Mustapha Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Just stating the obvious. People were so sure Lack was the saviour. Like I stated before, Miller is the #1 goalie and he plays like it. 4 goals allowed in the 3rd period. Goaltending meltdown in classic Cloutier/Luongo fashion.

RU SERIOUS Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Indeed it is. He did no better than Luongo in this big game - letting in 5 goals - for $7,500,000.00. Great value - eh? Trade him down to California where he wants to be and give Lach the keys to the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I wouldn't say any of their goals where weak... He should have played better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I wouldn't say any of their goals where weak... He should have played better though. No matter who was in the defence was ass this whole series. Something needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtis Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You people sound so dumb!!! He just came back from a long leave...Very rusty... Anyone would be! He wasn't even 100%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Anybody still think Lack was the problem? Even with 4 goals scoring support, Miller couldn't get it done. Totally his fault right? If only he could have made the right saves at the right time...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You people sound so dumb!!! He just came back from a long leave...Very rusty... Anyone would be! He wasn't even 100%... which is why his leave may ideally have been longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You people sound so dumb!!! He just came back from a long leave...Very rusty... Anyone would be! He wasn't even 100%... we needed a boost, if he can wear the ballcap, then he can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigUncle16 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 4 goals allowed in the 3rd period. Goaltending meltdown in classic Cloutier/Luongo fashion. Not even close. Cloutier/Luongo had decent defense. Plus I blame WD for putting in Miller when everyone in the world knew he wasn't 100%. Eddie Lack took us into the playoffs and lets in one bad goal and he gets yanked. I'm really not impressed with WD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two drink minimum Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Miller really needed to play better. If you're going to be paid 6 mill then you better show up when the chips are down. Not his fault Van didn't score more in game one but damn! where was he tonight? Very dissappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two drink minimum Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Miller needs to go. Free up the cap space for a stud Dman. Just do it.Best thing Benning could do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-- Alexander 89 Mogilny -- Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Canucks won tonight, Miller lost. If he gets his head out of his ass and listens to Rollie, he'd play deeper in his net. Why do you think flames kept trying back door plays? They don't always try those plays...if he plays deeper, he makes the saves. Also, Willie's an idiot. If Miller was 100% he would've made that first save on the 2 on 1, he didn't have the strength in his leg to push off. And if he could make that save...Lack would've also. If Lack plays, we're going to game 7. And we win. Hindsight is 20/20...I know. But Willie made some huge mistakes this series...If he doesn't improve next year he better have a short leash.

Dion Phaneuf Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Still don't understand why we didn't just run with Lack. Miller wasn't ready, still showed that he wasn't 100% for playoff hockey. Absolute garbage tonight. Out of position a lot. But then the entire team collapsed after the 1st period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 A couple of chances early but Miller makes some big stops. I think our D is too used to playing in front of a veteran goalie. Just stating the obvious. People were so sure Lack was the saviour. Like I stated before, Miller is the #1 goalie and he plays like it. If this was playing like our #1 goalie, we're in for a long two years. Really, he shouldn't have been playing except to relieve the guy who was actually healthy and had been playing. I put it on WD, not Miller, but then imo WD's goalie handling leaves a lot to be desired much of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Did not like the signing to begin with and hate it even more now. He looked terrible with the Blue's STACKED and arguably the best defensive core in in the league last year, so I'm not sure what Benning saw in him that made him throw a 6mil 3 year contract at him right after.

Jiggs50 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I still can't believe a healthy Ryan Miller is sitting on the bench.... Miller = established NHL star Lack = some hyped up guy All messed up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade him down to California where he wants to be and give Lach the keys to the car! No Californian team wanted him when he was a UFA so they won't even trade a bag of pucks for him. Also, Eddie's last name is Lack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Fans on here couldn't wait to get Miller back in net. The fact that his last 15 games before his injury were subpar meant little. He came back into this series off a injury which should have kept him out until at least the 2nd round. That said Benning should have traded Miller going into the March deadline prior to his injury. Wishful thinking on my part but that would have been the optimal scenario. He has less value now but might be part of a bigger deal which could achieve the same result. Oddly enough the loss last night probably gives Benning the opportunity to make the big changes he probably wanted to do all along. The Van org is fighting a perception battle with the fan base. This loss probably makes the fanbase more open to radical change. IMHO the fundamental approach to the game has to change in Vancouver. Currently it is tilted to far to the finesse approach which the Twins are so good at. They are so world class that I think it has resulted in the entire roster trying to emulate their play. More balance is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Miller still has some fuel left in him, he was one of the top goaltenders for a few years when he played for Buffalo, he had zero impact with St. Louis which is why they unloaded him. But injury got the best of him this year and hopefully he starts fresh after the off season. You people sound so dumb!!! He just came back from a long leave...Very rusty... Anyone would be! He wasn't even 100%... This, that's why Lack was in net for most of the first round. Did not like the signing to begin with and hate it even more now. He looked terrible with the Blue's STACKED and arguably the best defensive core in in the league last year, so I'm not sure what Benning saw in him that made him throw a 6mil 3 year contract at him right after. wtf? You just described Rask with Boston's defense all the way around last year. Miller hardly played that many games with the Blues anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
