‘As it happens, Miller wasn’t a hockey fan until Meehan joined the Washington Capitals and moved in next door to Miller’s family in Bowie, Md. Miller was 14 at the time. The Caps were in their early years as an expansion team that lost a lot, while Meehan was a journeyman on his sixth NHL team. That might not seem like a likely road to hero worship. But today, at 57, Miller believes he has the largest collection of Meehan memorabilia in the world. And roughly two-thirds of it is related to the left winger’s time in Buffalo.’
