Sabres are retiring Ryan Miller's number 30 next season.
Extremely low bar for such an honor. Christ almighty
I'm guessing it's because he has the most wins in the Sabres career
Wins now are an oversaturated stat for teams and goalies. He played his entire career starting the moment they abolished ties and instituted the shootout. Also, the Sabres are a relative black hole for goalies historically other than Hasek.
Basically, Miller won a Vezina and Olympic silver in 1 really elite season. He had 2 decent playoff runs that neither resulted in a cup nor a wales trophy. Other than that, he was an above average goalie. He also had a knack for letting in really soft goals in critical situations.
Tampa vs Colorado should be a good series I have no rooting interest at all just want good clean hockey!
For sure….probably the two best teams….even though it’s not the Final I would have liked to see. I’ll root for the Avs but would have rather seen a Canadian team get through.

Nice run for the Rangers but glad they lost. I have no preference to who wins but TB has won the last two, so kinda rooting for the Avs.

You should root for the Lightning and history.

Go Avs. Tampa is impressive but Avs have been shitkicking people all year.
This should be a great series! The Avs who have the ability to score at will vs The Lightning who just seem to know how to make the right adjustments (and aren't terrible offensively). Goaltending just might be the deciding factor here.

Nah, we need that Isles streak of 19 consecutive series in sports to last forever!

It might. With salary caps, that seems untouchable.

I still remember the '06 run when the sabres basically lost because of that idiotic puck over the glass penalty.

might not have been 19 if Leon Stickle didn't have the worse non-call in the history of sports.

A horrible break indeed, but that team always got it done when it mattered, until the 19 series wore them down in 84. We’ll never know if they were behind by a goal that game if they still go into that defensive shell, or if losing a game seven would have been a definite loss.
Rule number one, never ever wear road merch at the garden, ESPECIALLY after a rangers loss. Once after an isles win at the garden, I almost got clubbed by a petite redhead lass. Wish I was kidding. In this case they showed class and did the right thing for the Tampa fan

We've seen flyers fans destroy ranger fans for the same thing. Also fucking idiotic & barbaric. These people should be voted off the planet.
that was good. I could have sworn the Avs were gonna choke.

When it was 3-1, I was saying that the Lightning looked outmatched and would need to make some serious adjustments... And then they scored 2 goals and tied the game (we had to head to bed before the 3rd period). Both of these teams are just so good, I don't think losing that game would be considered a "choke".

Game one was very good. I have no pony in this race but love seeing 7 goals. Can someone explain why there are three days between games? NBA finals?
Wanted game on Saturday night. NBA would be Sunday night if Game 7 is necessary. Not a fan of the extra day but don't mind the Saturday night instead of Friday night game.

There must be a stat that says ratings are better on Saturday nights.

F that. Wear what you want but you shouldn't antagonize people. That is just dumb.
