Adam Proteau analyzes J.T. Miller's reaction towards his goalie, the New York Rangers scratching Alexis Lafreniere and the plethora of NHL goalies in ...
Goaltending depth just isn’t a luxury teams can have in the flat salary-cap era, and the Hurricanes will have to divest themselves of one of their current trio of netminders. Like Andersen, Raanta will be a UFA at the end of this year, but another team would likely claim him if Carolina tried to sneak him through waivers. Kotchetkov has been a revelation between the pipes for Carolina this season, and there’s no way they’re giving up on him. He’s got the bright lights of Broadway shining on him, and although the Rangers have skilled players higher up in the lineup than he is, Lafreniere has played like he needed a wake-up call. 6, has been practising with the team and is Injured veteran Frederik Andersen, who has been out of the lineup since Nov.
With under one minute to go in the game, the Canucks trailed the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 and needed to get goaltender Colin Delia off the ice to create an extra- ...
The Canucks forward eventually skated behind the goal and swung his stick at the net before the goaltender went to the bench. However, with the puck in his own zone, Delia hesitated to leave the ice. I was letting him know to go to the bench.
In the closing minutes of Thursday's matchup with the Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver was trailing 3-2. And Delia – playing his third game in goal for the Canucks – ...
The problem for Miller is that his outburst was so public. Delia wasn’t standing in the crease staring off into the space. Miller is asserting dominance over a teammate that hasn’t been a member of the Canucks for very long. Miller might as well have slashed the netminder in the back of the head. The Canucks backstop has appeared in 35 NHL games thanks to determination and hard work. I’ve felt the uneasiness of coming into a new locker room and trying to do everything I can to help the team win. And Miller is completely in the wrong. And if you go back and watch the video again, Boudreau isn’t waving Delia to the bench. So for Miller to throw a tantrum towards Delia is completely ridiculous. Over time, many coaches have realized there isn’t much to gain by yanking the goalie when the puck is still in the defensive zone. Miller can be seen screaming at Delia to get off the ice – in not so nice words. Every goaltender knows that when their team is trailing, and there’s less than three minutes left in the game, it’s time to start looking toward the bench.
Miller wasn't happy with how Delia handled handled the final moments of a close game.

Is there an issue we don't know about? This guy needs to go or he’ll be a cancer on this club for the better part of the next decade Miller should be reprimanded, fines & benched.

The Canucks forward eventually skated behind the goal and swung his stick at the net before the goaltender went to the bench. If you've ever been on the ice, it's pretty hard to hear," Boudreau explained. However, with the puck in his own zone, Delia hesitated to leave the ice.
