To my untrained eye in watching Miller when he has played this year, sitting him makes no sense to me.

I would think he grades out higher than how it shows here but what do I know as a random poster on the worldwide web.

I don’t like Appleton playing above Iafallo.  The 3rd line was noticeably better when Appleton was out.

And of course Stanley continuing to play over others, is still a head scratcher, but I assume they have a plan.

Stanley in reality is a decent 6 d man on most nhl teams. I think Stanley’s biggest problem is the jets drafted him in the first round cuz guys a solid 6 7 on most nhl teams. He kills penalties. He’s big. That matters in the nhl. And in the playoffs he has been pretty ok when he did get some games. He’s not as bad as we all say he is. He’s not a top 4 guy and when everyone is healthy, he isn’t. Miller signed 2 years pretty cheap contact. I think he’s ok with the extra d role. Ville at this point is going somewhere with our late 1st in a weak draft. If you compare Stan to most teams 6 7 D men, you learn to appreciate Stan more. He’s not the worst that’s for sure.  I actually think Cogs has some 3rd pair rhd potential also as he’s good at creating O.

Fleury Miller seemed pretty good through first 15 right?

Jets are sloppy and too passive in the D zone.

Jets are slow starters. Have woken up now. 

Does our Chicken feel lucky?

Love getting that last second goal.  Especially after Scheifele got a shoulder to the face with no call.

Much better period by the Jets, obviously.

Time to beat this dead horse again... Why do they insist on playing Stanley.

Jets were really hemmed in the 10 to 12 minutes of the first.  Since then it was a completely different story.  Strike back for three straight goals.

On most teams, he’s a 6 7 D man. I’m good.

I agree. It's just that you've done a 180.

I hear what you’re saying, but he was awful tonight…. And I feel like that’s the case too often.  I hope he finds a groove, if we’re hell bent on keeping him, but I have zero confidence he will.

Unfortunately i think your right. I read an article from Chevy about Stanley getting hurt at a key time in his development, the problem with that is Samberg missed alot of time with injuries too and has developed into a top 4 dman. I just don't think  Stanley has that hockey sense, he just makes poor decisions when under pressure.

His play tonight was indicative of low hockey IQ.   That 3rd pairing is an absolute gong show and a liability.   In playoffs it's going to matter.

I don’t want him in the top 4. If he’s not he’s ok as a 6 7 guy.

I don’t disagree. Low hockey IQ and slow. Fleury ain’t great either.
