Toddkaz Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 it has been anounced MILLER is back BYE BYE BIRON Let the rumors begin!!!! HEY nothing wrong with being right and nothing wrong with rubbing it in SHREDDER don't be a payer hater!
Strow Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Where did you see this???? Last I heard he wasn't even on the ice yet.
Guest Guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 WGR said he was in full gear and taking shots... I wouldn't give Biron a going away party just yet... taking some shots in practice and being able to ship Biron out are two different things. marty came up big for us and i'm glad we have him... Ruff says Norenon is playing tonight, we'll see if he is healed or what. Groin injuries can linger... like I said, be glad that we have Biron and that Darcy didn't pull the trigger for a bag of pucks just yet.

JujuFish Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 above post was me.... sorry, didn't realize I wasn't logged in Don't you hate when that happens? I do. Hopefully Miller will be able to quickly return to full strength. He may be playing again, but I bet he's a bit rusty.

He may be playing again, but I bet he's a bit rusty. That's what I'm worried about...That it will take him a couple games to get back to his usual level, and people will get impatient, especially the Biron lovers. Let's be patient with him when he gets back.
jp... Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Where would this team be if they had traded Marty?...probably dead last...as much as i hated Regier for this 3 headed goalie monster, so far, this year it has paid off... I wouldn't be so quick to trade Biron...yet

jp... Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 Well, i guess i'm saying that Darcy not trading Biron when he had the chance this year was a good move...i agree that Regier procrastonation has been brutual and that no credit should be given unless you mention in the same breath last year's disaster
Guest Guest_toddkaz Posted December 2, 2005 Report Posted December 2, 2005 this is my point people say Reiger dropped the ball for waiting or he was lucky we still have Biron Unless you are Ruff or Reiger Please explain to me how you are so SMART to know he dropped the ball waited to long or did what he wanted and wanted to wait? Please i am knocked for saying i know and understand NHL hockey but please explain to me how all of you poeple know what goes on inside an NHL GM's OFFICE or more specificly THE BUFFALO SABRES office? I don't say anything other then what is obvious. How do you get your credibility by telling us what reiger did or didn't do??

Let's be patient with him when he gets back. agreed with that... i mean i don't know why we'd ship biron out of here as fast as you guys want him out... were still going to need him for a little bit to see if miller is still alright and the thumb isn't bothering him.

I don't say anything other then what is obvious. How do you get your credibility by telling us what reiger did or didn't do?? There is no way for anyone to know for sure what is going on in Darcy's office, unless they work there, which as far as I know, none of us do...BUT I think people are looking at what Darcy has done in the past and making educated guesses as to exactly what is happening. It would get pretty boring around here if people didn't speculate a little. I think people are especially frustrated because, if I remember correctly we were told at first that the three goalie situation would be taken care of before the start of the season, and what did Darcy do? He traded for a 4th goaltender. Which would make sense if he was getting ready to move 1 or 2 of the other goalies, but he didn't do that. Darcy has a history of waiting too long to make a deal. I think everyone got frustrated because there are a few teams out there that were desperate for goaltending (eg: Atlanta, Edmonton) and yet nothing happened. Personally I also found it frustrating because the team's budget falls well below the salary cap, and the extra money we are spending on goaltenders could be spent on a defenseman. With that being said, I think the team lucked out that Darcy hadn't made a move yet. While the team has benefitted from it, he shouldn't be rewarded for it unless he has a crystal ball in his office that told him Miller was going to get hurt at practice on November 2.

Here is another point Just becuase REIGER says something doesn't mean it is written in stone. Do you think maybe he is playing the media and maybe other GM's? Maybe he is using the media to let 30 other GMs "let's Trade" instead of calling them all individually. I am sure it is a tactic used regularly. Think about it. ;)

Think about it. ;) and his coach? ruff is the 1st one that i saw said that the goalie monster would be sorted out. he cant be too happy. im sure regier had all intentions of moving one, but desperation must not set in, or we would get nothing. and in 3 months time we would bitch about how he should have waited. at least when a trade does come we should get something in our favour for a goalie.

hopeleslyobvious Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 Didn't feel like starting a new thread for this...When does everyone else think he should come back? After reading the articles it looks like he needs a little time to build up strength in his thumb. I'd also give him a few games down in Rochester reconditioning. With Biron playing like he is, why not let Miller work off the rust for a few games, and build his confidence back up. Of course, maybe I just don't want to listen to the Biron lovers if he is a little rusty when he comes back (j/k...well sort of).

Of course, maybe I just don't want to listen to the Biron lovers if he is a little rusty when he comes back (j/k...well sort of). that would be the smart cautious way to do it... and i agree with you and would probably run it that way if i could... however everyone is so excited that miller is almost back and everyone wants him NOW... not in a few games... NOW... so i think he'll be thrown right in to the fire.

Rochester might be a good idea but it doesn't sound like Miller think so. linky "It's up to the coaching staff," he said. "I feel I've stayed in really good shape. I feel if they need me in net (tonight against Anaheim or at Minnesota on Sunday), I can play."
apuszczalowski Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 Personally I also found it frustrating because the team's budget falls well below the salary cap, and the extra money we are spending on goaltenders could be spent on a defenseman. Why would we need to free up money being spent on goalies to get a defencemen when we are so far below the salary cap?
inkman Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 The team operates on a 29 million dollar budget so they can break even/make minimal $. So in order to get a player making $ they need to give up a player making $. :)

"I feel I've stayed in really good shape. I feel if they need me in net (tonight against Anaheim or at Minnesota on Sunday), I can play." Well if he's confident, that's what counts.

hopeleslyobvious Posted December 8, 2005 Report Posted December 8, 2005 On the plus side though is the fact that every day we are $10 million under the cap gives us more room to work with at the trading deadline!
