Prospect Info: K'Andre Miller (D) - Part III

[The Crypto Guy]

Good play my Miller bringing the puck down low and causing a penalty against BC.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Caufield ties it up on the PP. They are using Miller kind of low in the middle, just one man on the point. Never see that in the NHL.

Miller playing in the slot on the powerplay. Caufield scores to tie it, Miller’s not getting a point.

BC scores to make it 2-1 while I was typing

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Miller on for a goal against, probably could’ve been more aggressive on that play, but that’s also a pretty weak goal to give up if you’re the goalie

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Boldy scores to make it 4-1 BC

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Emberson just absolutely laid out Newhook at center ice, might get tossed for that one

update: got tossed for that one

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Miller with a great chance jumping in on a rebound that was stopped by Knight

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Miller with a great read in the neutral zone to poke the puck away from an attacker and get the puck moving the other way which lead to a great chance for Wisconsin

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Second period is over, 4-3 BC. Miller’s definitely getting better as the game goes on

 

[GAGLine]

Zac Jones has 1g, 1a and 6 shots on goal through 2 periods.

Edit: Wrong thread

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Heres a video I found of Miller’s rebound chance

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

5-3 BC, Miller on the ice. Was watching the near side of the post, another Wisconsin player went at the puck carrier behind the net, puck got through the Wisconsin player to a BC forward in the slot who scored

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Finkelstein. What a terrible hockey name.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Miller takes a penalty while on the power play during a board battle

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Definitely not Miller’s best game. His play seemed sluggish for most of the game, wasn’t moving the puck as well as he can for most of the game, and he still needs to make some better reads in the defensive zone.

 

[Fitzy]

Finkelstein. What a terrible hockey name.

The kid is a bit of a pain in the ass, too

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Finkelstein. What a terrible hockey name.

More of a hockey owner name.

So last night was a lot of fun. We were second row behind the visitors net so got to see a lot of Spencer Knight who you guys know I’ve swooned over for a few years now.

but overall I mean that’s a special game. You had Turcotte Miller Caufield Newhook Knight Boldy (we had the pleasure of sitting directly behind his family and chatting with them. Great moment when he scored his first goal. Dad was so proud) 6 first round picks out there.

Caufield two goals from his office on Spencer Knight was cool. He didn’t do much else but he is lights out from that circle.

on to Kandre. It was a weird game for him. He was as best I can tell not really engaged. His skating and size are just flat out elite. But he didn’t ever look like he was going full speed. On the rush forget it you aren’t getting around him. His defense on the rush is effortless. And he made a bunch of great little passes in small spaces to get out of the zone or keep pucks in. In the second period he started to get going he wired a puck from the high slot that may have looked like it went wide on tv but it beat Knight just ticked off his buttend. He looked around like wow got lucky there. Knight absolutely stones him on a break in later right in front of us. Just a great save.

KAndre was playing the bumper spot in the slot on the PP1. Was weird but he actually was the forward in that set up and when entering the zone would park at the blueline. For me I’d have that guy carrying the puck in. He didn’t do this at all tonight. Weird spot for him but they trust his hands there to make plays and he does.

On the negative he still has work to do in his zone. He can get caught puck watching and almost looks lazy in letting guys get to the net with the puck his recovery is ridiculous he can let a guy go then catch him and break up a play with one stride. His athleticism is off the charts. He rarely made a bad pass in or out of his zone.

but he needs to show more fire and drive play. He seemed disinterested in going out there and trying to win the game most of the night. He has the ability to be much more involved.

he’s much better than he showed tonight but again the size skating even at half speed like he showed was elite to everyone else on the ice. I can see him getting bored at this level very quickly. Shouldn’t stay after this season.

Great recap. Sort of sounds if he is lazy, he can be Marek Malik. If he is not, then the sky's the limit.

no no I wouldnt say that. It was more just a nonchalance. He’s better than that any way way more skilled and an elite skater than Malik ever was

Miller listed at 6'4", 211 lbs. Kid's going to be a monster.

He got absolutely robbed. Knight is going to be a legit franchise goalie in the NHL.

 

[Kovalev27]

Playing against Spencer Knight is zero fun. He was outstanding.
