He'll be fine. I think the Olympics were a good mental change of pace. -
Re: Miller Post Olympics
Well, yeah. Anyone sane would and should be concerned - it's a long enough season as it is, and hockey is one of the most punishing physical games there is.Originally posted by Bufftp
Bob Matthews, WHAM 1180's sports guru, spoke about this very issue before the start of the Olympics, and voiced his concerns about Miller's well-being. If a pro sportscaster as undeniably knowledgeable and wise as Bob Matthews is concerned about the effect the Olympics could have on Miller's game play, then ALL Sabres fans should be concerned. I was concerned already, but then Matthew's commentary cemented it for me. I already take a very dim view of the "Professional" Olympics in the first place.
And now Miller also has to return to the Sabres with a possibly demoralizing loss from the Olympics added to his mental baggage. A lot of any sports competition is indeed mental - if in doubt just ask Nate Kaeding.
The whole Olympics thing is a needless, and possibly damaging, distraction from the NHL Season. It's like a 2 week long Pro-Bowl, except that it's smack dab in the middle of the regular season.

Re: Miller Post Olympics
Ruff seemed to talk to Miller for a while when shaking hands on the ice after the game. I am sure he said something along the lines to shake it off we need you now to prepare mentally for the playoff run.Comment

Re: Miller Post Olympics
Ruff should give Miller Wednesday off but knowing Ruff, Miller will play every minute of the next 15 games.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

Re: Miller Post Olympics
I could actually see Miller having off against Pittsburgh and coming back Wednesday.
I can see him being physically tired, but I don't see anything wrong mentally. If anything, he just gained some nice big game experience that should actually help in a few weeks.Comment

Re: Miller Post Olympics
Ruff seemed to lift his spirits and get a smile out of the guy. He must have said something like, "no one cares about a gold medal in buffalo. we'll win a cup this year and you'll go from celebrity to legend. Get ready to get it done."
One thing you can count on miller is his ability to bounce back from let downs.
I also think the team itself should be looking at the last two weeks as a reminder as to why they are a good team and how much they should do for miller for having them get them this far thusfar.
I'm a little worried about his ability to last through a cup run, but that'd be glorious to be on a cup run.Comment
