good goalie we got there

Disagree. Yeah we saw Miller at his best, but he also wasn't very good. He had two 1-0 shutouts, very good. He also let in 20 goals in the other 5 games or 4 goals per, not very good. Sv% in 4 of those 5 was below .900, not very good. Whereas the team offensively averaged over 3+ goals per in those other 5 games, pretty good for playoffs. Can be argued all day long about the players in front of him, the bottom line is he didn't stop enough rubber to get the job done, and the team was putting the puck in the net against a 3 headed monster of nobody goalies. I think Philly was a better team but Ruff got out coached and Miller got outplayed.

What does someones screen name have to do with anything? You know you lost when you feel the need to rag on someone because of their screen name or because of their spelling.

What does any of this matter when he consistently lets in weak goals from the blue line?

Bore me, please. Those Tampa teams he played on were horrible and it is safe to say Miller had a better team than did Smith during Smiths Tampa years.

Why in the world would Phoenix do that, they have Mike Smith. Smith is better than Miller. I think fans are going to find out Miller doesn't have much value because of his contract and frankly he isn't that good of a goalie.

I agree with you JJ. The bold part gave me a chuckle. Miller is almost entering the pro Fitzpatrick land with the excuses.

No he didn't. Miller started 05/06 as #1 then broke his thumb and Biron came in and played however many games in a row, then Ryan was given the job back.

Isn't that what they did with Miller? Just gave him the job, right? They didn't ease him into it, he didn't prove anything before it was given to him.

He showed it. Start of 2011/2012, look it up. 11 of the 15 games he played, his sv% was .923 or higher. He only had 9 more starts the rest of the year and 4 of those starts he had .923 sv% or higher. His sv% was better than Millers last year. What were you looking for?

Again I ask, why can't Enroth be the #1 guy in Buffalo?

Yep it should. I see you advocating for J Bernier in the GD thread. Why him over Enroth? Extremely similar career stats. Same age, similar body. Why Bernier over Enroth?

Really? when was he ever given a chance to be consistent?

Why can't Enroth be a #1?

Yep, Enroth was good for sure. If they are going to rebuild, and I think that is their only option, you rebuild around Enroth not Miller.

I think he is an average goalie at best. Anyway, who would want a goalie on the downhill slide? Maybe a superstar goalie on the downhill slide has some value but I can't see someone wanting an average goalie on the downhill slide. Especially not for $6+ million per.

I can't wait either, as I think they will get better in goal, which will hopefully lead to more wins. I'm on board with that.

who cares what he won 4 years ago, it's old news. sports are all about what have you done for me lately and can you help me win now. the answer to that is no not really. time to move on.

I don't think Vanek much liked Ruff. JMO of course.

Flynn is a keeper

Luckiest guy right now is TJ Brennan. He's got to be really happy to leave this mess.

Well, Ruffs system didn't work. Rolston had to play Ruffs system in Rochester. Hmmm.....

quitters

I think Ruff has ruined these guys beyond repair.
