VANEKS A CANCER

In all seriousness, he's not a cancer, but I do think it does prove that even Vanek can be traded to make this team better.

let's keep it in perspective...

the isles were a tired team...the sabres were lucky to get out it with a point much less two

I will say this, when the score was 3-1, Miller played lights out for the rest of the game. Perhaps the first time since the Lucic hit where I saw glimpses of the team trying hard to make a positive play after he made a big save.

gotta give him credit for the second half of the game, ot and shootout

Yeah, keeping all those goals to himself! Totally selfish player, maybe they just like leaving it until after the allstar break. Big TEst on Wednesday night, looking forward to it.

Oh, I agree. My point, though, is, unless he's 21 years old or younger and putting up those kinds of numbers, nobody should be considered untouchable, including Vanek or Pominville.

methinks that lucic hit sent him into lala land for over two months

Kind of like Pominville's concussion last year?

if the sabres keep this up, they will be looking to add...and i don't know if that's a good thing

- b0s0o1

he was playing sluggish before the hit, but he has strung together 4 descent games in a row for the first time since the start of the year

- buffalofan19

yeah...it took him a while to get back to his normal level of play...months after he was cleared

Miller - 1.25 GA & .9593 Save % in last 4

That's what we all have been expecting! ... and that includes the awful giveaway from Weber, leading to a goal... GRRRR

Way to go Sabres!

7/8 points, did we gain more then 2 points in the standings during this stretch?

Quiet, you! He might not have seen the last two games!

it is nice to see him play descent for a change, I grow tired of using his as one of the whipping boys

Possibly, but I still don't think a lottery pick is that big of a deal, especially this year. It's easy to get caught up in the hype when a guy like Crosby, or even Tavares comes out, but that guy doesn't exist in that draft. I know Yakupov is supposed to be a stud, but I am wary of the fact that Russians seem to have a "regular season only" clause in their contracts. Besides, like baseball, in the NHL draft, you don't need to give up an arm and a leg in order to trade up if you really, really like a guy in the draft.

Plenty of whipping boys to choose from.
