Jim Kelley writes of opposing teams targeting Miller

[DMBcrew36]

Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff last season argued long and hard that the New York Rangers ran his netminder, Ryan Miller, at the edge of the crease, putting Miller out of commission for several weeks in February and March. Ruff and Sabres management argued that Miller's ankle injury went a long way toward assuring that the Rangers made the playoffs that season while the Sabres, in the end, missed by two points.
Go to any video website and look for goalies being crushed and the archives are full. Miller already this season has been battered about as if opposing teams are testing his injury from a season ago. The New York Islanders went after him hard early this season, a fact that did not go unnoticed by the coaching staff.

I think the Sabres have been handling it much better this season, thus far.

Bring in the Goons make a statement

and what statement would that be, exactly? these players are not dogs...just because you pop them after they run Miller doesn't mean they'll stop running him...in fact, if they were truly smart they'd run him harder.
