JT Miller has been one of the best players in the NHL this year, and his powerplay dominance is one of the main reasons behind the Vancouver Canucks success this year. In this video, I break down what makes this play so lethal.

That's the reason why we re-sign Miller and not Bo.
lol lots of fans hated Millers extension and wanted to keep Bo, don't forget. I actually loved the signing and thought Miller was heads and shoulders better than Horvat
@@BUZZNIGHTYEAR99I think the thing is more that the banning regime should never have put the team in such an awful cap situation that we couldn’t resign both of them. OEL and Myers contracts on their own are the reason he couldn’t be resigned. We’re just lucky Alvin was able to make a good trade rather than Bo walking at the end of the season. Nobody thought keeping Miller was a bad idea, fans were just mad that we couldn’t keep both realistically. Again we’ll take hronek though lol.
@@BUZZNIGHTYEAR99 i'll freely admit, i was team Bo last year. but toch and millsy and the boys have won me over man. i'm a changed man :D
@@gabefranklin7024 Yes we were in cap hell, but had we signed Horvat to the contract he has now, we would be in no different position than we were previously. Miller proved that he is worth the money. Even if he falls off by the tail end of the contract, it is a fair trade. He's constantly been a top 10 player in the NHL these past few years. Hard to come by at his value. Horvat has a 8.5m aav contract. 500k more than Millers extension, yet his production and influence is nowhere close. If Horvat really wanted to stay, he could have taken less money. Like the Sedins, Bieska, and heck even Miller.
He is the best passer in the league. Too bad he can’t teach meyers!
Funny how it's not just a fluke pp goal every time, I never saw the actual play overlapped like this. I'm gonna be looking for it now whenever I'm watching
Never seen a fanbase underrate a guy this much...
Keep it that way for salary cap, and teams won’t catch on covering this exploit
Nope rangers did that
Yes that's a good description of him, a complete player. Can win faceoffs too.
funny how everyone was saying he had a bad two way game last year
I like Miller because he's so fearless. He has this Ultra mode that he can use when he wants to. I think Tocchet have been great for him.
Before coming here he was an able player, here he's been a star
Such a unique player
Just an FYI: Miller didn't invent that shootout move. That comes from Jussi Jokinen (who even played for the Canucks one year), who established himself as the first bonafied shoutout specialist when the rule was first implemented. Going wide basically forces the initiative on the goalkeeper. If he commits, pull the puck wide and deke. If he doesn't, shoot it shortside. Jokinen was almost automatic with this move because he always waited for the goalie to make his decision for him.
If your team is deep and Petterson is you third best player, you’ve got a fricken wagon of a team!
He's the most underrated player outside of his home fanbase. Almost every expert outside of the fanbase talks about Hughes, Pettersson, Demko, and even Boeser before him when he is the actual best player on the team for 5 years. I get so mad when people talk about Pettersson carrying the team when he's looked disinterested most of the year. This is Hughes' and Miller's team.
JT Miller reminds me of Kesler back in the day but much more aggressive with a rugged style of play.
Lol unlike Kesler, he won't sleep with his team mates wives.
A+ video, have noticed this play more this season, sometimes he loops all the way over the blueline into the neutral zone to create the space to accelerate into. I'm pretty sure McDavid is the first guy I ever noticed to do that, but been cool to see Miller add it to his arsenal.
dont forget he is one the few guy in the league that can still fight.
Yeah him and Big Z.
Was easily my favorite player when with the Rangers and was pretty upset when we didn’t keep him.
Fantastic video. I loved the analysis
Glad you enjoyed it!
yYour videos are excellent I really liked the garland x 3 video
High quality productions, excellent channel. I just came across it today and have subbed.
Thank you, really appreciate the kind words!
Merry Christmas this my first video I seen of yours
Merry Christmas my friend! Thanks for watching the video I hope you enjoyed it!
Such a nice compilation
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Great vid! Merry Christmas!
Thanks! You too!
Definitely agree he's the best forward for the Canucks. Looks like Canucks made a great decision keeping him over Horvat. All the best to Horvat, but getting Hronek to round out the core was a brilliant move by Allvin.
He did it again in Pittsburgh!
