If we trade Miller I'm not too concerned as it's rare we will put up 5 in a night (which we will need to do regularily). Having said that, a loss tomorrow night will make me feel much better.

Hhahahahha same.

Yep, especially with Enroth in net.

I'm pretty sure it happened in Colorado once too but I'm blanking on who the player was right now. Adam Foote maybe?

Now you're just sounding like Hitler late in WW2 :P Everyone knew it was over but him.

I'm not trying to direct this specifically at you but I've read a couple times already about trading up to #1 next year. This will not happen period. If we end up at #1 would you consider trading out of acquiring an absolute franchise changing player? No way I or any other team does. Colorado was loaded at centre last year but wouldn't trade out of taking McKinnon. No chance anyone trades out of McDavid, even for Eichel. I really hope I don't have to read 5 million posts about trading up to #1 next year because it will not happen.

Did he get hurt last night? I didn't notice while watching.

Yep, I agree with pretty much all of that. I don't want this big Miller decision (assuming there is even a decision which I doubt very much based on Millers attitude towards resigning) coming down to well we could only get a 2nd round pick rather than a 1st so let's lock him up.

Now do you really believe Phoenix will have a team in 2020?? :P

He could but I would think that he knows if he signs with a contender it's much less likely than a bottom feeder who's appeared to have been dangling him for awhile now.

I think the problem with this was well pointed out by Tank that why would Miller resign with Buffalo if there is even a hint that he will be traded in a couple of years? Why wouldn't Miller say thanks but no thanks, I'll sign for big money on my terms in a couple of months.

Tank on Brother. Tank on.

I've posted this in the Miller thread but I say absolutely not.

But is that not a Darcy move to see we can't get a ton for him at the deadline so we try and scramble and sign him. I for once want us to think long term, have a plan in place and go with it. It has seemed obvious to me that TM has wanted to trade Miller rather than re-sign. So get what you can (even if it's considerably less than you want) and follow the plan you have in place. I don't want him to go for nothing either but signing Miller to a Lundqvist type contract is a huge decision that I dont want to be decided based on a potential deadline deal in 2014 that may or may not materialize. I agree on the Darcy fu$king us over part. I guess I'm just getting tired of these reactionary moves....

Is anyone else troubled by if the reports that if the Sabres are unable to trade Miller by the deadline they are going to try and re-sign him? I want this new management team to have clear direction. Paying a ton of money to a goalie can have a huge impact on the future shape of this team. I'm not sayinjg I want or don't want them to re-sign Miller but if your decision is to trade him and move on then that's what you do. I don't want a lack of demand for a rental goalie at the deadline to force managements hand to re-sign him. Make your decision and stick to it!

:w00t:

Completely agree with you and Weave on the Miller front. Although if you're the Blues and see what happened at the olympics, how could you not think about upgrading?

Great win by the Canadians but it was pretty expected. I figured the winner of that canada us game would win gold. Unbelievable defence all tourney. Party time in canada!!

Gold medal game baby!! Go Canada Go! Go Canada Go!

This may go down as the best D core Canada has ever sent to the olympics. Unreal play from the back end. The US had a number of shots but not too many were of high quality. Canadians were great at boxing out the Yanks and playing physical.

Have not read a post yet. Just got back from the bar. All I can say is GO CANADA GO GO CANADA GO GO CANADA GO! This is our game baby!!!!!!!!!

Hahahahaha, I've also heard the what do you call a sophisticated Canadian joke in reverse. I must say that I laughed out loud to that first one.

That's very true, it would be great for Crosby to do something out there. I also agree with an earlier poster saying this could be a high scoring game. Should be a good one!

Yo Mama so fat she's probably American! Only in America can they take French Toast, Canadian Bacon and an English Muffin and call it an All-American breakfast. What is the difference between Americans and the engines of the jets on which they travel abroad? After they land, the engines of the jets quit whining.

Ya I also don't have a good feeling about this. Canada has looked out of sorts at times this tourney. Having said that, this will be game 5 so maybe they will start to gel as the game goes on. If we're going to win it's because Weber and Doughty continue to distroy people as they have all tourney. If not for those two I don't know if this team is in the semis.
