Post-Game Talk: Canucks 2 @ Panthers 1| Over 200 minutes of MillerTime.

[Blob Mckenzie*]

Considering his rough start to the year, then yes it is quite impressive. Maybe not for you but it is for me!

Yeah it's doubtful this team is 11 games over .500 with Lack and Markstrom carrying the load this year.

Since we're all on Kassian-Watch 2015:

I think he was okay. Made some stupid decisions but seemed to make an effort to be more involved in plays. A better defensive effort for him. I hope he continues to build upon it.

I would agree with your assessment. He had a couple good hits and set up Matthias for a good scoring chance but several of his breakouts were either picked off or went into the other player's skates. I really hope he gets into a few games in a row. He seems like the kind of player that needs to play more games so he can get into a groove. His game is based in passing and when he's rusty from not playing his passes are just a little off.

Red herring false dichotomy.

If you roast it with a nice vegetable medley it's quite good.

Well. Hes posted back to vaxk sgutouts before.in. this very season.

Lets hope he finds some consistency and doesnt swing back from one extreme to the next.

Red herring false dichotomy.

Misused buzzwords.

Hey man, I'd rather be proven wrong for the better of the team than right for the worse.

He had a great first shift, but was otherwise a non-factor.

By your definition, this is a false dichotomy and a red herring.

Imagine a goalie that goes through good stretches and bad ones!
Like pretty much every goalie in the NHL.

Anyone have Miller's updated stats? It looks like he was already in Top 5 in wins, Top 10 in GAA and just outside Top 10 for SV%

He's 15th (multi tie) in SV%, 2nd (tied) in shutouts and 5th in wins.

Not sure about GAA standings.

0.919 and a 2.28 i believe

Every goalie in the NHL has had back to back shutouts twice and been in the bottom of the league in save% at one point? Every player has ups and downs, but Miller's been more extreme at either end than most.

 

[valkynax]

Good win.

Having Hammer back, it seems, had been huge on our D.

I also do miss Lou a lot (not saying Miller is bad though).

 

[GetFocht]

Miller is playing elite hockey, since December 21st, he's been the top goaltender of the league

Hopefully this can be reposted in June.

Oh my god it would be so happy.

People said the same about Luongo. He started out poorly every year and then got better as the year went on. Every single year. Miller reminds me a lot of Luongo plus he was playing with a new team this year. He should have been expected to take a while to round into form.

Miller didn't start poorly though. He started really well, then sucked, then went on a tear, then was utterly god awful, then was the best in the NHL.

Having said that though, probably an inconsistent .915 goalie is better than a consistent one, you just hope the timing lines up with the playoffs (unlike last year, when they lined up with BadMiller.) Hey, we're due!

I will forgo every birthday and Christmas present for the rest of my life if that happens.

True.
But a .919 goalie like Miller is even better than that guy.
