Maybe if they try Pettersson where Miller normally plays it can allow more options such as Petey being able to have more space and time to release his shot since it takes forever in the first place. And Miller can work the right side as a guy who’s able to get a quick shot off and be able to work with Hughes to utilize the right side more.

Garland playing where Kuzmenko played would be beneficial but I don’t expect him to be as good but someone that can create zone entries and keep the puck alive hashmarks and down as well as potentially being available for the backdoor pass.

It’s fine when they rotate and do this for a few looks, but Miller on the right side neuters his downhill shot/pass ability like he does on the left. He’s way too good on the left (and no one can play it like him) to move.

They tried this for a stretch last year and we were clamouring for him to move back to the left

When you see someone who can't like comments, does anyone else think -- hmm, I never noticed you being a bigger asshole than me
I called out a certain poster for his continuous & disruptive behaviour here and got reported.
Idk if that constitutes as being an asshole. Granted I did infact use pretty strong language hence the soft ban.

I'll frame my sentences better next time. :sarcasm: You cant be too straight forward these days.

Hope I'm wrong, but looks to me like both Miller and Hughes are nursing some kind of injuries. Tocchet admitted as much when Miller was forced to leave after a seemingly innocuous collision on the opening faceoff.

And Hughes looked to be in serious discomfort on the bench at times in the Flyers game. I guess these are nicks that they can play through......but hope they don't become 'chronic' as the long season unfolds.
Quinn isn't nursing anything, he got hit in the ribs during the latter half of flyers game.

Towards the end of the Florida game, he got boarded by Bennett and he looked like he was harbouring his mid section. He looked really hurt.

If Hughes stayed on the ice, that would’ve been a 5 minute major. Bennett hit him squarely in the numbers that f***ing puke.
