Ryan Miller Announces Retirement From the NHL

[lost in dc]

Barasso, Hasek and Miller….. wow. How fortunate can a franchise be? Too bad none won a Cup here

[Broken Ankles]

 Wish him all the best In retirement.  A truly great Buffalo Sabre.  I have so much in common with Ryan.  We currently live in OC.  We spent our formative years in the 716.  And we both like to make ourselves “big”.

If I were Mr.Pegula, I would immediately be on the phone with Miller and not let him off until he signed on in some sort of front office capacity before Anaheim does it.

West Coast Scout, done.

I miss him playing for the Sabres. First player I fell in love with. What he brought for the sabres was exemplary.

I hope we honour his commitment and achievements

Happy Retirement MillerTime!! Come back and train goaltenders in HarborCenter.

Is she working? That would decide it I'm betting. If not it's an expensive place to be they might as well move to the WNY area.

Silver Medal and Olympics MVP on his record.

I haven't forgotten when he and Lindy Ruff shook hands and smiled at each other in Vancouver after the Gold Medal game.

And another piece of my son's childhood passes.

You want her to move from Anaheim California to Buffalo NY...

This would be great, but I don't think anyone has ever voluntarily moved from Southern California to WNY.

Super long shot I know but those palm trees are expensive.

Miller is a Midwest guy, maybe he wants to get back to a slower way of life?

Legend.

I've told it here, but my favourite stories about Miller were (1) how he created a "hide in plain sight" Myspace account when he arrived in Buffalo. (2) My sports-know-nothing uncle lived near him around Elmwood Village, and told pleasant stories about how he enjoyed jamming on acoustic guitars with his nice new neighbour.

Sounds like your uncle lives in a very happy place.

I wish Miller the best.  The "WTF Wave" will be missed. Sounds like he wants a future in hockey(coaching or front office).  Hopefully he can find an opportunity with the Kings or Ducks organization assuming his wife still wants to be based out of SoCal for professional reason.

A long solid career.  Very good for a 5th round pick.

[Zamboni]

He started the world renowned “Miller shutout”. So that’s nothing to sneeze at. 

[Rasmus_]

Congratulations on one hell of a career.  The only thing he didn't win was a Stanley Cup.  His 2009-10 season is the best since Hasek in his prime.  Funnily enough, he finished with one more win than Hasek for 14th all time.  He's a US Hockey Hall Of Famer for sure.  He might be on the border of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

If he had a SC victory, he'd be a HHoF lock.  Without it, expect he'll eventually get it but it isn't a lock.  IMHO he's the best US born goalie & there are a few guys in the HHoF that wouldn't be there without being American (e.g. Housley).

I completely agree with everything you said.  Just going off the regular requirements for a lock!  I love MillerTime30.
