ButcherG Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think its time for some Kudos for our goalie.He took a lot of heat last season, with the Lack competition, and his contract et al.This season, Miller has been earning his keep in a big way. He has kept this team in a lot of close games, and has stole a couple already.Hope he can keep the wheels on the cart all year long, and turn up his game in the playoffs.

-AJ- Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 He's surprised me. I had relatively low expectations of him; I expected him to be a 20-30 starter in the league, but he's arguably been in the top 10 thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Zamboni Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 he has been hot!!welcome to Miller-Time my friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Buzzsaw* Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yes.But I can also see signs he is starting to burn out.They need to get Markstrom playing regularly and give Miller a chance to catch his second wind or we will see another injury.

elvis15 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think there's a typo in your name, it should read *Buzzkill*But he's been very good and I'm glad to see he hasn't had any major lag time to find his form again after the long injury layoff. Now just to get Markstrom back so we can find out if he is the goalie Benning hopes so we have a transition plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyhee Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yes.But I can also see signs he is starting to burn out.They need to get Markstrom playing regularly and give Miller a chance to catch his second wind or we will see another injury.He's definitely been excellent. otoh, how many people outside B.C. would consider as MVP a goalie with the league's 19th best save percentage, 16th best GAA who is tied for 13th in wins while being tied for 2nd in games played?Those numbers don't do Miller's performance so far this year justice, but if thinking MVP people are going to consider them.As to whether he's really been the league's most valuable player to his team, I have to confess not following the season closely enough to judge the contributions made by players on other teams. I'd agree he's been the mvp for the Canucks so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks Prophet Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 That's a no-brainer in my opinion. As far as veteran players are concerned, he's been the most impressive so far by a long shot. Won us more than a couple games that we didn't deserve, and got us a few bonus OT points as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I always liked the signing. The man is a veteran goaltender for Christ's sake. It baffles me that people hate on him even when he plays well. I hope he stays healthy this season, but Markstrom still gets 20+ games. I think there's a typo in your name, it should read *Buzzkill*Hah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
