Like are they having the ceremony, then player warmups, then the 20 minute break then the game? Ooof. Quote
inkman Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Coming into the GDT, in which the Sabres are celebrating one of their own, only to piss all over him is certainly a choice. Not a very enlightened one, that’s for sure. 1 Quote
pi2000 Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Does Ryan Miller deserve his own special night? Great dude, average goalie IMO. I'll alllow it. Edited January 19, 2023 by pi2000 Quote

Expand I wouldn’t have retired the dude’s number, if you are going to retire any number at all, for me you do that if you can’t reasonably see someone surpassing their accomplishments, so why bother giving them a shot at living up to the number. Hello Hasek. But he was a very good goalie, one of the best we’ve ever add, he’s deserving of a special night for sure. I can only assume your “average” lingo is hyperbolic, there isn’t really a reading of the stats that gets to that conclusion As for the eye test, he was a fundament piece during the 2 seasons that make the rest of this dearth worth living through Quote
OverPowerYou Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 Will Audacy all be airing this? Won’t be getting home till 6:30 Quote

Eleven Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 I have classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and this is getting annoying. Why the Sabres didn't take my personal schedule into account this year is beyond me. Quote

Rip Titwide Posted January 19, 2023 Report Posted January 19, 2023 It's not on the normal out of market ESPN link you may use. You have to literally go to ESPN+ .com and log in and they have the ceremony as it's own thing it seems. 1 Quote

OverPowerYou Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) When the full length YouTube video of this ceremony is up can someone post? I missed the whole thing Edited January 20, 2023 by OverPowerYou 1 Quote
Pimlach Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) The Miller ceremony is covered on ESPN+ at 6:00, I am on it and it shows nothing the game is at 730 or 700. What is correct? also have intermittent Wi-Fi so I might not see it 😞 Edited January 20, 2023 by Pimlach Quote
