Zfetch Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Miller happens to perform worse when he gets more days off. In a weird ascending fashion. This doesn't apply much to today, but in general this seems to be a trend with Miller. Also, not like any of you didn't know, but when he looses, he looses bad. For the sake of the people, I also included Schneiders stats this season. Schneider, unlike Miller happens to be performing completely opposite to that of Miller. Coincidence?

Boninorama Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 He's just in a tough slump right now. Hopefully he breaks out of it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Isn't that the same concept for almost every goalie? The more rest goalies have, the less game action they see. Especially for starting goalies. They prefer the workload as they're in game mode 24/7. Give them a night off and have them come back in a few days later, their timing won't be as good as it was a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, if you overplay a goaltender, they tend to get fatigued and let in more than your average bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I dunno, he was awesome in Oct-Nov, after maybe 4ish months off.... (Edit- nope, I take it back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I dunno, he was awesome in Oct-Nov, after maybe 4ish months off.... He was literally ass the first two months of the season You know, when he was posing a 3rd worst 900% through twenty games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyM Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 He's had some bad games that are surely blowing up some numbers in such small sample sizes, but that's a bit staggering that there is almost a half a goal difference in GAA in each of the rows for rest days. Would think they'd be a little more even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. I had forgotten about his brutal averages because I remember a 10-2 start. Deeerrrpp. I retract my previous comment. The TEAM was waaaay better after a 4 month rest.

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Funny, because that reminds me of Luongo. Always felt Lu played his best hockey when he was playing a lot more, but when he played less and sat more he wasn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying when there's a game every other night for about two or three weeks. I was thinkingMiller would have been getting all of the starts up until this Saturday when it's a back to back albeit at home. 7 starts in a row (Minny, Winnipeg, SJ, Pitt, Minny again (tonight), Chi, Boston) then get the night off against Calgary on Saturday and then back at it on Monday against Minny again. Thats what I was thinking anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luongo#1 fan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 He hasn't performed well consistently ALL season! his 3 shutout streak wasn't even him standing on his head. Vancouver will not win a cup with Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver will not win a cup with Miller. Well, the latter is common sense. Mostly because the roster is composed of a first line, and then three third lines, and on defense we have 3 top four guys, and then six #6's.

JamesB Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Not necessarily, if you overplay a goaltender, they tend to get fatigued and let in more than your average bear. Makes sense. And interesting numbers in the OP. I am inclined to say "small sample" but maybe there is some systematic effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I wouldn't take much away from a sample size like this. At least not without looking at Miller's career numbers on 0,1,2,3,4 days rest etc. If the same pattern held, then maybe there's something to it. Otherwise, I'd tend to assume that these numbers are skewed by the fact that Desjardins rode Miller pretty heavy early in the season when we were winning a ton of games (many of them in spite of some very lackluster performances in net). Remember when we were scoring tons of goals and winning most of our games with offense from four lines? Remember how hard it was fo Lack to get starts during that hot streak? Might be part of what we're seeing in these numbers--but I'm too tired to go back and check things. In any case, the totals are just too small here to draw any meaningful conclusions.

LM11 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The Canucks haven't won a cup with any goalie and this team isn't anywhere near a cup contender with or without Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
