The next assclown it needs to go on with is Miller. He needs to do the same thing as Kreider. Skate hard every shift, park his ass in front of the net, drive the net and score dirty goals.
Kreider has been impressive, since he has come up. I love the fact that AV uses him in every possible situation unlike Torts ever did and Kreider has responded. Miller does not seem to be ready yet. I would be really tough on him if he does not improve next season.
I think Miller's looked pretty good so far, he hasn't scored but he hasn't looked out of place for basically a rookie. I wouldn't put him in front of the net, he's a little too small yet, leave that too Kreider or uggggg...Bufffooon.
thats what my "negative" posts are about. i quote a professor at my law school, he says that the problem with students in our school is they think "close" is good enough. Thats the problem with Miller, close is not good enough, he needs to start putting the freakin puck in the net.
I think Miller has been fine. Unlucky if nothing else. He was a spark against the Isles. I think it will come for him, especially if AV sticks with him and gives him confidence. You know that just wouldn't have been the case with Torts. Kreider could be a big difference maker for this team. When was the last time they had a guy who could park himself in front of the net, and actually do that. In my mind he gets an assist on that PP goal vs the Isles. If he can keep doing that there might be a presentable PP.
Kreiders lightbulb right now is like a floodlight. Keep it up CK. Torts a distant memory in the CK rearview mirror.
Never understood why he didn't make the club from the onset but that's water under the bridge. CK has also brought physical play this year in addition to the offense, he makes something happen every shift and only has 30 games under his belt.
AV is trying to get Miller and Pouliot to do the same thing. If he can, this team should be able to hold the fort until Cally returns. Nash I can't count on. It seems like he might not be around for a long time.
