Teams that would more than likely be fine with going with the backup.

Boston Bruins
Florida Panthers (not that they're much of a threat, but Scott Clemmenson has proven he can do it with the Devils)
St. Louis Blues (again, Ty Conklin has done it before with Pittsburgh)
Detroit Red Wings
Columbus Blue Jackets
Ottawa Senators
Washington Capitals (They could have Dan Cloutier and probably succeed. Hell, they succeeded with Jose Theodore.)
New York Rangers
LA Kings

That's just a few teams that I'm sure would be more than fine with having to stick it out with their backup.

that 03-04 season was ruined by a 7-2 loss to the red wings. i remember that game. buffalo scored first even. but after the game miller cried i remember.

That game hardly ruined the season. It was game #29.

i meant his season.

Miller is our guy. Fuck Rask. Pride baby. Pride.

well, understandable. but by that logic, i should HATE miller for being a former faggy michigan state spartan. but i realized people make mistakes and forgave him.

plus, i mean, hes 7 years younger. itll never ever ever happen though, just saying how much im buying into that kool aid.

dont forget, rask was the centrepiece of the andrew raycroft to toronto deal.

im watching boston right now and rask has been unbelievable, but bostons abandoned him for the second goal, and the first was a redirect.

Rask did a great job of being one of the big reasons Boston pissed away both of their 3-0 leads against philly.

hes also one of the big reasons they got to the second, sadly.

_________________

I don't think so. He might be a reason, but not a big one. The Sabres biggest downfalls were on special teams. Rask wasn't on the Bruins powerplay, and our powerplay was so bad he didn't have to do much on the pk.

special teams blew. as i was at game two, my face went from:

but he was great that first round. as was miller. it was a treat to watch those two on the same ice surface.

i remember discussing the high stick zone entry with ya. that was BS.

....and let us not forget the great Savard/Vanek importance-to-the-team injury debate.

Ah yes, the good ol' days.

Speaking of that, guess who's getting closer to a return:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AnKfVTVfwc.pFelNQjAy9nF7vLYF?slug=ap-bruins-savard

So what if Savard is getting closer to a return, Vanek has an 8 game point streak or 7 going on right now.

If Savard is back they honestly should scrap Seguin, why they kept him this year is stupid, it's like Hall in Edmonton, neither of those guys should be on an NHL team this year.

According to Sabres Edge, Miller should be ready to go next game. Enroth was sent down...again.

I hope that with Miller, this isn't a constant 're-aggravating' issue with him. Otherwise it looks like Enroth is going to get a lot of flying miles.