JT Miller produced solid numbers even before he came to Vancouver, but move to Canuks has got the best extracted out of him. Last two seasons over point per game. I haven't care much about Canuks before, but it's difficult not to respect a team that has done seriously good caoching and scouting work in their management. Players body language shows there is positive atmosphere in locker room (unlike Avs!), and that can carry you long way in the playoffs. Hey you broke 1k of subscribers, congratz man!
Thank you so much man!!
Great video!
Thanks so much!
He’s a beat. Stamkos accuracy, McKinnon speed and hands and power forward toughness
Bro does not have Mackinnon's speed or hands but definitely the toughness. JT Miller is fast and has good hands but Mackinnon is on a whole different planet in those categories.
I gotta give p. Alvin credit he identified problems and patched them immediately .
Allvin is really making Benning look like a dud.
this canucks team is insanely stacked. From the coaching staff to the players. There's no way they don't win the cup man
One Quinn Hughes injury away from not being even close
@@jameskillbot2867 Agreed. This team is good when they're completely healthy but you're almost never healthy entering the finals. The Canucks don't have the depth to be realistic contenders unless everything goes right.
@@zhiwui2114 they absolutely have the forward depth, just not on defense. I don't think losing Hughes would sink the team as Hronek is absolutely capable of stepping up, but it would definitely hurt.
@@jameskillbot2867same as oilers being one McDavid injury away from.the basement. Avs one makar injury. whats your point buddy??
@@zhiwui2114they have the depth. You probablyndont watch canucks. Lafferty on 4th line has 9 goals, joshua has 9 goals, hoglander has 10 goals...what are you watching??
The fact that they also have 3 bodies in front of the net means the goalie cant see anything but no one is blocking shots, and we always have a guy who is trying to tip that shot if he can see it in time
Goal at 1:03 is SO disrespectful 😬😂💀
... I'm a Wild fan btw... the disrespect!!! lol
Miller even drops the gloves and lays people out
Also, also, also, also This team out in the first round btw lol
Would you like more salt to go with that whine?
*If EP can get a better shot from that sweet spot, it would make the PP more dangerous.*
I agree, EP hasn't looked great from that one timer spot this year. Really hoping he's able to get his rhythm back in the second half of the season and into the playoffs especially!
I hate Canucks fans tho. He’s soooo good
You forgot to mention that he could probably drop every playing in the league
too bad he hasnt played up top much on the pp this yr
Ill take him for 8 mil
It's all Demko. When you have a Vezina quality net minder teams play with confidence.
The team bailed out Demko last game.
@@mikem9536 How many has Demko bailed the rest of the team out...Goals Saved Above Average :P
Too bad that power play has slowly dried up lately.
my guess is canucks choke in the play offs regardless , lol
more than peterson? nope
good vid, but "This guy can do it all" are you sure about that? hahaha
I'd love to know what parts of the game you think he's lacking in, haha. I think his biggest fault is probably that he's a very emotional guy. And when things aren't going great for him, he seems to spiral. But that emotion is also what makes him so good as well so it's a double edged sword.
elite offense, elite defense, can fight. not much of a goalie tho.
@@drumagus2258 His defense is not elite. It used to be the worst in the league a couple years ago and it's definitely gotten better but elite is a massive stretch. I still see him as a liability on defense honestly.
Tons of bias, but you have some decent points on his pp movement.
I'm definitely a little biased when it comes to the Canucks, haha. But glad you found the video interesting at the very least!
he didnt do that well last season
Yeah getting 99 points is not doing well. Should have hot 150 points like McDavid. Some peoples expectations are beyond stupid 😅
why are you complaining? @@samjam6989
@@samjam6989I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since I know that in your private life you're as smart as Einstein himself, but the 99 points were 2 seasons ago. Last season he managed 82 and finished a -7
Lol bro. This is to much homering.. he is good but best 😂😂
Never said he was the best! Not even on the Canucks. But I don't think you can argue that he's been a top 10 or even arguably a top 5 player in the league this season.
@rajbadesha512 He is 3rd in points in the NHL, driven, dedicated, competitive, emotional, dependable, will powered, focused., driven, consistent, holds teammates accountable. He is the embodiment of success in this league and teams that win NEED players like THIS to win championships. He's one of the best in the league no doubt.
Compared to last year, his patent move was behind the back pass to Hughes lol
