[SABRES 0311]

So, Miller is a HOF, top 3 goalie ever then, right?

technically on paper and in this one category yes. However when adding in all the other career stuff then no.

I hope we are still here discussing in a few years ahead, about Ullmark and his greatness, brining home the S.C to Buffalo. This is my dream scenario for sure! :D

I want to be on record as saying I didn't bring this up.  :angel: 

 

But you don't have to twist my arm.  :D

I'm down for a Miller thread :ninja dude:

I think you're on to something here. I noticed it Tuesday night (and seem to remember it other times) that the D don't skate down past the goal circles very often until the third and the Sabres are down by 2+. Florida scored and suddenly Risto is skating down below the goal trying to make things happen. I suppose it could be Risto taking things into his own hands, but I have to think it's coaching.

Would be very interested in seeing if that is due to a lack of trust in the goalies, or if it is inherent in DB's system. After Lehner is back ~1 month, hopefully we'll get that answer. (And hopefully, it is Lehner is playing well enough to give the D confidence that an odd man rush, & especially a breakaway, isn't fatal. If he plays strong, the O will pick up (unless hanging D back is inherent; considering they do join the rush when desperation sets in, hoping that isn't the case).

While we're talking about Sabres goalies, anyone notice Neuvirth is 2nd in the league in save percentage?

No and I don't care. Not even a little.

He was the most talented of the tank goalies.

I'd also say the 2nd best goalie we've had since Hasek (Lehner gets incomplete).

But that might push talk back to a certain ex-Spartan again.

And we could have had him for just money.  Not a first round pick.  He's having a heck of a year.

I loved Neuvirth. Obviously his play was making last years goal for the team difficult, but he was damn fun to watch. I was convinced we would get him back after last season, boy I wish I was right. :cry:
