A year ago, everyone in here was calling Pominville over rated and had the worst contract on the team at 5.3M cap hit

I tried explaining that a guy who barely misses any games, is good for 20+ goals and 60+ points $5-5.5M is valuable. I wouldve put my money on him being named the next captain everyone else thought it was going to be Vanek.

Pominville is having another normal Pominville year and everyone loves him, probably because hes our point leader and just got the C.

You could maybe argue slightly overpaid... but in todays market... there will always be guys producing more points making a bit less... or guys making more (like gomez) who is doing jack poop. He gets the job done... would take him on my team in a heartbeat.

I won't argue that... but I'm too tired to get into the Ryan Miller being overrated debate

Not everyone.

I believed he would be named captain as well. I also said that to replace Pominville on the roster you would need 2 guys, one that's going to score you 20+ goals as well as someone who can play big minutes defensively and that it would end up costing more to go that route than his current contract.

It's especially enjoyable because the Leafs actually are about the worst team in the league presently.

Miller was terrible after the Lucic hit until the last 20 games. Since then I bet he's been amongst the best in the league.

We had the stats in here the other day after the Rangers game. They only get better after tonight.

Since all star break:

8-2-3 14 GP 13 GS 25GA 838MIN 3SO 1.79GAA 415SA 390SV .940SV%

Gaustad isn't coming back. People should probably realize that. If you did your job to a pretty high level would you take less money the next year? Unless you want to spend $3 million a season on him he's going to go somewhere else.

you better hope ryan doesnt talk him into coming back then.

you better home ryan doesnt talk him into coming back then.

Miller doesn't pay his bills. He's not coming back unless the Sabres give him $3 million a year. If they do that they are out of their minds.

I thought it would be Vanek, I still think Pomminville is too soft/peripheral of a player, but you know what he gets points, pk/pp and is a very responsible 2 way player and see-ing some of the contracts going around, his is seeming more and more reasonable.

However, it is amazing how getting in a winning groove, makes you forget about the bad "salary's"

So can we stop complaining about how he whined that they traded Goose?

Everyone said they wanted him to shut up and stop the puck. Does this qualify as him doing that?
- HonkFortheGoose

yes, if he plays close to this level then people,including myself, will stop complaining about him

nice game

Boyes with a million dollar goal last night. 4 goals. $4 mil. Easy maff.

All he has to do is stop talking. He isn't very good at it, win or lose.

Love how Tropp just gets to work. There is no 'Andrew Peters Dance'. He ripped off the elbow pads and just grabbed hold of the dude and started swinging.

He might lose more than he wins but he'll stick his chin in there.

100% agree. He isn't trying to make a statement, or send a message, or prove a point. He just wants to fight. I'm a big fan of tossing your helmet before you start throwing too.

Something I dont often say here .Miller you were the man last night. I want to also say this.The poopt the Ducks started at the end of the game was classless and beneath them.Anyone hold thier breath when Myers jumped in ?We dont need him fighting fresh off an injury.I loved the jump this team had tho they were like Bees buzzing around the only flower in town.

Sorry, I'll clarify.

To those posters who thought Miller needed to shut his mouth and stop the puck, does this qualify as him doing that?


- HonkFortheGoose

Excuse me goose but all we said is that he needs to "shut up and play hockey" My exact quote. Nobody ever said to "shut up and stop the puck". He is payed to play hockey not whine about his little friend being traded. This is one thing about him that pisses people off. He is a good player with a very big Yap.............

I'm one of the first to throw Miller under the bus because of his contract but he's been pretty lights out lateley.. No better example than last night. His best game I've seen in quite a while. He stole the game for the entire 3rd period last night.

Somebody got a little West coast nookie !!

A few days ago fans would have thought they woudl be out of their minds for thinking of trading Kassian away.
