J.T. Miller Opens Up On Losing Vincent Trocheck Long-Term
Following the devastating news captain J.T. Miller spoke out on losing Trocheck from the Rangers lineup, and it's safe to say he has some strong feelings. Here's what he had to say:
#NYR captain J.T. Miller on the loss of Vincent Trocheck:
"It sucks. He's such a big part of the team, leader for the team. Plays in all situations. But just his presence being around -- it's been a short time, it's only been half a day, and it's already a crappy feeling. I know what he means to this group and especially not just his play, but his presence in the room. It's a good time to lean on other people and the rest of the guys to pick up some slack here. We're going to need guys to pull a little more tonight and for whatever happens in the future, but he's definitely going to be missed."

Hopefully this won't impact the New York Rangers too much as they look to secure a victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins after losing 4-0 during their season opener.
