It’s on J.T. Miller to do more than just say right things for Rangers

DENVER — J.T. Miller has said and done all the right things off the ice since the “C” was stitched onto his No. 8 Rangers jersey before training camp over two months ago. 

On the ice, however, the Blueshirts captain has not produced nearly as much as the organization needs him to if they are going to successfully compete on a game-to-game basis. 

The two are not mutually exclusive. 

Over his 14 NHL years, which have been filled with many lessons with three clubs, Miller has become extremely self-aware. No one is more cognizant of the team’s need for him to step up more offensively than Miller himself.
