Unless they're Petey?

Too much emphasis on that pairing, they have not backup the third pairing are AHL guys and the 1rst pairing are getting all the PP time so they are left in the meat grinder facing the top pairing a lot that and they play the PK which can be tiring. Hughes and Hronek get seconds on the PK.

That is a stretch, Joshua, Sherwood get praised alot or mentioned, Petey did get a lot of "move his feet" so did many others.
Miller was just accused of dogging and benched something that Petey has had yet.
After the practice Tocchet did expose on how good Miller is and how lucky he is to have him all while saying this in front of his Jack Adams trophy, odd.

While I think both of these comments are fair, I've listened to every single Tocchet press conference this season. He rarely says any more than one, usually short, sentence about them. Either praise or criticism. Often a reporter will ask about someone's play and he'll give a short response then spin the answer into something team-wide. This season, he's criticize both Pettersson and Miller equally and only Miller got benched.

Sasson definitely has the wheels to play in the NHL, even as a depth center.

But the problem in Abbotsford, was when they tried to move him to wing, He's far better in the middle. And I'm not sure that's where the Canucks will play him

A quick glace at the Western Conference standings reveals that if the Canucks lose to Ottawa, there's a good chance that by Sunday, they'll officially be 'below' the playoff bar in the West.

Granted they've still got games in hand on a lot of teams.......but you know what they say about teams that are below the playoff bar on U.S., Thanksgiving.

I’m pretty sure that’s always been about point percentage. They’re currently 6th.
