> [@OfficerK](#): > > seriously…if they dont win in philly it will be very difficult to make playoffs Not really. The last 8 games of the year are all against division opponents, and the remaining 16 games are all against eastern conference teams. There are plenty of 4 point games left against people ahead of us to move up, but to do that they have to start playing better. And hopefully Miller takes a break from making fucking ice cream to watch some game tape and realizes that you can only come out to take away the angle on breakaways. When you constantly do it while a team is pressuring you in the zone they will burn you all night long with one timers are rebounds. The majority of goals Miller is letting in he isn’t even standing on blue ice. That’s not a good sign. ---

I’d been wondering about this… someone pointed it out to me a few weeks ago so I’ve noticed it more & more. I don’t remember him playing out that much in previous seasons, or is it just me? ---

He used to only come out that much on a breakaway, and there it’s a good thing because basic geometry tells you it covers more of the net as long as you don’t let the player deek you. I think he’s been burned by people going high on him so much he’s trying to cheat the angle more and more and doing it in situations that leave him way out of position for a pass or rebound. I hope the Sabres don’t throw a ton of money at him and lock us to him for the next 5 years. Maybe this year is a fluke season, but maybe not. ---

while he did get caught out far, you have to come out far to cut down the angle, especially when your d isn’t playing the body as their offense breaks the zone. when you let them get a shot away, not only do they get the shot but they use the defenseman as a screen. ---

> [@Tunerfreak](#): > > QFT your opinion dont matter ur a philly’s fan True, But I fallowed Biron to Philly… Then the edition of several other good players, made the choice obvious. Personally, i feel the sabres staff said exactly this. “WHOAAAAAA A BUFFALO TEAM HAS A GOOD SHOT AT THE CUP!?!?!?!” “WE better trade all our talent” “We can’t let Our club make the Bills look even worse” Theres No reason this season shouldn’t have repeated last season. To the poster above me, True there probably isnt anyone Available currently that is better. But there is plenty of other goalies who are better. Seems like the goalies we trade always shine. ---

> [@Coldaccord](#): > > who is better thats available? That I’m not sure, but 18th in save percentage and 18th in GAA is not deserving of this all star money I keep hearing everyone say we’re going to have to pay him. Last year we blew off his average numbers because we were winning, using the excuse “he makes the big save when we need him to”. This year, when we’re not the highest scoring team in the league, it’s harder to make excuses for average goalie numbers. ---
