Marvelo Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) Past 5 starts for Miller he is GPA 3.2 and 2-3 record. Blues fans are saying he's not looking good lately. Looks like those fluky longshots are starting to get past him again. Maybe they're not allowing enough shots? http://cinesport.stltoday.com/nhl-saint-louis-blues/highlights-miller-blues-fall-to-stars/ Edited March 30, 2014 by 716 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 As long as the Blues make the semis, I don't care if he plays on the Moon next year. That's the only thing that matters. Hopefully, Miller is average enough to get 'er done. Quote

Looks like those fluky longshots are starting to get past him again. Maybe they're not allowing enough shots? http://cinesport.stl...-fall-to-stars/ I was watching the 4th goal the Stars scored against him last night - he had a good look at it - it just beat him. And his SVG% isn't very good the last 5 games played - 110 saves out of 125 shots for .880 SVG% He's actually now dropped out of the Top Ten in all the stats. His SVG%, which is his best stat, has dropped to 11th in the league. I think he was 8th or 9th not that long ago. If he can just make it to the Semis, as Eleven mentioned, we'll be happy.

Hoss Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Ironic that the Blues could be the team that helps us complete the tank. If the Sabres lose their next two games in regulation they are officially guaranteed the best odds in the lottery and at least the number two pick. Thursday's game in St. Louis could be the one. They could, of course, finish it earlier if Edmonton wins and Florida gets a point between now and Tuesday night while we lose in regulation Tuesday. Quote

Marvelo Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I wanted to get rid of Miller awhile ago. The Sabres were in decline and in no need of a $6mil goalie. There's no axe, it's just water cooler talk; that lately he has started letting in bad goals. But I wish him all the luck to at least get to the conference finals...who among us doesn't want this to happen? It's just that Miller chronically lets in bad goals from time to time, wondering if it's a vision problem from the point. I think the Western Conference game is different...bigger bodies crashing the net, screening etc. and that exploits a weakness in our guy. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I want miller to win a cup, after being on this team for so long, he really deserves a ligit chance.... I haven't watched a minute of Blues hockey since the trade so I can't add a lot, I just get my info/gossip from here..... Can the blues actually make it to the conference/cup finals..... Seems like they may have some weaknesses Quote
Hoss Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I want miller to win a cup, after being on this team for so long, he really deserves a ligit chance.... I've asked this before, and I'll ask it again... Why? Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I've asked this before, and I'll ask it again... Why? Because I thought he was a good player for our team, for many years, and because he has Zero chance at winning anything in this city.... Just because he plays for a another team doesn't mean I shouldn't root for him (unless it's Boston, Toronto, etc) Now If it's buffalo vs. St Louis in the finals this year, then absolutely not.... But we know the flaw behind that theory Edited March 30, 2014 by wyldnwoody44 Quote

Just because he plays for a another team doesn't mean I shouldn't root for him (unless it's Boston, Toronto, etc) There's a difference between wanting him to win it and thinking he deserves it. I'm rooting for him in St. Louis, but I wouldn't say he "deserves" anything. It wasn't like any of his time here was really harsh or devastating. And it wasn't like he did enough to stop this team from being terrible. He was a part of it. Quote

Make a list of what we're allowed to talk about. You can talk about whatever you want, and you put it best by saying your post was only "mildly sarcastic." I found the anti miller posts annoying before the trade, and still do. That's all. Quote

I think the Western Conference game is different...bigger bodies crashing the net, screening etc. and that exploits a weakness in our guy. I agree. I don't think there are too many people here that truly hate Miller, or have "an axe to grind". Just because some people don't bow down to him like he's a god doesn't mean they hate him. Quote

That said, I don't want Saint Louis to join the "we have a cup" crowd before the Sabres do.

Sure he was part of it, I think part of me wants him to get it, but part of me still thinks he played hard and with the ruff "goalie rotation" he's earned it.... So some deserving, just like players like Ott that really seem to put it all out there, I'd be glad to see him win, however he wasn't a long time sabre, so I don't view him in the same light He carried this team through some tough times. He really does deserve a shot. That said, I don't want Saint Louis to join the "we have a cup" crowd before the Sabres do.

I always forget about the "don't win a cup before us" and I'm completely on board with that statement.... Just please no Boston. Quote

Just please no Boston. Don't worry about Boston; they have a goalie and he won't want to go there anyway. Detroit (home) and Anaheim (wife, to a certain extent, although she spent significant time in Buffalo) are naturals. Quote
Marvelo Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) I think Miller's ability to pick and choose where he wants to go this summer is all dependent on his performance in the playoffs. He couldn't ask for a better defensive team in front of him. If he lays an egg, I doubt Anaheim, Detroit or any top teams will want him, especially for the pricetag he wants as a 33 year old goalie.

The zero cup NHL franchise list has grown ever shorter over the past decade, and we're certainly not getting crossed off that list in the next 3 to 4 seasons. We need to keep a tight hold on all the miserable company that we can. However, if the Blues met another team in the finals that also has never won one then I'd root for the Blues. Quote
Hoss Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 Ryan Miller with the shutout through OT. That counts in my book. Quote
