#Canucks have recalled defenceman Yannick Weber from the AHL @UticaComets. http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=695035

This probably means Edler will be out for at least a couple of weeks.

Stole the power play joke early. Well done.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

corrado needs more time in the AHL, pretty much their only option at this point

 

[Ernie]

Weber has been on fire down there, 7 points in 7 games. Deserves a reward.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Would much rather see Weber in the lineup than Alberts. Would allow Garrison to move over to his strong side and give the Canucks a more balanced top 4.

Hamhuis Tanev
Garrison Bieksa
Stanton Weber

It would also be nice to have a RH shot on the point and a guy that excels with the man advantage.

Unfortunately, Tortorella will probably prefer the stiffness of Alberts package.

You might want to re-phrase that DtS.

Nnnnoooooooooooooo.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Deserved. Unless a top four guy goes down, I can't see Corrado getting a call.

Hopefully he gets a shot on the PP at some point.

 

[WinterEmpire]

I'm fine with Weber getting the call, he needs an actual chance to show what he can do

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Good, I hope he gets some games in and is given a shot on the PP. With Edler gone, we could use a little more offensive punch from our blueline.

nsfw???

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

i didn't see all of last game, but wasn't it garrison/hamhuis on the first unit, and bieksa/tanev on the second? it's like whoever's in charge of the PP is going out of his way not to have different handed shots on the point.

 

[The Stig]

He's been hot down there. Deserves the call-up

 

[LeftCoast]

So ... Sestito sits?

 

[TheWanderer]

Oh man... I'm pretty sure I'd rather we just play Alberts...

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

awww yeah! time to go buy my #6 Weber Canucks jersey.

I didn't really follow the news very closely after Schneider was traded or the pre-season, etc. When I was in a pub during the pre-season and they were showing a Canucks game, I saw a goal by "#6 - Weber" and just about dropped my beer for a second.

 

[Bgav]

Put him on the pp please

 

[member 202355]

I prefer Corrado, but he's better than Alberts.

 

[RonMacLean]

Yeah he's been doing really well in Utica. Would be interesting if he got a shot on the secondary PP unit
