The clip from Thursday's game has surfaced and J.T. Miller's not looking good in it, after a power play turnover, the Panthers are seen skating away from their zone in possession. Miller gives three strides before giving up on the back check.
What kind of message does that send to the team, when their top player for the last 3 seasons puts that kind of effort. Perhaps the issue is not the coaching nor the defence, but the effort for it.
