JohnRobertEichel Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 I don't know what to say about Miller this year. One night he saves the game, the next night be blows it. And it's not like he has no help because the sabres really did own the tempo for most of the game. Just one of those games you just have to shake your head at and if we don't make the playoffs its a game we can point to. He's too mentally soft to ever be considered an elite goaltender. 14 of our last 19 games are back-to-backs. Let Enroth play 7 of the last 19. If Enroth looks competent enough, trade Miller this summer for that elusive top center plus picks. Move Miller now while there are still teams out there who haven't figured out how overrated he is.
LGR4GM Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Boyes, connolly, vanek, myers, and (blank?)on the top pp unit?
thesportsbuff Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 someone should make a .gif image of Miller flailing around after his turnover.
SwampD Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 That was a performance by 19 guys worthy of a playoff game, and a performance by one guy that belongs in the preseason. What a shame. I agree. Nieds really should have been in there instead of Gerbe.
sabre snipe Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Thought ennis and boyes played a great game tonight...sekera was solid as well. Wasn't a fan of butler gerbe or vanek tonight, and obviously miller. Really should've won that game we really controlled the play. Oh well, gained a point on the rangers at least and we are 4-0-2 since pegulas take over and that terrible 3 game losing streak. As a side note the maple leafs gained another point on us...

I'm beginning to think that Miller is too comfortable. He knows there is no competition. So, bring up Enroth and let him play. Dump Lalime, who is really nothig more than Miller's security blanket. With Enroth around -- and playing -- perhaps Miller will feel some heat and start performing to the level one expects from an "elite" goalie.
ROC Sabres Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Triple scoop of soft-serv indeed. Neopolitan Miller!!! 3 flavors of WTF!

SwampD Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 I don't care that Miller let in a soft one to lose the game tonight. I really don't. It was a great game. But if in his post game interview he says else than, "I just blew it, it's on me" and tries to lay the blame somewhere else, I will mind a lot.
nobody Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 I'd play Enroth in the Sat game - and if he wins; play him again on Sun..
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Just got back from game blame this loss on PP and Miller. Why he was trying to play puck and than slow moving back to crease on second goal. Terrible line change on first goal and Sekara I think made a bonehead play before canes goal. Oh well the canes fans were subdued tonight until as well left the arena. Lots of empty seats in lower bowl and up top
biodork Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Good grief - watching highlights of the ATL / OTT game and the entire 100 level near center ice looks empty... embarrassing for the Thrashers.
LGR4GM Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Neopolitan Miller!!! 3 flavors of WTF! AWESOME!
Derrico Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Wow, life of a goalie.....One minute he's a saviour, the next he's a goat. Where's Enroth?!.......
LGR4GM Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 anti miller forum.. wait for it... wait for it... there it is.
rbochan Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Sekera would be benched for 5 games if he played like Miller did.
deluca67 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Wow, life of a goalie.....One minute he's a saviour, the next he's a goat. Where's Enroth?!....... That's professional sports. Bill Buckner, Mitch Williams and Scott Norwood are examples of how a career can be defined by one play. It works both ways. Dwight Clark, Buster Douglas and Robbie Thompson are examples of how one play can make a career.
deluca67 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 anti miller forum.. wait for it... wait for it... there it is. Comes with the contract.
LGR4GM Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Comes with the contract. agree with that hes gotta own up but hes been good lately so i can cut him some slack.
Claude_Verret Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks for pretending you know who Tom Barrasso is. Please. Get a clue.
ROC Sabres Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 AWESOME! I'm having a good night. I posted about 5 good one liners. I think I should jump on the medical bandwagon like they did with Campbell for veins and sweating. See if Miller will endorse my Colonoscopy Clinic. I'll have his catch line be, "When something soft going through me doesn't hurt anyone else"
Realist Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Just back from the game. Miller didn't have any OMG saves, but he plenty of "OMG what the hell are you doing" plays. This game was all on him.
Marvelo Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Just looks like he is the opposite of fresh. It's not his fault, it's Lindy's chronic goalie mismanagement...he's playing him into the ground.
Claude_Verret Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 I feel bad for Claude; I'm sure he's taking some flak right now. I took a good amount of flak, but I've got a fun story involving whining canes fans, security, and my canes fan buddy that set things straight. I'll tell it tomorrow. The Sabres, mostly Miller (who based on one bad game is distinctly inferior to Barrasso apparently), gift wrapped that one to the Canes.
SabreInFla Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 Just looks like he is the opposite of fresh. It's not his fault, it's Lindy's chronic goalie mismanagement...he's playing him into the ground. What about the other goalies in the league that play as many games as he does? Are they better? Do they get more sleep? I just don't think the playing him into the ground theory should be used to cover that he isn't the superstar we have bought into him being.
