PhilMick]

Ouch for Utica's playoff push

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Sucks for ours too. This is just ridiculous.

So one Francesco gets injured, and we recall another one? There's a Francesco for every occasion on this team

Maybe Utica will call up Subban now...

Have we even signed him yet? Cuz if we haven't then Utica can't call him up.

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

whats the defenc depth looks like for Utica? do they have enough body to fill in?

Sauve, Tommernes, Andersson, Biega, Huskins, Negrin are the 6 in the A niw that Corrado has been called up... Blain could get call up from the Echl.

Yup Blain was confirmed on their twitter.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Blain was called up. Scratched. Bieksa looks like he plays tonight. Corrado absent for a Comets 2-1 OT loss where his offensive play may have created that 1 extra goal that would have won the game before OT for a team pushing deperately to get into the playoffs.

Ah the trials and tribulations of an AHL franchise whose first obligation is to feed the parent club.

 

[Peen]

Hope we start to build up our ahl defense soon.

Tortorella - Corrado sent back to Utica.

 

[Grub]

Corrado is Garbage. Another case of Mike Gillis raving on a player to a point where he becomes so overrated in this board.

But I guess putting in garbage with the rest of this garbage season makes sense.

The Comets would probably love him back after the ugly 7-2 lost

What a screwup. Canucks didn't want him. Wouldn't have helped tonight, but would have made a world of difference last night.

No screw-up.

It was unclear if Kevin Bieksa would be able to play after being injured last game, so Corrado was called up as insurance. KB3 was declared good to go as a game day decision. Such is life for a team that is a minor league affiliate.

I'd hardly say he is garbage. I think he can be a more offensive Tanev type.

I wouldn't say he is garbage but he's very ordinary. Maybe a bottom pair guy. Not sure if he's ever a full time NHLer

Dman always develop later. Tanev looked like a plug until this year.

If by 'this year' you meant the 'SCF 2011' then yes.

 

[fancouver]

Corrado hasn't even proven anything yet. To say he is more offensive than Tanev makes no sense. Tanev is already a successful top 4 D in the NHL. At 24, Tanev still hasn't tapped his full potential yet.

After 54 games with Utica, Corrado only has 5 goals.

Not saying he's garbage, but I think Corrado is a bit overrated.

Well He has proven that he has the potential, His season he had last year showed that, ending with him playing very well in his role against SJ...

A blind man can see he has more offence then Tanev... He also posses the ability to throw a hit...

Also an interesting point about Tanevs age, I wonder if that can be used for Corrado?
