Value of Eaves and Miller

We talk all the time of the value of Helm, Datsyuk, Lidstrom, etc. Every once in a while Miller and Eaves get complemented for their PK, but I just wanted take a moment to say how brilliant Kenny was to bring them both in and keep both.

It always seems to me that generally, if Miller is hurt, Eaves is raring to go and vice versa. On the rare occasion that they both are healthy, someone else on 3/4 is hurt or Cleary is bumped up because Bertuzzi or Holmstrom is out. They always fill a need.

Eaves may have a little more natural scoring ability, they both play hustle hockey, kill penalties, play solid D, pass the puck, finish hits, and generally make fewer mistakes than their counterparts. Which puts the the Red Wings in great position to win.

*raises imaginary glass*

To Eaves and Miller!

Agreed

Too extremely valuable assets to the team.

Living in Chicago is great... apart from the Blackhawks fans.

Speaking of Eaves

No return date set yet

So it will probably be a couple more weeks

I think it was Josh that found an article the other day that pointed to late February. It was linked in the comments of another thread but I can’t find it.

Cheers to Miller

He’s so close to a career high and there’s so much time to spare. Get well soon Patty!
