    Look for Lalime against Wild

    The Sabres had an optional practice today in HSBC Arena with about a dozen players on the ice. Ryan Miller was among those who took a well-deserved rest after Wednesday's 5-3 win over Dallas, Buffalo's third straight. Miller is probably getting more rest Friday night as it looks like Patrick Lalime will start in goal here against the Minnesota Wild. That would leave Michigan native Miller to play in his homecoming game in front of friends and family Saturday in Detroit.

      I see a problem. This is my second game attending in person this season and the second time I get to watch Miller sit on the bench. DAMNIT.

                Lalime starting is the closest thing to a guaranteed loss as you can get.

                  You would think that when LaLime was in the net these squirrels would play harder and give a better effort except the bunch of vagina's clam up and MAYBE will score 2 goals when he plays. With out doing the research, i'll bet they haven't scored 3 goals too many times when he plays.

                    While I understand the strategy, in a home game this close to the Olympics, Miller should be in net.

                      That's kind of what I've been saying all along. Add to that how little he gets to play and get any kind of rhythm, and you get what you get.

                      Some I expected and some I didn't. 2-2-1 in games they scored 3 or more goals and in one of them he came in for Miller and shut out the Penguins. 1-3-1 in games with 2 goals or less for. I don't count the Islanders game as we were blown out in that one and he came in for Miller. As I see it, he is good enough for a backup.

                        What does closeness to the Olympics have to do with it?

                          I also don't know why Miller needs the rest so much right now. He had two days rest before Dallas and didn't look sharp at times. I guess I would rather play Miller against the Red Wings though if they are going to give him rest for one in a back to back.

                            That sucks that it doesn't recognize spaces when you put them in. You can't really read the stats I put in.

                              Because Miller has become a superstar because of the Olympics. How many previous non-fans got tickets to see him?
