Probably. Hasek = Hall of Fame. Miller = Hall of Very Good.

i think he is more of a master baiter


(see what i did there?)

He holds his own around here

Lafontaine gave an amazing effort and when he played you never walked away thinking he was going half speed like current sabres. Pierre Turgeon was a purse holding bum like Myers, soft and lacking in heart.

This is what I mean about lowering the standard. The standard is based on effort instead of actual results, like teams with a championship mentality.

Looks like the guys over at The Hockey Writers are staying eternally optimistic (seems to be a common attitude among Buffalo fans year after year hmmm?)

And then you look at Sports Media 101 who are basically saying we're boned.

Dam MC, that Avatar pic reminds me of the Amherst bike path killer, scares me.

I can't believe the hate for Miller.

He is a great goalie... always standing on his head.

He just got a little too vocal the last couple years.

Agreed...Ottawa playoff series when Pominville scored in OT, I believe it may have been game 2 that he stole in Ottawa.

to say never is a joke.. hell even Biron and shields probably stole a game a few times.

he is a decent goalie that had a few good seasons and one really really good one.

The hockey writers are correct. The key to this whole thing is Myers. If he takes his game seriously (i.e. he essentially becomes and earns the team's Masterton nominee), the defense corps will be very, very good. If Ristolainen is as NHL ready as people think he is, it becomes an even bigger bonus. Those are two big "if's" however.

His longevity and local presence will get him over the top as far as his place in Sabres history moreso than his actual accomplishments.

That may be a little bit of a stretch.

can we fall somewhere between never stole a game and is always standing on his head?

I'm not saying it's right, but it's "good enough" in this town, and always has been.

But I think that the question really is can this team make the playoffs. I say it entirely depends on what happenes to Vanek and Miller.

The question is do we want to make the playoffs at 7/8 or just bomb out for a high pick..... I vote door #2.

Not really - it depends on whether or not they end up in 8th place or higher

- Tsyolin

if vanek and miller play well we can make the playoffs in a 7/8 spot.. if they are not on the team we are shooting for that top 3 pick

Vanek goes....


Miller stays...


A ufa would see this team as a better destination with a top goalie than a wanna be elite scorer..
