Most players who have been out of action for as long as he has take more than a few games to get their timing back. I doubt that his play is going to be sharp enough to want to make a GM offer anything more than a piddling amount for his services. The real action in adding to this roster is going to be in the offseason, especially around the draft.

Can’t watch the game. In a hotel due to a hockey tournament and they have it blacked out.

Please provide some commentary. Thanks.

[French Collection]

Having to watch the Leafs broadcast, they are winning so are back to being the greatest team.

I guess I am addicted to hockey.

Unfortunately, the terms “Miller” and “show well” seem to be mutually exclusive.

Put him on PP2, take some hopium and wait for an offer.

I still think he can bring back a 2nd.

It's possible but he'll need to have a couple of strong games to make that happen.  Hopefully the adrenaline carries him in tonight's game.  He's been off for quite some time now.

Will Mcdavid make Anderson look like he's 40 tonight? Will Fitzgerald fight Kane? We're about to find out!

No on the Fitzgerald-Kane Fight. He’s still out

That's tough, because they spent that whole McDavid shift with the puck right until the end. They did it by choosing not to dump it in for their line change when they knew he was coming, and keeping possession instead. Smart hockey that didn't pay off that time

[Brawndo]

Ugh

[Bangarang]

McDavid is really good at hockey 

[ubkev]

Jesus Christ, that guy is good.

[Randall Flagg]

Keep fighting boys

Good to see Miller back in the lineup tonight....I know he's a UFA, but part of me would not mind having him back (if he could be re-signed with a reasonable contract).  He had one especially bad season with Buffalo, but otherwise he has been fairly neutral from a +/- standpoint on other teams.  Being a RHD on a third pairing would be okay with me.

[SwampD]

The Sabres a re a scrambly mess so far.

[SDS]

I don’t ever remember Jack and Sam doing the things that Connor and Leon do. 😳

Because they don't.

This is like the game of Sabres broken dreams… McDavid, Draisaitl, Kane, Kassian…

He's never allowed one from the blue line.

Kind of takes me back 30 years when the names were Gretzky and Messier.

[Randall Flagg]

Hoo boy.

MIller forget how to skate ?
