Post-Game Talk: Isles def. Canucks - 6-2 (Horvat x2)

[canuckking1]

He’s sadly not trolling nor being held accountable by coaches. This is a joke.

Did any media member point out how wrong this is? Surely even Miller knows why his +/- is so damn bad?

 

[Aphid Attraction]

What do you guys expect to achieve? Humiliate him into playing better? Or is it better that he feels like we think he should feel?

Understanding his faults so he can work on them? Nothing wrong with some critical self-assessment when needed.

 

[credulous]

i'm not gonna pile on miller for having confidence in himself because athlete confidence is pretty critical to performance for a lot of athletes

still doesn't excuse him correcting teammates on the ice though. he needs to get his own house in order before he gets a pass for that

So we are making the assumption that what he says to the media is 100 percent all he believes and he needs a public forum to point that out?

Canucks need to radically change the entire coaching and management setup if players are not getting info on areas they need to work on…

I don't really know what you are getting at. Miller seems to think he is playing well and his drop in production is because he is better defensively. Do you agree with him?

Some form of accountability in this market would be most welcome.

 

[LordBacon]

Wish we had john tortorella as coach rn

Torts also didnt give a f*** about the canucks.
I wouldnt want another dude that doesnt care about the team, we have an abundance of useless f***s on the team as it is.

What does that look like?

Pretty much at the base of it, the polar opposite of what is happening in this organization right now on multiple levels.

 

[Sedinery]

Why is Wolanin still in Abby ???

Thats either side stepping the question or moving the goal post…

 

[Kevinsane]

Miller is either being obtuse or is genuinely not very bright.

 

[mriswith]

I wouldn't mind any of this if it was all smoke and mirrors and Miller is traded at the deadline but if they are dead set on keeping him and the poor play continues he needs his ice time cut.

Other than that he sounds stupid with what he's saying, I don't mind his media statements because it's important for athletes to think they're the shit in order to play well, especially if you're expected to be a star player like Miller. Most athletes perform best when they're feeling a little bit cocky and if they get their ice time cut you want them to feel righteous anger, get pissed off and fight their way back. I really don't want to hear an athlete talk about how bad they played or that they're in a funk or they're struggling, etc etc, because it hurts their ability to climb out of it when they get in their own head, e.g. it pisses me off that Garland was talking about his poor year last year when that wasn't even true as a whole and lo and behold he's struggling even more this year.

He wouldn't trying to fight the other teams coach if that was true

Besides the only reason I would want him is because he wouldn't put up with millers bullshit

That was all his ego and a historical beef that ended up hurting the Canucks quite a lot.

 

[tantalum]

w.r.t. Miller....I think at this point it is a fair assumption that what he is saying is what he believes. Why? Because he isn't actually making changes to how he plays. If this was a case of simply trolling or his way of side stepping the issue or dealing with it, we'd be seeing results on the ice...greater attention to detail, better effort, better individual results. This isn't a new thing with Miller either. This IS something that has been in his game his entire career.

This.

Tortorella gave one of the most mailed in peformances I’ve ever seen from a Canuck. If he came in and behaved the way and cared the way he did everywhere else he has coached, he may have lasted more than one season. The guy didn’t even move to Vancouver, and didn’t attend some of the team’s practices because of it.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

I'm officially on team tank. Must lose game. And its a team with solid defensive structure and good goaltending, the kind of team we are useless against.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

The Canucks looked like they were getting some confidence back in their game, prior to the road trip...and looked like a good opportunity to build on the fact they were .500....Calgary and Winnipeg were full value for their wins, demonstrating that they have superior puck support than the Canucks..Not to mention that they were more hungrier for the wins...The only positive out of these last games for the Canucks was the goaltending (which was a sore spot a month ago).

Its anyones guess as to which team shows up tonight..Home ice advantage ,obviously isnt an advantage here on the Left coast.

Canucks face anytime that's half decent and they usually fold like a cheap tent.

Torts didn’t give a shit when he was here, guy was collecting checks while living in Port Roberts.

I want him benched just to see how much he freaks out and whines to the press...

How does where he lived make any difference?

 

[Canuckle1970]

Welcome to 2023!

So tonight we face another team that reeks of structure. And they have a pretty decent goalie.
Should be quite a challenge!
