Pull Miller now. He has a habit of letting goals in in bunches!

Now that the shutout streak is over, I'd go with Lack.

The Sedins really need to work on their own-zone play. Daniel turns away from Pirri as he lets it go and ends Miller's shutout streak. Could've easily got a stick in there but it looked like he turned towards the point expecting Pirri to make a Sedin-like pass and give up a chance to shoot.

That was pretty terrible hockey to watch - Nucks just shut it down and the panthers couldn't do a thing about it. Good win, but sure felt like a January game.

We will take it given the March schedule gets really tough, need as big a cushion as possible to make the playoffs.

No, we should go with the hot hand. Lots of time to rest during the break.

If he plays tomorrow that would make it 4 games in 6 nights. With the Canucks on yet another back-to-back, maybe looking ahead to the break, against a team like Tampa... I'd rather not see Miller get hammered.

Yeah, we should sacrifice Lack. Hope he pulls one out and then GMs like Hextall start calling...

I would go with Miller. Chance to go 4-1 on the trip then a week off. These points are going to be hard to come by after the break.

Yes, Fla did Willie D a small favor by getting the one goal, no shutout streak on the line. I say he goes with Lack. Miller has been great, but playing him again on the second of back to backs is probably pushing his luck. Play Eddie, get him the game, and give Miller a nice long time to rest. I hope they put in Corrado tomorrow too, for either Sbisa and Stanton.

What about Ballard?

Miller has had some down time the last couple weeks. Easy travel while in Florida and the last game before the All Star break. He is use to the work load. I say come back with Miller. Ride the hot hand. He is after all our 6 million dollar man.

A few comments;
Nice crowd out to a Panther's game on a Monday night, best get those ads on the jerseys before the team folds.

In the event of contraction and Luongo isn't picked up in the dispersion draft, what are the cap implications for Vancouver?

Possibly the best game Horvat has played. The gritting/flukey goal put a real jump in his stride.

Vey's defensive play is getting noticed.

Henrik's staunch refusal to shoot is pissing me off. Come on, try it every once in a while at least to keep defenders guessing what you might do.

Hansen is playing with dirt under his finger nails, JB's phone has to be ringing off the hook as Jannik is the perfect addition to a contender. Dorsett, now that he seems to have his one dumb penalty a game issue settled, can't be far behind.

Kassian started the season with unfulfilled promise and a the clock ticking on his development. What has happened since then? The clock is still ticking and rookies Vey and Horvat have passed him on the depth chart to relegate him to 13th forward.

Play Lack.
