"He's Just A Little Under the Weather": Canucks Coach Explains Miller's Flyers Absence
So, you're probably wondering what's up with Miller, right? He's a big name in the NHL, and his absence from the Canucks' game against the Flyers was pretty noticeable. Don't worry, Canucks fans, Coach Bruce Boudreau shed some light on the situation during his post-game press conference.
The coach explained that Miller was feeling "under the weather" and was deemed unfit to play. He didn't go into specifics about what exactly was ailing Miller, but he emphasized that it wasn't anything serious. Just a little sniffle, maybe? A touch of the flu? Whatever it was, it was enough to keep the star player sidelined.
A Precautionary Measure
The coach made it clear that this was purely a precautionary measure. "We don't want to risk him getting worse," Boudreau said. "He's a valuable player to our team, and we want to make sure he's healthy and ready to go when we need him." The Canucks, with their eyes on the playoffs, are taking no chances with their star goalie's health.
Miller's Absence Makes a Difference
Miller's absence was certainly felt on the ice. The Canucks ended up losing the game, and while it's hard to say for sure how much Miller's absence contributed to the defeat, it's definitely something the team will need to overcome moving forward.
Looking Ahead
The good news is that Coach Boudreau expects Miller to be back in the lineup soon. No specifics were given on a potential return date, but it seems like it's just a matter of days, or maybe even hours, before we see Miller back between the pipes.
In the meantime, we'll just have to be patient and hope that Miller gets back to full health quickly. The Canucks need him at his best if they want to make a serious run for the Stanley Cup.
