This is good news. I do think Miller has been holding back the first line. He's just not the same as his first year with the Canucks 

I agree, although getting a few points he just throws away too many pucks on high risk finesse plays. Being an offensive player giveaways are expected but not at that level and you also need to deliver to balance it out.

 

Hopefully centering the 3rd line will get him back to a simpler game which might actually make him more effective as well as helping other players on that line and give a better top 9 overall.

I feel that will overwhelm a lot of teams.  I'd love to see Motte with Pods and JT once he is back.  Each of our top 3 lines would have a tenacious little POS to play against.

Vancouver Canucks have the deepest midget depth bar none :lol:

Whatever the combination of lines.  The Canucks are not having trouble generating shots, just goals.  We have averaged over 39 shots per game and allowed just 30.  I think it is just that the main offensive weapons only had 1 preseason game, or are new, or were injured, etc...  They will gel as they get a feel for playing with each other and the league will fear our offense!

 

Go Canucks Go!

I had a feeling it was just a maintenance day for hughes.

Yep, it was a well deserved maintenance day with the minutes he was logging.

 

Oct. 13 against the Oilers: 27:02.

Oct. 15 against the Flyers: 26:46.

Oct. 16 against the Red Wings: 29:09.

I'm hoping for a convincing win....that's needed at this stage to quiet down the naysayers.  Won't be easy.

 

This isn't an easy gig, this NHL deal.  You don't win all the games all the time.  But I'd love a good win here for this one to build some momentum.

It's been 3 games and we've played okay the at very least, there are naysayers already?

Unless it's the playoffs, no one should be playing that many minutes.

 

Yes, we were trailing in the game against the Red Wings, but playing half of the game doesn't make any sense.

 

I wanted Rathbone in the AHL to develop but since they chose to keep him in the lineup, they should trust him and give him more minutes even in the third period.

Top D-men play high minutes all over the league. For a guy as young as Hughes that can skate the way he does, it's not really a problem.

 

You saw him in OT vs the Flyers, he wouldn't get off the ice himself.

 

He'll be fine. He's getting paid like a horse now, he should be deployed/play like one.

I'm off today so that's what I meant. :P

I work tomorrow. 

Me too!   But I'm off at 4:00 (home by 4:09 if I hit all the lights)

 

Car's in the shop and if he calls me to pick it up after work it'll have to be "around 7:30'ish"
