Alphas don’t care about meaningless moral victories


This is when the betas shine, no pressure

Miller looking uninspired since the TDL passed. Your true Captain aint much of a leader. Looking more like a dbag looking to play elsewhere...

He looks tired from carrying the entire forward corps on his back all year

Canucks most likely don't have a true captain. Miller is an alpha but not cut out to lead when things get rough. Bo just sucks in general as a lead dog, would be an ideal 2nd/3rd in command type that follows. OEL, I have no clue how he was named captain in Arizona. These guys should all be wearing A's at best.

The alpha and leader was the guy standing on his head in the 3rd. Covering everyone's ass while they were figuring out how to clear the zone under full pressure.

Another win when they need it and bantering about who’s the leader lol, maybe they have multiple leaders which you need, thier showing lots of resilency.

You really need some remedial reading and understanding courses. How does I hope they bring him back translate to I don't like him?

We saw his uninspired hockey all season last year when he wasn't tired.

He doesn't seem to care where the puck goes when it leaves his stick.

The 2-4-3 stretch before this 4-0 stretch really hurt.

The team is definitely showing resiliency as you say, the leader banter is getting tiresome, but again just a troll schtick to get posters to bite.

To bad the win wasn't in regulation, but Boudreau has the team winning and I hope he gets another chance starting in Sept at start of training camp.

When players are publicly asked to talk about a teammate in media, they’re always going to compliment the player. Nobody’s going to come out and throw a teammate under the bus or point out their flaws. By default, you expect nice things to be said.

But sometimes you can pick up when guys are genuinely excited to talk up a teammate, you can tell when they really mean it. Well, the authenticity was oozing when Horvat was handing out lavish praise for Podkolzin.

“Yeah, I think he’s probably the guy we (he and Miller) talk about the most in the room,” Horvat said of Podkolzin. “He’s an undercover really fast skater. He’s probably got the hardest shot on our team and his work ethic is through the roof.

“He’s always in the gym, always first guy on the ice in practice and he’s just continuing to keep getting better over the course of the year, and it’s been a lot of fun to watch. He’s going to be a heck of a player for a lot of years in the league.”

Miller then stepped in. He’s probably had one of the best views of Podkolzin’s in-season progression. You might recall, after all, that Miller was the one directing Podkolzin through drills, helping him understand instructions on the first day of training camp.

“I think the sky’s the limit with him,” Miller said. “He doesn’t seem to really struggle with anything. He’s just learning to play over here, which will help with time.

“Like Bo says, when he takes off, he can beat a guy wide any shift. He can shoot it as hard as anybody and he’s the first guy on, last guy off every day. That’s a guy you’d love to play with on any night.

“He’s fun and easy to play with … he’s very physically gifted, he’s in the gym all the time. He’s a pro already, he’s got a lot to learn still, but the way he carries himself, he’s humble, he’s a great guy and we’re excited that he’s with us. Like I keep saying, there’s unlimited potential with him. Who knows what he could do here?”
