Blowing 2 and 3 goal leads is a perfect way to make it SEEM like we are trying. Miller is taking one for the team here. He is playing his role perfectly in our stealth tank for Bedard...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Sounds like BB has finally done what the fans want - Miller to wing, Boeser scratched (healthy or not), Aman moved up to 3C. He's doing everything he can, can't blame the coach on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 i don't agree with the boeser scratching.. if we are holding players accountable the first player that should be scratched is Miller. Boeser isn't doing much.. but he has more points than Miller and he's not costing the team defensively the way Miller is.. if Boeser is useless right now. Miller is beyond useless.. Boeser at least looks like he's trying.. Miller straight up dont give a damn and have to be confronted by Schenn.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser at least looks like he's trying.. Miller straight up dont give a damn and have to be confronted by Schenn.. Agree with this entirely, but I think there must be different ways to manage different players and their egos. BB scratched Garland, he comes out and plays a whale of a game and scores a goal. Garland seems to respond to that sort of treatment. I don't know if Boeser will, I don't think he does, but he hasn't been bad in my books. Sure he's floating a bit but all the Canucks are, and he is racking up assists and not a liability defensively. As for Miller I'd love to scratch him but who knows how he'd take that sort of treatment. Maybe moving him to the wing is punishment/insult enough to get him going again. Some players take a healthy scratch as a wakeup call, I think it might bruise Miller's ego far too much and end up being more detrimental in the long run. I also think the Canucks have decided that after signing this big deal, they have hitched their wagon to Miller - they have to get the most out of him and get him playing better. They can't just trade him/scratch him/ignore him, they have to work with him because our success or failure relies on him. Moving him to the wing is the perfect balance, props to BB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving him to the wing is the perfect balance, props to BB. tbh boeser struggling out of the gate is to be expected.. he is coming off a hand surgery and missing training camp again. sure it's not the wrist but hand surgery can affect the way he's gripping his stick. the issue i have with moving Miller to the wing.. sure he won't be as big of a liability.. but how does it make him try harder and give a damn? really it's up to the player.. it's their work ethic and attitude that dictates their play. 25 minutes ago, cripplereh said: No Miller is over doing it getting upset at himself and others.Brock needs a seat and to start playing hockey,well same with Miller. lol over doing what? he's literally doing nothing except tape to tape passes to the other team putting his teammates in horrible position and throws temper tantrum when confronted by teammates about it.. i have no issue with Miller turning the puck over if he's at least giving a damn hassling his ass back into the play to stop the chance.. but he's not just like last years and the year before and all his years in tampa and ny.. he's been the exact same player defensively throughout his career. all offense and no defense... if we are to rank the 3 worse canucks Miller is #1 boeser and demko is close behind maybe mikheyev too but he's just back from injury so he gets benefit of the doubt. Demko have one of the worse goaltending stats amongst starters.. his sv% is slightly better than fleury only.. we can say defence is bad.. well so is rangers tbh.. the amount of saves shesterkin have to make is pretty crazy if u watch their games... Demko needs to give his team a chance to win.. and he's giving his team 0 chance to win with 4+ goals against every game.. he needs to come and steal a game and have yet to done that.

Unless mgt severely knee caps the roster. We’re just not that bad , hey that could be the new slogan for this season “ Come out and spend half your pay cheque, We’re not that bad “ We ain't half bad. We're half good! People talking about Bedard are silly. No matter where you land it's still a lottery... even if you're last your chances are low. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
