Is this more acceptable: you can paint a pig, but it's still a pig? we really are not a very well coached team, which makes us look a lot worse than we should look.

coastal.view Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 the title to this topic makes is sound like willie somehow misused or abused miller miller played a lot early in the season mostly due to markstrom being injured and unable to play then markstrom played a lot more recently when miller was injured they really have only both been available for short periods of time so far this season we have no idea yet how willie actually we use them but i'm thinking 2/3 miller, 1/3 markstrom which is ok in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just do not see Miller being overplayed at all and why you would think he would be is beyond me.We have two goalies that are playing great and Willie knows this and is why he won't play one way more then the other.I really do not get this thread?????

What if it's crap wrapped in bacon? i love our team too, and think our young guys are fast becoming our best players - next to the Twins. Bo and the boys up front, and Hutton on D. Then there's Marky in net too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just recognizes that he probably should give our starter a break because of the amount of work he has put up with in the past two games. Almost 100 shots in two games... It is not like this is NHL 16 and he controls all the players on the ice at once. It is a team game. Coach can only help so much, especially if he is given a fringe team that is riddled with injuries and with a lot of inexperience. It is the players need to do their jobs in front of our goalie and they have not as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 He's one of the best goalies when he's on his game, I just don't think WD knows how to get it. We should really try and spell our goalies because they're both fantastic when they're red hot. I think maybe string of 3 games at a time might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the way the D is playing right now the goalies are getting worked alot harder than normal, so it's a little different. I think if Markstrom plays well in Boston he should get Pittsburgh too. No playing politics, just ride the hot hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Markstrom plays well in Boston he should get Pittsburgh too. No playing politics, just ride the hot hand. It's tricky, because it looks like they need to get into a real rhythm to play their best, but if they go beyond that they get burned out. Likewise if they sit for too long, they become rusty. I think with the goalies we have though, we might be able to make it work. It appears Miller takes a little longer to shake off the rust, but can play at his peak for longer than Markstrom who (so far) appears to be ready just about any game and can turn it on after maybe 1 game, but cannot sustain his play for extremely long periods which is common between veterans and young goalies. With that in mind, maybe we should consider riding the hot hand, so to speak, in waves. For example, give Miller 4 or 5 games in a row with a couple of spot starts here and there for Markstrom, then when Miller starts to show fatigue (or ideally prophylactically) we give the goalies a 50:50 split of games, then wean onto Markstrom while giving Miller a few spot starts to keep him relatively fresh, and then back on to Miller and vice versa in a sort of ebb-and-flow technique. Sounds complicated, and would probably be hard to pull off, but I think that's how we'd get the most out of our two goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Canucks, but sometimes a piece of crap is a piece of crap. That Leafs team that had "no legitimate shot" came within 51 seconds of eliminating the 5th overall Bruins. It took an epic collapse never before seen in Cup history for them not to win the round. If you're in, you're not out. The 82 Canucks team were decent team with a goaltender so hot, you couldn't get a dime past him. Rode that all the way to the finals. (OK, then we got destroyed, but the Isle's were a dynasty at the time) And even if we lose in the first round, it's playoff experience for the new guys. So, I'd like to see our guys make the playoffs. Just don't do anything stupid to get there. Like signing declining FA's to big dollars and term.

If the rest of the team starts to play at the level he has, we've got a shot at making it. The defense... If the Canucks aren't tanking for Matthews, they really should do something about their defense. One T1D in and the Canucks have a much better chance at winning the Cup. However, usually deadline deals just disturb the already established chemistry. I'm hoping for a vet sell off at the deadline. Benning seems to benefit from his trades much more than most.
