Two or less Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I work with a guy who is a former trainer of the Buffalo Sabres and went to the Amerks game last night, and met up with an old friend whos still a current Sabres scout to catch up on things... and the scout told him Ryan Miller will be out for 4-5 months because they will have him get surgery. They thought rest would heal it but his leg isn't getting any better and will opt for surgery. Like i said, it's obviously a rumor. I don't know what was said because i wasn't there but i don't see why this guy would lie to me or i don't see why the scout, whos his friend, would lie to him. Take it for what its worth, but since i heard it today, i felt i needed to share it with you guys but i pray to god this is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Miller pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. (I'm just screwing around w/ you. Thanks for sharing the info.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, maybe they realised this team wasn't going anywhere with or without him in net, and decided he might as well get fixed up now so that he can be ready for next season, when hopefully two of "the core" are gone?

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Thank you for passing that on. If so...they will probably hide it as long as possible to sell tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 IF TRUE, now they have an excuse for basically throwing this season away. Nice. It's gonna be a looooong season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 IF TRUE, now they have an excuse for basically throwing this season away. Nice. It's gonna be a looooong season. AND an excuse for finishing dead last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluca67 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Thank you for passing that on. If so...they will probably hide it as long as possible to sell tickets Sad but true as they say. If Miller is out even a month the season is over. It would be time for a fire sale if they can actually find bidders for any of their roster.

PASabreFan Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 It would make the Enroth callup a little more understandable. See what you have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I actually had that suspicion myself after hearing Lindy struggle to give a time frame on his return. Miller said it was something that happened in training camp, right? A guy fell on him or something and it hasn't felt right since? Or did I misread that quote the other day? Either way, it sounds to me like a situation where if it's not getting better he will need surgery and could miss some serious time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreInFla Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I suspect this could be true. Why play Enroth unless they are seeing if he can be Lalimes backup or if they need to sign someone...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabres1970 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Who cares this team sucks anyway. Might as well bag the season, maybe they'll make a change...but probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chileanseabass Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I suspect this could be true. Why play Enroth unless they are seeing if he can be Lalimes backup or if they need to sign someone...... IF this is true, I'd have to think Enroth would start at least 50% of the games. I just can't see them signing anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 IF this is true, I'd have to think Enroth would start at least 50% of the games. I just can't see them signing anyone. IF this is true (I know, I know), then Marty Biron will be kicking himself big time. The main reason he didn't come back to Buffalo last summer was that he wanted to pick a team where he'd get a lot of playing time. He would have gotten almost a full season here as the no.1 if Miller is really out 5 months. As for the Sabres finishing dead last, it would probably be a good thing long term. We're clearing out a ton of dead weight after this season (assuming Darcy is smart enough not to re-sign anyone) and this would be a good time to draft a super prospect to replenish our top line. We already have Adam and Kassian under contract and on the way next year. If Miller is really gone for the rest of the season, we should trade a few of our other veterans for draft picks and pretty much call it a season. It's hard to make up ground in the NHL thanks to the loser points they give out for OT losses and we're off to the worst start in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalalalalaFontaine Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Miller is probably begging for surgery rather than backstop this bunch of bums that Regier has thrown together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korab rules Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 I call bs. Would need to be MAJOR to be out that long. If it was that serious he wouldn't have been able to play the last couple weeks. Worst case scenario it's a torn meniscus and with surgery he's out a month to 6 weeks.

The only thing shittier than the management of this team has been the training staff the past 5 years. Nothing would be surprising. i.e (Briere/Dumont/Kalinin/Connolly/Tallinder/D.Moore/Rivet) all missing months or playing worthless after being misdiagnosed or ignored.

bob_sauve28 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Wake up! It's obvious that Miller is dead. The team is just hiding this until there is anothere terrorist attack when they will release the the fact he is dead while everyone is distrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannustyrannus Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 1) a Sabres scout at an Amerks game? Who we haven't been affiliated with in two years? 2) Miller has been out a week. If he needed surgery, he would have had it six days ago. I call BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason he didn't come back to Buffalo last summer was that he wanted to pick a team where he'd get a lot of playing time. No. If this were the case, he wouldn't have signed to play behind Lundqvist, who is 28 and has played 70+ games 4 years in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VansTheMans Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 On the NHL Network they were saying that Miller's injury is worse than expected and he will be out "indefinitely". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
