is miller good enough to become the next roy, hasek?

No.
He is a solid Goalie but not near that tier. He reminds me of a Richter.
There is only one Roy. But Miller is a hell of a goaltender, but so is DiPietro.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Hasek? Maybe. Roy? no way. I never really liked him when he was playing but I have to admit the guy was incredible. Plus, he has something like 150 playoff wins (that's WINS- not games). That's insane- even the great Brodeur only has 70 and change.
He's kinda like Brodeur. Not real flashy.
Caught 2 in the face last game though. Can't remember the last time I saw a goalie catch 2 in the grill like that.
What are we talking about skill wise or stat wise because if you ask me Hasek had more talent but started late.Originally Posted by OpIv37
well Roy was pretty much the best ever in both.
Skill-wise, Hasek is probably better than Miller.
I would disagree with that honestly. Roy always had a solid team behind him. Hasek Single handedly won most of his games.
There is No comparison between Miller and Hasek.
He is a very good goalie with the potential to be great. Let's keep in mind just how young he is. All this playoff experience goes a long way for a young guy who will continue to get better.
He's good enough to win a cup.
In my view Hasek, Roy and Broduer are in a world of their own.
Actually who Miller reminds me demeanor wise is Ken Dryden. He just wins, often isn't flashy in doing it. He is just consistently good.
Give Miller some more time, he'll be up there

I like Miller's attitude, he despises losing. That can take him a long way.
He isn't super young man. Like 27. I love the guy and I think he can do it for us I just don't consider him elite at this point.
Miller reminds me a little of Grant Fuhr in this respect ... Fuhr never had great numbers and let in some questionable goals, but he was as clutch as they get.

Miller was awesome on that Isles PP (the second one)
In his prime, Hasek was the best goaltender ever.
Miller is nowhere near Hasek or Roy right now, the only active goalie that can be compared is Broduer...and Miller isn't on the same planet as Broduer. Give Luongo a few years on that though.
He's a solid goalie but he's not an elite one right now.
Miller is good, but not even a top 10 goalie in the league right now perhaps. In the east, he is top 3. Add in the west, and he has serious competition.
yep. i feel this way too watching him back there.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
Miller reminds me a lot of how the tandem of Moog and Fuhr were back in the Oiler heyday. Some nights either Moog or Fuhr would come up huge to help the team win when the offense was sluggish and others they'd play poorly and the Offense would carry the team to a win.
I believe that's a far assessment of what we have going on here now. Obviously our offensive talent is nowhere near those Oiler teams but no team will ever see that type of production again.
