Rookie goalie Miller sparking Sabres' playoff run
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- When the playoffs began, Ryan Miller happily recalled how he had won The Basement Cup, The Driveway Cup, The Kitchen Cup -- every type of Cup he could imagine while growing up in a hockey family in East Lansing, Mich.
Now that the rookie goalie has Buffalo halfway to winning the Stanley Cup, Miller realizes this experience feels a whole lot better.
"The Driveway Cup and Kitchen Cup, you seldom lose those," Miller said after practice Tuesday. "But this is really fun. It's one of the coolest things I've been part of."
It might get a lot cooler for Miller when the Sabres open the Eastern Conference finals against second-seeded Carolina on Saturday in Raleigh.
"I don't think it changes too much," Miller said, referring to the increased pressure on him. "Just go out and play and have some fun."
