zverta Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Canucks' Miller won't skate for another three weeks Ryan Miller, The Canadian Press The Vancouver Canucks will likely be heading into the playoffs without their top goaltender. According to TSN's Farhan Lalji, Ryan Miller will not start skating for at least three weeks which means by the time he is ready to return to game action, the team could be into the first round of the playoffs. The 34-year-old Miller suffered a lower-body injury in late February when teammate Jannik Hansen crashed into him. The original timeline for the injury was 4-6 weeks. In his first year with the Canucks Miller has appeared in 44 games with a 28-15-1 record, a 2.47 goals against average, and a .913 save percentage. All expectations now are that should the Canucks make the playoffs, Eddie Lack will be in net to start. http://www.tsn.ca/canucks-miller-won-t-skate-for-another-three-weeks-1.234216 *So we all good with Lack rolling in the playoffs; even when Ryan Miller becomes healthy?

Just thought it was interesting, What do you think about Miller coming into the playoffs cold, or do you think Lack might get some playoff games?

Tangerines Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd rather have a hot Lack over a cold Miller (unless its in a bottle) starting for us in the playoffs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 If we play the Kings doesn't matter who's in net we will end up losing anyways. If it's the flames this it can go either way and in that case this will be a huge blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMorrison 7 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 We don't need Ryan Miller, it was a mistake to sign the guy in the first place. Just look at how much better Lack is playing without the canucks constantly switching goalies. Lack is getting into a groove. However I think it would be nice to get Markstrom in a game very soon. Columbus maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwainbro Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Really hope this isn't true.. WD said Miller is 2-3 weeks away couple games ago. Were not gonna make it past round 1 with Miller out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireGillis Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Miller who? This is lack's team now and he's better anyways so the only chance the canucks have of advancing is with lack so this is a blessing in disguise. Takes the option of playing the golden boy out of Willie's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 This is horrible news because now you will have a cold Miller in net for the playoffs. Furthermore, knowing our coach, there will no way he plays Lack over Miller. I don't know how a cold Miller, who has been away from hockey, will do in the playoffs. This is a disaster!

brownky Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Top goaltender right now is Lack. And he's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_fo_life Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Horrible news, Miller was on top of his game, and just like last season, Lack will be burnt out down the stretch, unless they believe Markstrom can come in and give Lack a rest, which he hasn't had since Feb 19th vs the Rangers. The Canucks are in a playoff race, do they risk starting Markstrom in some key games coming up? You guys see what I'm getting at here? This Miller injury has a trickle down affect.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 concerning how some Canucks fans are happy because it means by default Lack plays. give your a head a bloody shake. Lack is still questionable and a wild card right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was hoping for Miller to get hot and steal a series or two. This is horrible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
