How about 60 mins of hockey vs 2. Get that win boys. 

Did I miss something Thursday night? I don't post when I'm at the game, but, reading the game thread back, did you actually go an entire game without letting us know how you feel about the Miller signing? 

But, let's be real, Gostisbehere was directly responsible for assisting on 2 of Utah's goals, and Chatty assisted on a 3rd. The Mammoth's 4th goal came on a no-call slash that took Walker's stick out of his hands and Stankoven was tripped on the same play.

Trade* and Ghost evened out at a min.

 

And he's not wrong checked moneypuck and Miller has a team leading (by far) 76 giveaways....  and almost 10% more expected goals against vs scored when he's on the ice.

I never said he wasn't wrong. 

I'm simply pointing out that Miller is the only guy being consistently lambasted. 

And, what Moneypuck doesn't mention about the 76 giveaways is the fact that Miller has been paired on all 3 lines and with every blue liner on the team thanks to injuries.

The blue line has been a mess all year and it almost feels like it's coming back together.

Yeah I was there so I don’t post a lot either when I’m at the games.  Miller I don’t think was bad actually last game EXCEPT 1 min into the game he had an awful turnover right in front of Bussi where the cross bar bailed us out. Miller has been ok. Like Chris said, he gets lazy and turns it over waaaaayy too much.  It’s no secret, I’m not a fan and think he is the worst Dman out of our 6. Can’t do the powerplay and with his turnovers, I get nervous each time he is on the ice. Honestly, I’d take Burns and Orlov over him. Definitely burns. 
 

ghost wasn’t great until he was. I expected rust from him. 
 

Now let’s talk about Boom. He was downright bad last game. For some reason, he still won’t body a guy and would rather play the puck. I thought Rod was going to bench him for the 3rd. But, he is young and will learn.

The blue line IS Rods strength.  It has been THE reason the team looks like a mess at times. I do agree that if they can just play with the same players over and over, it will be better and go back to really limiting other teams grade As in front of our goalies.

Per my post earlier, I got me thinking about miller burns and Orlov. So I looked up this year’s stats. Miller is clearly worse than Burns and Orlov. Should have just resigned Burns on the count that he doesn’t get hurt and plays every game. 
 

Edit* sorry for the light shade of the text, not sure how to fix it. 
 

1. Ke'Andre Miller (Carolina Hurricanes - D) 

Following his move to Carolina, Miller has been a top defender for the Hurricanes. 

2025-26 Stats (approx. through late Jan 2026): 4 goals, 15 assists, 19 points (44 games).

Performance: He has been a consistent top-pairing option, averaging over 22 minutes of ice time per game, with a plus-minus of +2.

Status: Active. Recently missed a game due to a lower-body injury in late December 2025, but quickly returned. 

 

2. Brent Burns (Colorado Avalanche - D) 

After departing Carolina, the veteran defender signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche for the 2025-26 season. 

2025-26 Stats (approx. through late Jan 2026): 8 goals, 17 assists, 25 points (52 games).

Performance: Continues to be productive at age 40, leading with a +25 rating in this period.

Status: Active. 

 

3. Dmitry Orlov (San Jose Sharks - D)

After departing Carolina, Orlov signed with the San Jose Sharks. 

2025-26 Stats (approx. through late Jan 2026): 1 goal, 22 assists, 23 points.

    • Players these days don’t need the pay day of the Pro Bowl. Even the lower paid players are earning enough money to not want to risk an injury playing in a pointless game. Last year didn’t the winners take home around $100k and the losers around $50k? Sounds nice to most of us, but to them, I can understand why some turn it down or half heartedly it if they play.
    • MY HOPES. First, the ickey situation is super unfortunate.  I think try to get a reasonable extension that allows to cut if his recovery is bad.  Option being if Lewis or Hunt get hurt he can kick inside, however I think its reasonable to think with his lack of progress, and prognosis of that injury he may never be a LT again at the NFL level.  Nymen should return hopefully as well as brady and let the best LT win. We HAVE to cut X.  Its not even an option at this point.  Guy is simply put not an NFL receiver.  He can return kicks and stuff, but as one of our top 3 options, its no longer an option.  Best I'd say is see if someone is willing to give peanuts for him, if not, just cut bait or keep him at best on the bottom of the roster. Kinda addressed in first, but Icky could be a long term option at guard...maybe depending on how his recovery from injury is.  Try to resign mays, if not I'd be ok with taking a Center in the draft and sigh...letting corbett maybe play the position. LB, Get Rozeboom back, maybe not as a starter but definitely worth bringing him back and also Im a guy of the mind when guys perform well, rewards like attempting to retain go a ways amongst players to grow a positive reputation.  I always say, you cant have all pros everywhere, but continue developing Wallace, draft a LB on day one or 2, and try to find high upside players who might be better utilized in our system vs where they came from. Chuba, definitely rely on him coming back, if not see if Etienne or Brooks take off.  RB is not a position to pay a lot for in the NFL these days, utilize the depth we already have and grow from that.  If you do anything in FA, its a similar Rico signing, someone falls into your lap and you can pay a prove it contract. LASTLY, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the big thing I want to see happen is a run at a big time Pass rusher this offseason.  I think we'll treat this as win now mode although I think our "win now" still is maybe at best an NFC Divisional...MAAAYBE championship game run.  That said, the rumors of Trey Hendrickson do make sense, although personally I'm skeptical on how well he'll perform in a 3-4 as opposed to 4-3.  Also wouldnt be surprised if there were significant trade proposal for Maxx Crosby.  We will see though, a move like that would mark a huge sign that we are attempting to win right now.
