To be determined. We have another 7 years to get a conclusion. Imo so far- meh: Guy gets points, but the team didn't really improve guy gets points, but will give up on plays from time to time guy gets points, but coughs up the puck, in dangerous areas, too much for many peoples liking. But hey, early days yet-still another 7 years after this one to decide.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB s#!@ the bed. Plain and simple. Their leading scorer for that round was... ERIC CERNAK with 3 points in 4 games, the only TB player with 3 points. In 4 games TB allowed 19 goals against while scoring 8. But please continue, it's good for a laugh. When did I say it was on Miller? I simply pointed out that Tampa Bay, as a team with Miller, went out in R1 as a PT winner. Then, without Miller, won the cup twice. I'm not saying there is a direct correlation, so any thought of that would be "your words, not mine". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Just now, Master Mind said: It's not a difficult concept to understand both Vancouver and Tampa did well in the Miller deal. Tampa obviously had greater benefits with their cup wins, but that doesn't make it a bad trade for them. Yes both teams benefited from that trade. I Wouldn’t have cared as a fan of Tampa Bay in the slightest. I would tell people 2 cups baby if there was ever an argument. On the other hand it’s ignorant to say we didn’t make out greatly on our end too. Any team in the league would have done that trade if they knew they were getting a ppg player. The ignorance is real 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do rebuilders not make the moves they do to ultimately win a cup? Ultimately (key word here), did Vancouver set out to acquire Miller to potentially compete for a Stanley Cup, or was it simply to see if he could score 100 points? Everything I have said makes sense. One day you will see I was telling you the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been a Canucks fan for a long time like a lot here. The main goal is a Stanley cup but I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t enjoy it. Enjoy the player achievements. Enjoy the games, the players, the moments. Be a complete waste of time just bitching about everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
