That will change as we approach the deadline and they are convinced Nucks won't accept a lowball offer.

The Miller hate blows me away.

So subjective and presumptive all the comments about his rep around the league which have, on more than several occasions, been nominated as complete untruths by people who played with him/against him/have intimate knowledge of him, not a bunch of beat down Canuck fan reprobates on a GDHTMB who base statements on personal opinion and only that.

The fucking guy dug in when he got here, played very well for us and then signed a team friendly 8 year deal with no fuss or muss, not like the other guy.

Jesus, he has flaws like most players do, but he's been a very good player for this team and we are just so GD derisive...

I think UK summed it up pretty well.

JT seems to have some mental health issues.

He was quoted as having to try to be a better father, husband through this "whole thing."

Lots of people struggle with their jobs, and take it home. But those types need to get help and work on their shit.

Not shit on their co-workers.

No complaints about Miller until he gets to the drama capital of the world which tells you a lot I think. Body language. The other guy dresses himself up ultra douchey and gets into a sulk all the time.

I'll remember when he stood up for his teammates during the covid bubble and got the schedule changed. That took some balls. It wasn't the captain who took the lead on that as you might expect.

Honestly, all this drama makes me sick.

A few comments;

A goal off the rush and a goal from down low net presence. No goals off point shots. A difference Ricky has been talking about.

I was screaming a Scooter, once again making the wimp move when in a prime slot shooting position, he dishes to Hughes who ha joined the rush, who finds CoHog. Kudos to Karlson for going straight to the net and Hughes for jumping up and overwhelming the Preds D. Floating worked on that one.

One the brief occasions the Preds decided to skate, Vancouver could not keep up.

Hughes-Meyers pair is making Meyers look very good and Hronek look lost.

Brock plays much better with Miller than he did with Scooter.

What was with the Downs chick behind Ricky?

Third period lead AV hockey has to stop. I noticed it was the Miller line who put a brief pause in it.

Officiating looked like a Chiefs game.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yeah, I agree Donny. He’s an intense dude but in a good way. How I see it is Petey is an aloof guy, and the body language that comes from aloofness drives guys like JT nuts. Then it gets worse when the $11.6 million contract is signed and Petey’s indifference grows driving Miller over the edge. JT demands a lot from his teammates and the relationship between him and Petey is oil and water. Just two people not made for each other. I’ve had aloof employees and they drove me nuts and clients hated them, so I can see where JT is coming from. It’s a tough situation that will not fix itself because of the personality types involved. One or the other has to go.

I don't hate Miller, far from it!

It's just a matter of, well...

The time has come, the Walrus said.

I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob.

Guys like Miller have a limited shelf life.

Get a physical #2 centre and a major asshole back for the soon-to-be 32-yr-old...

You’ve been a bit back and forth on who stays and who goes. Last post I read it seemed you were more in the keep Miller camp.
