NewbieCanuckFan Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just now, IBatch said: To a degree. Green and Bruce had their moments with Miller too. At some point we've just got to all come together as a fanbase and love the guy. Just hope when he's on his down slide we don't forget what he's done for the club (and that it's not for sometime yet). Anyone who says they want to stay and signs and keeps it up is special in my books. In a similiar vein, I haven't forgotten that Myers wasn't all that bad for us the first few seasons for us. Yeah he stinks now but that doesn't change how he played earlier (*my* view). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that 90% of the NHL d-men will make mistakes, and fairly often. Myers was solid otherwise and had been playing great over the last 10 games. He made lots of nice breakout passes and skated the puck out a bunch of times too. We pretty much dominated Montreal yesterday, no issues with him or Juulsen despite the fact that both made a mistake or two. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thing people seemed to miss was that miller was a first round puck when complaining about losing a first round pick on him... always said getting a top line player via a trade was just as good as making a good pick with the first rounder that is often a crap shoot at the best of times... I mean really... how can anyone complain about millers contract or about trading a first round pick for a player who delivers top line production and an obvious passion to deliver on his contract. We are lucky to have Miller. 1 2 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he stinks now but that doesn't change how he played earlier (*my* view). Myers was just fine the first couple seasons, and I for one, really enjoyed what he did for our team in the bubble - wasn't an "enforcer" but was our toughest player/played the hardest. He was fine with OEL his first year too. It's his last season. A little overpaid. Don't think his story is over with us yet either. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are lucky to have Miller. A good learning lesson from the coach to.Sits Miller and gets the right response. Miller plays with passion but at times needs a coach to settle him down and RT seems to know when Miller needs an adjustment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark and Smitty, easy to see why he's playing as well as he has been and showing signs of completing his game but will take more time under Clark's eye but our goalie whisperer is helping him play a calmer game and not so much flopping but better positionally so he doesn't have to, he was caught at it a few times but we had enough of a lead and players helping out so it didn't make that much of a difference but he'll be even better. I trust Clark to help him sort anything he needs help with. I'm not saying he was a slouch when he got here by any means but I'm sure glad we have Clark here to help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are lucky to have Miller. Nobody knows for sure how it will turn out, but... JT is 6'1 - 218 lbs. Is he 37 when his contract expires? (Currently tied for 3rd in NHL scoring with QH! +12) Pavelski - 6'1 - 196 lbs. Still going strong at 39! (13 pts in 14 gp) Miller rarely ever gets injured, even when it looks like he did, after blocking a hard shot. The guy's a bull. Anyway, like you say, we're lucky to have him on our team. If he maintains his fitness, his intensity and desire to play, and barring any unforeseen catastrophes, more than likely, he should still be producing reasonably well, throughout the entire contract. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? Aman looked good for a few games last year, then struggled a bit. He's found it again in Abby. I think, though, that Bains is ripe for promotion. Should have included Raty too. His move to Sasson's wing, opposite Karlsson, has freed him from the somewhat more demanding center's responsibilities and he has thrived I expected more from my avatar, though. Broke Petey's rookie scoring record in the Swedish premier league, has been ok in Abby, but hasn't dominated as I thought he might (in the summer I changed my avatar to HotD's King Viserys, but changed back a couple of weeks ago to try and get LK going again. Let's see if it works) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
