Crazy to see him producing at a better clip than Mogilny, a guy some fans think might be the most skilled player in Canuck history. Miller's consistency has been insane. He's a machine. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller's consistency has been insane. He's a machine. Interesting for sure. Pretty good comparable too as both joined the Canucks at 26. Mogilny the flashier player (or at least speedier), while Miller has just been that efficient point producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I love about Miller (and I saw it again tonight)....when we're attacking and the puck's being passed around as guys try to find a shooting lane, he gets creative. He'll move and mix things up rather than be stationary and wait for an opening. He darted to the front of the net and changed things up. He's also really aware of where others are and gets the puck away quickly...not so many of those no look passes because he just seems to be so dialed in. I love how he plays the game. He, Quinn, and Petey are really special players (Demko too). And Kuz when he's on. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the main reason why he is on the scoresheet so much. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Miller might be the most underrated Canuck forward outside of Vancouver. He's on his game and is an outstanding two-way centre who can produce at least a point-per-game and even push a 90-100 point pace when he's hot. The way he's playing right now, he's worth $10-11M and we're getting him for $8M. Still not sure what the contract will look like four or five years from now, but right now, it's a steal. I think most fans outside of Vancouver just see him as a solid top 6 forward and don't realize what a superstar he is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Would be nice if he keeps this incredible pace up and we end up with two 100pt centers, not many teams can boast that. He's clearly still in his prime, this might be his best year yet, so really hope we make the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The way he threw Lindgren back in that scrum last night and didn't take any bs from Kreider ... don't think for one moment that doesn't rub off on the rest of the team. Love his skill and skating but this guy is the whole package. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like JT really found a true "home" here. By that I mean he's been on teams where he maybe wasn't relied on as much as a go to or truly given the opportunity to shine like he has here. He's sort of been in the back seat and now he's driving a team bus. Players like him are successful because they're so driven and competitive. They love the game and love to win. You can coach players but some of this stuff comes from within and you can't "teach" it. It's either there or it's not...killer instinct and grit kind of stuff. Linden, Burr, Bieka...all my favourites have shown this. Some players love to be hockey "stars" and live the lifestyle. I mean, sure they love hockey but JT doesn't care about any of the hoopla. He's seemingly having a lot of fun here and I think this is the perfect fit for him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) JT is becoming a complete player who is a huge factor in their performance. Tocc is the perfect coach for him. I also think he has become a very good leader on the team. I see him, directing players on the ice and supporting them when they have a tough game. Awhile back, there was a Podz interview where he commented that JT was his mentor and that he(JT) often calls him up to check in with him. Apparently Miller talked it over with him when Podz was recently sent to Abby. Told him about his own experiences (3 times) and how he was disappointed at first, but in the end it improved his game notably. JT didn't play his first full season until he was 22yrs old. He's really taken Podz under his wing and has high regard for his skills. Edited October 30, 2023 by higgyfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksIn50 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Ok now we can all agree JT has been a beast up until last night vs the Laffs where the whole team laid an egg. I didn’t realize that Millsy not only is playing like the emotional leader he is, playing a solid 200 foot game and putting up crazy points, I just found out he’s been a baby sitter during 3 games this year to boot… pic below as proof. JT cheers to you brother we love you, stay a Canuck especially for our beloved @-dlc- Go Canucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 This whole "showing your emotions" thing is such garbage and takes away from his great play. Everyone including myself thought he'd start regressing in his 30s, a bit like a broken-down Kesler who got old real fast. Instead JT is now playing the best hockey of his career which says something considering he nearly dropped 100pts not long ago and lead this team. Obviously it's still very early days but he's at the top of the league in scoring and on pace for 125 points. Would be quite nuts if all of a sudden the best 1-2 center punch in the league goes from McDavid-Draisaitl to Petey-Miller but so far that looks the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
