Bobby Sanguinetti being injured is putting a bit of a wrench in that plan. For somebody to be pretty much in the pressbox and may get spot duty it may aswell be a vet instead of a young defender that should be playing.
Jensen back up? guess they want to continue rotating Vey in and out of the lineup unless there is some other lingering injuries that we don't really know about. Jensen, like Corrado I hope gets some game time otherwise I'd prefer it to be a vet like DeFazio in the pressbox.
Not so much a problem with Jensen. The Comets are deep in sitting competent forwards.
The take a vet instead of Frankie is a problem. Sanguinetti is injured, but now day to day. Ehrhardt is injured. Huskins is injured. Andersson is injured. Corrado is in Vancouver. That leaves Utica with Biega, Pedan (played one game), Tommernes, Lafranchise, Negrin, and Blain.
The last 3 are ECHL call-ups and inept. The Comets are the second best team in the AHL and desperately trying to make it with 3 bums on D. Taking Sanguinetti, Utica's best D-man, to sit on the bench would be even more detrimental to the Comets than sitting Frankie in Vancouver. If the guy is only there to sit. Take Tommernes. He is able to be recalled, can sit comfortably, and gives the Comets the best chance to defend with only one ECHL bum having to play. Get the Comets D corps healthy again and then take who you want. Right now the Comets are in dire straits trying to keep their heads above water.
If the Canucks suffer another injury, then Utica is left to survive as best they can. Putting them in those circumstances when it's unnecessary could be avoided.
