He plays a very mature game. NHL ready that's probably a bit of a stretch.

Nope he's ready. Head and shoulders above anyone I've seen this year.

Miller Garland and Bains seem like the only 3 forwards willing to play playoff style hockey.

Lindholm centering the third line now, clearly Tocchet isn’t impressed with him either.

The hunt for someone to carry the 2nd line continues.

Good shift by the Blueger line, working hard down low.

The Canucks are 4-5-1 since they traded for him. First time all season they have been under .500 in a 10 game stretch I believe.

Canucks playing well, just gotta work that paint area a bit harder. You’re not gonna score an easy one on the Bruins, you’re gonna have to work for it.

Notice who avoided that mini scrum?

Not enough traffic and too many fly bys.

Half the Canucks chances are from the blue line with no screen. Canucks score on the rush.

Hughes a rough night along with the invisible one.

Yep…nothing crazy just gotta be more detailed, Tocchet will be happy so far I’m guessing. They’re not playing poorly by any means, but need to clean stuff up. Just need a goal.

Boston players can get the puck, look up and just wait for a Canuck player to skate on by then do whatever they want because no one is going to check them.

Nobody in the top 6 is close to playing with Millers intensity. Old guy isn’t tired too bad the others cannot follow his lead.

Canucks are outhitting them 26-13, won 59% of the faceoffs, outshooting them and they have the majority of possession, sometimes I wonder if you guys have a clue…the Bruins are in first place in the NHL, Canucks are not playing poorly against the best team in the league.

Have there been that many reverse hits by the Canucks tonight that they would have the puck while hitting the other team? Generally don't see a lot of players with the puck throwing many hits.

1/2 the teams shots have come from less than 10% chance of scoring.

Canucks are behind in expected goals through 2 periods with more possession, more hits, more shots and winning the majority of the face offs.

Everything seems a bit contradictory to what you believe.

Down 0-2 to a team at home off of a 2-3-2 home stand with 1 of the wins against us.

Need to see others step it up & support Miller. Hello Brock & Twiggy.

Wow B2B good shifts by the top 2 lines. Been awhile lol

They also need to start getting to Swayman. Bump him around a bit. Standing beside the crease waving at pucks isn't gonna get it done.

Not enough big bodies in front accidentally on purpose getting pushed into him. Old school.

The Canucks are outplaying them, contradictory to what you’re trying to tell me. Yes they’re losing because of a few breakdowns in coverage but they’ve been the better team, by far.

I said Boston players have too much time with the puck and you turned it into whatever you wanted.
