‘How dependent was Buffalo on its league-leading goaltender? Let us count the saves. Sixteen in the first period and another 10 in the second before his teammates finally concluded his effort was too strong to waste. This makes Miller 4-0 on the season, with six goals allowed on 105 shots, good for a .942 save percentage. It appears he was serious about all that title talk when he signed the new contract. Just ask Marco Sturm, the Boston winger who twice thought he had the game put away only to have Miller thwart him with dazzling saves.’
