What an absolute snipe job this was by J.T. Miller. 1-1 on the west coast. #NYR pic.twitter.com/w9yYfbXmaM

After falling down 1-0 early, J.T. Miller snipes one in the Shark Tank to get the New York Rangers tied up on the west coast.
There are NHL goals and there are NHL goals. For those who don’t know the difference, I’m sorry to be so confusing.
You should know the difference.
The second type is clearly italicized which means the talent needed to execute one of these bad boys at this level is obscene. Only the world’s greatest snipers and danglers could showcase an NHL goal. And while New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller would never be confused with an all-time dangler or sniper, he dropped a few jaws Tuesday night at the Shark Tank.
Check out the video above. With New York down 1-0 early, Miller took the puck and absolutely sniped one top-shelf short side to give his team their first of the night.
Miller even did it while playing on the fourth line, a night of demotion.
The two teams rest during the first intermission with the San Jose Sharks enjoying a 2-1 lead.
