is that Miller makes better decisions handling the puck. Marty seems to have at least one trainwreck bad decision per game that costs him a goal about every other time. Miller seems to know what he wants to do with the puck. As far as pure goaltending skills, both are about the same, but the handling of the puck is the big difference.
The basic difference between Miller and Biron....

Miller looks quicker, Biron looks tired and shaky.
Miller anticipates where the puck is going better than Biron. Biron is always caught reacting late instead of being ready.
That goal he gave up centered in front of the net, he never saw the guy there before the pass came, he didn't react to it. Miller does, that's what makes him better.

I disagree, I like the way Biron handles the puck.. he also has a great shot and can pass to the players creating more flow to a game.. sometimes he gets me nervous because he tries to do a lot to help the team out.. but I think he's fine with it and he's always in good position to make the save. I don't think Miller is much better in any regards.. maybe in the future he will be.. not right now! And to say the Sabres win with Miller in net is unfair.. because the Sabres have struggled and have lost games despite Biron's great goaltending (ie. getting shut out by the opposition).. and there are some nights when Miller is just average and makes like 1 big save and the team wins because they score some goals.. It isn't totally accurate to say that it is all because of him.. perhaps the players/scorers have woken up.. and decided to play regardless who is in net.. I don't think that Miller is the reason they win..... it's a combination of things.. and guess what.. the Sabres won their last game in Montreal with Biron in net!! Surprise??~*Let's go Buffalo*~

Well, I don't think it happens that often.. but it does happen and he's getting better with that.. but it's funny and always nervewrecking when he does that.. it makes for more entertaining games...... I hate the way the puck bounces off the glass at times.. that can get him into a lot of trouble and has in the past.. at least he's active and doesn't look as though he's sleeping in his crease~*Let's go Buffalo*~

Marty was so desperate to score a goal with 3 seconds left the other night that he nearly bounced the puck in off a defensemen and almost cost the Sabres a win.

If it had.. it wouldn't have costed them a win (a point maybe) I'm sure even if it had finished 3-3 in regulation.. Sabres would have scored another quick one in OT...~*Let's go Buffalo*~
