While Miller is not the biggest player, his fight on the ice is. Miller has an incredible shot that is able to find the back of the net, but he is also able to play a very physical game. Miller can lay some big hits, allowing him to knock other guys off the puck and force turnovers. He is willing to do just about anything for his team, even if it means dropping the gloves every so often.
