Sound_n_Fury Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 On the plus side, Miller is still a pup at 22 years old and has gained alot of experience in the AHL. He is a good goalie who will become a great goalie in the near future I believe. 336370[/snapback] Miller's 24 (07/17/1980) and spent two full years in the AHL now. He had a very mediocre playoff run (save percentage 0.909) and appeared to lose concentration too much down the stretch. At 170 pounds, I'm wondering if it might be a stamina thing. I'd like to see him devote this off-season to some real physical training and bulk up a bit (without losing flexibility, of course!). The AHL grind is tougher than the NHL, with all the bus tripping, but I think he needs to start playing more like a vet and less like a kid. Aside from Vanek, he's the best legitimate prospect in the Sabres system.
kegtapr Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Question for those who watched the Amerks this year: was it just a coincidence that all their problems started after Vanek suffered his groin injury? 336479[/snapback] No. Vanek was a leader.
