    Biron in game 6?

    Miller has played well for this team, and without some of the saves he made tonight this game could have been a blow out, but does anybody think Lindy puts in Biron for game 6?

    I can't help but think Miller's confidence might be shot after a loss like that. On top of the fact that he has let in some questionable goals throughout this particular series, maybe he just needs a game to clear his head... he has been pretty shaky since game 1. Maybe the team gets a pick-me-up with the fresh goalie who IS proven. It's not like they'd be putting in a career backup.

    Thoughts?

    On a side note - what a DICK move by Laviolette by pulling Gerber again! 2 of those goals he was basically hung out to dry...

    CBC reported that Gerber was so pissed he wouldn't return to the bench and stayed in the locker room after being pulled. I don't blame him.

    No, Miller played great in this game and Carolina could very well have once again blown Buffalo away, but Miller kept them in it. In regards to your side note, I cannot believe that Laviolette is able to constantly switch goalies without penalty. Where are those so-called "hockey gods" to smight this team for their non-playoff beards (Laviolette, Brind'amour) and disrespect to the netminder.

      and I don't blame Gerber. He's leaving this team for sure after this season. I only hope that he blows up and lets his feelings known to the team so that they suffer and lose two straight.

        THAT WOULD RULE!

        Always holding out hope, but it's pretty bleak at this point.

          Pulling Gerber worked. Ward didn't allow a goal and they won.

              No chance on Biron.

                You know if Ruff pulls Miller for Biron, he'll get shelled.

                  There is no way that they pull Miller. I'm a fan of Biron, but they can't pull Miller. You gotta stick w/ the guy who got you there.

                  And while we're speaking about Laviolette (or however you spell his name). This guy is the biggest *****. He is consistently dicking his goalies over. I would never want to play goalie for a coach who has no faith in his players. What a joke. Of course, I wouldn't expect him to be fair to his goalie after he was involved w/ that embarrassment that was US hockey. I really don't care what I've heard. There is no way that he wasn't involved w/ picking that roster and shafting Ryan Miller. The more I watch the Hurricanes, the more I hate that bastard. Screw him.

                    I cant see him pulling Miller. Hes playing his butt off.

                      Miller will play, IMO, and should.

                      As far as Laviolette, his 'strategy' as far as the goalie switches has been, I hate to say it, brilliant up to this point in the play-offs and may be the main reason Carolina sits where they are right now. Three times he's switched netminders, and all three times it's paid off for the team.

                      Screw Gerber if he's pissed...his team has come out on top every time a switch was made, and that's what's important in the end.

                        The problem is not with Miller. The problem is players like Dumont, Kotalik and Afininogenov who have barely been seen with a pulse this series.

                              I wouldn't be totally against it. In the NLL Title game, the Bandits pulled Chugger and replaced him with Montour. It was a team loss but Chugger was letting in some goals he would've normally stopped. They made the switch and the whole team seemed to play better.
                              Unfortunately, Darris made the dumb move of putting Chugger back in there after the team got rolling and we lost all momentum
