Alflives Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I think ?Green needs to balance our lines. Put Pods with Petey and Bess. Use Miller as a centre, and have three more balanced lines. Petey, Bess, Miller, and Garland will get a lot of extra cherry minutes on the PP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Create 3 lines that have the ability to push the play, roll them equally, and make sure Petey has someone like Podz or Gadz to make sure no one messes with him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey's not (yet) good enough in the face off circle to anchor a line on his own. If you take Miller away, you'll need to substitute Sutter or Dickinson as the winger (or MacEwen, and he hasn't earned top line status so far) You don't think Podz and Hoagie together can drive a 3rd line? I just watched Nill's comments after the trade and he is really high on Dickinson. If he plays with Hoglander and Podkolzin that line will be dynamite - the opposition might never see the puck!! 1 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember, about 10 games or so into his rookie season, he said faceoffs was the #1 thing he was focusing on in practice. Hasn't paid dividends as of yet, so here's hoping he has been able to work on it during the off season. Losing Manny might turn out to be a bigger loss than we thought at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Petey wants to get 7 - 8 million, he better learn to anchor a line on his own. LOL EP40 "elite" hahahaha but yet needs somebody to drive the line for him. Great players can dictate play. They don't need someone else to prop them up Edited August 9, 2021 by filthycanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need someone else to prop them up While I don't necessarily disagree with your overall sentiment, Pettersson 100% drives whatever line he is on. Not being great at face-offs has nothing to do with driving play after that 2 second event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw Miller last half season carry the mail without Petey and its VERY clear he can command attention driving a line on his own. I don't get why people are automatically putting Motte as a 4th liner. If he wasn't injured, he was having a career year, why peg him in the bottom of the lineup? Have you looked at the numbers, Miller did not drive the line when he played center, his corsi was actually the lowest it has been in a Canucks uniform... Look at any time Miller has played away for Petey and you'll see a pattern. Petey drives the line... Miller as 3C is a terrible idea if he's not playing with someone that can control the play. I don't know how many times I have seen Miller throw a cross ice pass at the oppositions blue line just to get picked off and send the other team in on an odd man rush... Miller is frustrating as hell to watch, sometimes with, but mostly without Petey. Lets just keep Miller 1LW 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsbutcher Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Ok, this kid has been listed anywhere from 6 foot to 6"4 which clearly he is not. Do we have a definitive height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 20 years old... still putting on strength... will probably add another 15-20lbs... I have wished for this a loooong time now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
