don't mention my name in posts with miller, if you don't want to have the conversation

you threw it out 4 times

back it up or for the site STFU

- homiedclown


I’ve seen your anti-Miller arguments enough....
you’re wrong imo

Just don’t feel like going around in circles about it for pages

What's the difference, he get's in he get's in if he doesn't he doesn't. He was a good goalie, not great or spectacular, he was good.

You’re never gonna change your mind about him,
so why should i argue with you about it?

You’re just being Sbroads with Risto here

- jdfitz77

I accidentally flagged this.

- I’d love a reason to change my mind on the 5.4 mil bottom pairing defensemen but he hasn’t given a reason to.

No worries, it happens

And about Risto....
not looking to go 10rounds

Just using it as an example to show Homie’s dislike for Miller

I’m not either. My disdain is simple

Imagine if Girgensons was the #1 center for the last 7 years despite people behind him being better and him only scoring like 12 goals and 30 points in that role.

By year 8 you’d be totally over it.

That’s me with Ristolainen. I’m totally over him and have been for 3 years.

We haven’t really had anyone better till Dahlin imo

Also, it’s not Risto’s fault
U should be blaming the coaches for playing him so much

yet you can't make a case to use him over the other dozen goalies I listed


make the case and don't give me he's American because that would be a weak ass case

I was over miller when he cried because enroth was getting back to back starts after a friday night shutout


odds say it's time for risto to go
in the right situation we may regret it but it's time to turn the page

Why?

With that roster, what would be fair expectations for the team in view of playing 6 better teams and 1 other that is in the same ballpark.

I could take it or leave it but I felt better about him 2 weeks ago vs today

He has a tough gig with 0 NHL goaltenders, few defensemen who actually play defense, nothing to play for and no Eichel.

That said, I'm fine if they go in the Bruce direction but I don't want them picking a buckle-down guy. I really hope they don't do that

Also keep in mind this team has 0 centers with proven production and experience. Excluding Eakin

was he that much better then biron those seasons?
- homiedclown



Yes as a matter of fact he was


Presidents Trophy winning season:

Miller .911 save percentage 2.73 gaa GSSA 10.7
Biron .899 save percentage 3.04 gaa GSSA -3.5


05-06 Season

Miller .914 save percentage 2.60 gaa GSSA 18.2
Biron .905 save percentage 2.88 gaa GSSA 3.8

GSSA is goals saved above average

For me it's looking at the guys who are producing:

Mitts
Dahlin
Reinhart (at center)
Joker is playing much better

Granato has those guys going

But I also agree I don't want a Torts like buckle down kind of coach, this team has some good young puck movers.

miller 1.34 points per start 70-30-9
biron 1.3 points per start 33-12-4


we all know lindy did the back ups no favors and threw them out vs the tough teams on the road


is the gssa a fancy stat?
