miller76 463 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 one of my favourite goalies in the league. I was really hoping the Sabres this year could be the ones to upset the Bruins or Habs, come playoff time. Now I am not so sure they could even hold on for an eighth seed. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/586401.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 I'm rather fond of Miller. I hate to see anyone injured except those who deserve it (2002 Pronger). I said no in the poll because I think Miller is their rock, but I don't count them out completely. This just knocks their chances down to "slim". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzersyukstromberg 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2009 No Miller = No Playoffs for the Sabres. Lalime is just plain lousy these days, and Buffalo isn't going to go far without getting Miller back in the lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miller76 463 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 No Miller = No Playoffs for the Sabres. Lalime is just plain lousy these days, and Buffalo isn't going to go far without getting Miller back in the lineup. I wonder if they will be a buyer at the deadline now to keep the possibilities alive for the postseason. I am curious to see if they decide to unload Teppo Numminen and Maxim Afinogenov here at the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Even if they did make the playoffs, their chances decrease substantially without Miller. That really sucks for them. It's only going to make it easier for a select one or two teams out in the East in hopping over them or beating them in the postseason. Hopefully he can make a speedy recovery and get back on the ice to help the Sabres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully he can make a speedy recovery and get back on the ice to help the Sabres. I wonder if they are thinking like Anaheim is. NHL home ice on xm this morning was reporting, that Anaheim is not expecting a long run into the postseason, if they even make it. He said they were willing to listen to any team about a trade, bringing youth and speed to the team for Pronger or even Scott Niedermayer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 With no Miller, it might be another season of: "Oooooh, ahhhhh, Sabres on the golf course." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 The toolbags on versus seem to think that they will look at Lalime for a game or two. If they dont see stellar performance they would likely trade for a goalie at the deadline. And the liklihood of them landing Fernandez is not likely, due to being in the same division as Boston. I am thinking Lehtonen or Tellqvist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmubronco420 25 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 it sucks because i have him on my fantasy team. , but seeing as how lalime has played this year(poorly) i do not think they can make the playoffs w/ out him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Miller is pretty cool. One of my favorite non-Wings, too. It's a shame, really. Off-topic: About that Pronger news, please God let him go to some crappy team like Atlanta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Off-topic: About that Pronger news, please God let him go to some crappy team like Atlanta. I doubt god would answer this prayer. Atlanta is a seller, so they wouldn't go after Pronger knowing they would have to give something up like picks when it's what they are going for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
