IKnowPhysics Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I'd like to admit that there was an omen in my household not too long ago that may have indicated that Miller was going to be traded and not resigned by Buffalo. I've washed dozens and dozens of hockey jerseys in the washing machine in my life, all with no problem, ever. Last month I washed my Miller jersey for the first time in a long, long time. And it was destroyed. Ripped apart, right around the crest. I'm not a very superstitious fellow, but I knew that if he were to be traded, it would be a very uncanny coincidence. I will now buy a Drew Stafford jersey and be sure to put that ###### on NOT DELICATE. Quote
dudacek Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I've been Sabres fan since 1975. Miller is definitely among my favourites. Competitive, talented, good leader and a good teammate. Thanks for everything. Now go win that cup. Quote
Tom Backyard Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Havent ever posted this idea before, but since today is the last day that it's relevant I will now. I always felt that Ryan Miller understood what bringing a Stanley Cup to Buffalo would mean. I think he understood, in a different way than most NHL'ers, that winning a championship in this town would bring immortal legend status. We are dying for a big time trophy, and the guys who make it happen will be Gods in Buffalo, and Miller got that. Quote

nfreeman Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Old guys like us (read nostalgic softies) need to stick together at times like these. I'm here for you, big guy. Hold me. I'm sad. I've been Sabres fan since 1975. Miller is definitely among my favourites. Competitive, talented, good leader and a good teammate. Thanks for everything. Now go win that cup. Me too. Quote
darksabre Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Bought an 8x10 photo on eBay today to add to my goalie wall. Miller will join Biron, Shields and Malarchuk. I'm sad. :( Quote
Hoss Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Probably fair to close this one out, or merge now. Quote
26CornerBlitz Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Ryan Miller tribute video (2/28/14) <0:49> A look back at Ryan Miller's career as a member of the Buffalo Sabres. Quote
Johnny DangerFace Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 One of my all time favorites. I'll miss him. Miller time is closed Quote
Eleven Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 BTW, anyone who thought that Miller was "average" can start right here: Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Bought an 8x10 photo on eBay today to add to my goalie wall. Miller will join Biron, Shields and Malarchuk. I'm sad. :( No Hasek or Barrasso? Quote
darksabre Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 No Hasek or Barrasso? I have no opinion of Barrasso. Hasek transcends the Sabres. He was a brilliant goalie, but he can hang on a Wings fan's wall. Quote
Andrew Amerk Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I have no opinion of Barrasso. Hasek transcends the Sabres. He was a brilliant goalie, but he can hang on a Wings fan's wall. Fair enough. The goalies on my wall are Hasek, Miller, Malarchuk, Barrasso, Puppa, and Kolzig. Quote
DeleteThisAccount Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Gibby must have been sipping the Duty Free vodkies from Sochi and felt bad for the old friend.... This is almost like the report on the Bills....do the Old Guard sources get the scoop, or will Ted and Bob Mac counter with the details 45 minutes before the trade???..... yep. that's what happened Dwight. Larry gave me this one. weird!? jw what's absolutely odd, is that the Ghost of Dwight Drane has enjoyed quite some time of holding court over this message board in suggesting he might know what's going on. i'd humbly suggest that, according to my sources, that reign just might be over.

North Buffalo Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Bought an 8x10 photo on eBay today to add to my goalie wall. Miller will join Biron, Shields and Malarchuk. I'm sad. :( You need to get a Roger Crozier http://buffalosportshallfame.com/member/roger-crozier/#prettyPhoto Quote

X. Benedict Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 It's signed jw, so it must be jw. It's not the signature, it is the time stamp. John is to the AP what Keith Moon is to The Who. Quote

It's an honor having an AP writer not only knowing who I am, but suggesting I hold court over a news medium while feeling the need to engage me over his own description of this humble internet poster.... If Larry Quinn has been hired by the Sabres.....I'm moving back to Florida... Quote
