Bo is a good captain, but is now in the learning stage of becoming a great captain. He might even become a lifetime Canucks, somewhat like Linden. My impression of Miller is that he views the Canucks as his team and will do whatever it takes to win games. Even if he has to carry the team on his back. He is a huge mentor for Bo, as well as many others on the team. I suspect that Schmidt has similar characteristics to Miller. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just thinking fitness level wise and whenever a player comes back in they normal do a couple. But then again... different feel this year, isn't it. We need all our players, playing asap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, so he had the most minutes played by a forward last night(21 minutes), had 1 shot on goal, 0 points and 0 hits? I guess he was just waiting for Miller to rejoin the team? The team needed a pick up last night, especially after a loss the game before so I was expecting the leaders to lead the team to at least an inspired game. Heck even "whipping boy" Jake had a hit and 3 shots last night with half the ice time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alienhuggyflow Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 34 minutes ago, PhillipBlunt said: Exactly. If Miller’s absence causes that much of a drop off in production, there are far bigger issues at hand than just one player. I think 2 games is a little small of a sample size to be worrying about production. Every game I've watched all different divisions the skilled players have either lacked consistency or have been pretty much invisible. It was pretty obvious last night the Nucks had no legs, just like game seven against Vegas. Plus without the PP, guys like #97, #29, AM who have all had 1 good game because of the PP.

Quote It's unclear why Hughes wasn't at practice Sunday but it could simply be a maintenance day. The 21-year-old blueliner was on the ice for over 26 minutes in each of his last two games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never has a lazy shift 3. 71% in faceoffs last night and always is put in the most difficult situations 4. always plays the last minutes of the game offensively or defensively 5. always takes on the opposing teams top lines Captain Bo does it all 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have gone for 3 tests so far which means quarantine until you get the negative results back. Only a few days, but times 3 and I'm so over this COVID deal. For me, it meant being stuck here alone. The first time, with no groceries in the house as I wasn't prepared at all. I get it, JT. Crappy year is right. What pi**ed me off was the holding of toilets paper and basic groceries. As someone with Crohns TP is a must lol. The fact that I was told to avoid people at first due to type1 and Crohns so having to go out multiple times to multiple stores to find things as basic as FFin eggs milk butter etc was super annoying. This was in Surrey so maybe it was different in areas with smaller average families? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 As much as I like Mac and I think he will get better I haven’t noticed him out there. Seems a step behind but I guess that’s been most players last game. Time for JT to get the boys going. Woo I’m excited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
