Ryan Miller Looks to Extend Hot "Streak"
Blogs Source:Die By The Blade - February 8 02:44 PM EST
It's no secret Ryan Miller has been struggling this season. At this point of the season he has the worst save percentage (.905) and GAA (2.88) of his career since taking over as the go to goalie for the Sabres. Miller is currently ranked 38th in goals against and 36th in save percentage, far from his normal position towards the top of the list.
Many blame it on his injury during the infamous Boston game back in November but even his pre-injury numbers were far from stellar compar... Read More »

(Ed. Note: Due to some technical issues this morning, this fanpost might seem to get lost in the fray, so we'll put it on the front page until those issues resolve themselves.)
This is a question that has popped up in my head a few times. While losing Vanek for the last 3 games has hurt, we've got 5 of 6 points. When Miller went down last year, Enroth stepped in and basically won us a spot in the playoffs. It sort of seems like whenever someone big goes down, the rest of the team steps up thei... Read More »

Simple Projections (Pt. 3 of 5)
Blogs Source:Die By The Blade - February 7 10:23 PM EST
The Buffalo Sabres are showing some signs of revival in their last few games, picking up seven of the eight points available. The offense remains moribund and it looks like only a trade or two will resuscitate the Sabres scoring fortunes. What has been a positive is that the defense has been playing better, and Ryan Miller has played much better too in the lead up to taking the mantle as Buffalo's winning-est goalie with 235, passing six-time Vezina winner and legendary Sabre Dominik Hasek.
