Whereas for me, i see a 35 year old man who has been playing a fundamentally different style of game with a very different approach for all his life.
I think you take Miller for what he is...where when he's on, he can be really on...and when he's off, he can be really off.
I think at this point, it is what it is...Miller is gonna play like Miller. And the best hockey he seems to play, is when he's seeming most comfortable in playing his way. Just so happens that some of the worst hockey he seems to play, also occurs when he's playing his way and trying to do too much.
I'm just saying, having read all this and agreeing with most of it (even if I shortened it for quote-purposes), that I'd rather that we see what we have in Marky then letting Miller do his own thing and give us slightly less than average goaltending (stats wise). Marky is "youngish" still and has looked more comfortable than ever before in the big show and it benefits the organization to see if he's ready or not. There is more to gain by playing Marky than letting Miller be Miller. Had he greatly outplayed his backup it'd be another matter but I'd argue they have had similar seasons - which goes to show how much a goalie is dependent on good D to truly excel - albeit Miller has (obviously) played a ton more games.
