Re: At this point, what would be worse?

i only care about the number of games being higher because it gives us a chance at a few more parties

other than that four or seven dont make a damn bit o diff to me, it still blows donkey

Re: At this point, what would be worse?

i think losing in 7 would be worse...that would mean they would come back to tie the series...tease the heck out of us...get all our hopes up again...and then have them crashing back to earth...

that's exactly what i was thinking. how many times do i have to deal with my teams getting so close to glory then losing it right at the end. if the hockey gods aren't gonna let us win this just make the pain quick and short.

Until Miller stops letting easy ones by him, we have no chance. The overtime winner was by no means his fault though, just a bad bounce.

Blaming these losses on Miller is just idiotic. Every goalie lets in goals. If Miller played as bad as the team in front him, this game would been 10-3

Well what's idiotic is having a GAA of 4.00 in the conference finals. I know it's not all his fault, the defense has been leaving to many shooting lanes, especially on the power play. But he needs to play better if we are going to get back in this thing. He has let too many easy goals by him and it seems like whenever someone gets one on one with him, it's an automatic goal. He needs to step up and play like a Stanley Cup champion goalie or he will never have the opportunity.

yeah...we should be winning every game 2-1......the guy has made some incredible saves...without him we lose the first two games 7-2, 7-2

He also let in some very soft goals.

Championship goaltenders do not do that every game.

Yeah the guy has made some great saves, there is no disputing that but he has allowed more soft goals than tough saves made so far.

We can assume what the score would have been all day long but the bottom line is it is what it is. He needs to step up his game as well as the guys in front of him. The blame is by no means only his, hell the shooters aren't shooting, our defense is blowing assignments and everyone is turning the puck over.

If Ryan Miller wants to make a statement and prove that he is a great goaltender, he needs to step up since he is in the high profile position on the ice. Everyone knows he can do it and I think he knows what he has to do. LETS GO SABRES!
