Canucks sign Frank Corrado

Quote:
Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks President & General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have signed defenceman Frank Corrado.
Corrado, 18, averaged 20:46 ice time per game, blocked four shots and was +1 through two NHL Pre-Season games played with the Vancouver Canucks in 2011.

The Woodbridge, Ontario native spent the 2010.11 season with the Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Hockey League, collecting 30 points (4-26-67) in 67 games.

The 6’0”, 188-pound defenceman was selected by the Vancouver Canucks in the fifth round, 150th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Corrado has been assigned to his junior club, the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL.

i'm glad they let go of Legace. no offense to him, but he sucked it up pretty badly in goal.

Corrado looked pretty promising. I can definitely see him as a top 4 defenceman in the future

Looks like I'm going to my first NHL game!

Canucks vs Sharks Jan 21 with Saucywoman. It's a 1pm game but if I went to a later game I run into the issue of not being able to catch a ferry back to Bowen and spending a night.

I wanted to pop my NHL cherry with the Leafs game but couldn't get tickets.

What the fuck? You've never been to a game?

And there's no way Anson Carter is a blacker name than Wayne Simmons.

I know eh. Leisure activities were a low priority in the family budget even though my family was upper-middle class in terms of income and neighbourhood. I was one of those kids that never went to Disneyland, never traveled beyond North America, had to wear clothes from Kmart, ate the no-name/imitation brands, etc. I kinda took the same approach as an adult with my own income. Another factor was that until August, I lived in Kamloops with no NHL team so attending a game in Vancouver would have included travel and hotel costs.

I've been to countless WHL games over the years and the Brad May and Friends game in Kamloops during the lockout so that's gotta count for something!

Vigneault an idiot? The silly season begins

I’m not sure what is more absurd: the idea that Alain Vigneault is a buffoon and the biggest obstacle to the Canucks winning the Stanley Cup, or that evidence of this is that the pre-season-opening deployment of Cody Hodgson reflects the coach’s determination to see his top prospect fail – even at the expense of the team’s success.

You can see my dilemma. Which theory is less sensible?

Vigneault is easily the winningest coach in franchise history, a three-time (in eight seasons) NHL coach-of-year finalist who has pushed every significant Canuck player to his best season and whose winning percentage makes Pat Quinn look like Tom Watt. (No offence to the big Irishman, although I doubt he’s surfing the web to read hockey blogs).

And Hodgson is one exhibition game into his third full training camp and, at age 21, remains an excellent NHL prospect. The thing that has hindered Hodgson nearly as much as injuries is the constant stream of gossipy stories – real and imagined – about his relationship to the Canucks, his teammates, the GM and the coach.

Please, for once, can we just let Cody Hodgson play? If he’s good enough to be in the NHL this season, he’ll prove it and be on the Canucks. Vigneault’s only agenda is to win.

I dont get this. How is deploying Cody in the preseason reflective of AV wanting him to fail? Am I missing something :fulloffuck:

Deploying him with 4th line plugs is pretty bad. Then having AV say he didn't even watch the tape of the game is even worse.

Im not sure who he lined up with vs Calgary but i know he played with at least Owen Nolan against the Edm. Hes decent lol.

Maybe AV was just kidding about not watching the tapes:troll:
Hodgson looked good anyways. looks like his skating is up to par

There's no question that the banana peel was meant to be racist, i mean seriously who the hell eats a banana at a hockey game? Lol. Sad that we have to deal with this shit before the season starts.
