View Full Version : Miller Back - Can he carry Sabres to playoffs?
comatoad 03-28-2009, 10:22 AM Ryan Miller is back in the crease for Buffalo, making 33 saves against Toronto last night, including the first 16 he faced, after coming back from his injury. Cujo, however, was yanked after Paille and Connolly scored 21 seconds apart.

doniceage 03-28-2009, 05:08 PM Miller or any goalie can carry a team when they get in a zone. As many have shown that a hot goalie can be a better team. Of course it doesn't usually doesn't happen for long. I think Miller will definitely put the confidence back in the troops.

P-C,
Like any goalie he can have a bad series as well. So will have to wait til the Playoffs start. Should be some fun as it almost time for the teams to finalize who is in and out.

Estovia 03-28-2009, 06:18 PM All we're managing to do at this point is make sure we get the worst possible draft pick, while still missing the playoffs.

Yeah but the Habs and the Sabres are battling for the LAST Playoff spot (Along with the Panthers) so if Miller gets hot now, the Sabres are in and the Habs are out... I don't really care if Miller gets cold in the Playoffs and they go out in 4, the Habs will already be out then... Get it?
So yeah, like I said, I hope NOT!

Sure any goalie can...just look at Carey Price :sign0020:

Just like Carey Price could get hot all of the sudden. It going to help how the team in front is playing O and D. No goalie can do it alone with out O support.
p.s. Best of luck on that front.

dmorgia 03-29-2009, 10:41 AM he had a shutout in the shootout last night. i think he does more than fine :)
geschrocks33 03-29-2009, 11:11 AM I think that no goalie can carry a team by themselves, they need help at one point.
Miller was quoted saying before he came back "I'm not a savior" which he isn't, but hopefully he will bring that emotional aspect that we need to play better and make a good run at the playoffs
Redman08 03-29-2009, 12:58 PM I think Miller cuold help the m BUT, Vanek and Pomniville must pick up there game
senrab 03-29-2009, 04:52 PM I'm glad they have stepped it up and won the last 3 games (2 with Miller) but I still think it's too little too late.
geschrocks33 03-29-2009, 06:11 PM Pominville has been picking it up, he's been playing great the past few games.
