Jeepers, playoffs guys, different story, totally different mindset and intensity, I think you will feel good to have Miller during the playoffs, these last few games are a bit bla for the teams already in the finals with good positions. Really looking forward to the playoff's and watching the Blues take it all with Miller in goal.

No fan wants to see their team fall apart, that said it is better to do so at the end of the regular season rather than in the playoffs. Let's see if Hitch can get the team to circle the wagons and play Blues hockey in game 1. Millwr will be fine, he is very cerebral and will figure out how to tighten his game up....making that one or two extra saves. The D needs to step up and keep the shots at the perimeter as that is Millers strength in play ing the angles superbly. Now get the O to put in more than 1 goal a game...that is where the focus needs to be...you don't win alot by scoring 1 goal a game....just look at the Sabres this year...averaging 1.81 gpg. Relax Blues fans...I predict you will be fine.

I would be worried. Miller will not win the cup for you. My prediction is Elliot will be your goalie if you win the cup. Miller is a goalie who will divide your fan base. He wants to be known as an elite goalie but never comes through in the clutch. When the chips are down, a weak goal will go in and the team will be blamed for not helping him out. It will never be Miller's fault if you lose. He is never expected to make a big save. The more you watch, the more you will see I am right.

Cheer up carcus. The playoffs are a new season. Anything can happen.

Didn't want to match up against Chicago in the first round, especially beat up the way they are.

Miller is 20 times the goalie elliot is. If the blues lose I'm the playoffs it's because they can't seem to buy a goal to save their lives.

Miller did everything he possibly could for the buffalo sabres. Hasek never won anything here either, I suppose he won't "come through in the clutch" either.

You seriously need to stop talking about miller. Every time you do you just don't sound very smart.

I don't sound smart??? You just compared Miller to Hasek. Hasek has a Cup, 2 Hart trophies, and 6 Vezinas. He is regarded as the greatest goalie to ever play. Comparing Miller to Hasek is not very smart. I have my opinion, you have yours. We are allowed to express our opinions, right? Or do they have to agree with what you think? Comparing Miller to Hasek.........

Yeah I didn't say that. So not worth my time.

You don't have to agree with Jack poop I say, but saying stuff like "it will never be Miller's fault" is laughable considering he's been blamed literally throughout his career.

The blues issue right now is obviously goal scoring. Saying it's anything else is just silly. They've posted back to back goose eggs. You can't win unless you score goals.

It's funny that some don't think he's a legitimate upgrade over halak and elliot. You don't have to think he's the greatest of all time to recognize he'll do more then they will.

He was banned for 3 days for calling Backes a name. Apparently.

Miller was pretty damn solid last night. How do you expect to win if you don't score? I don't know who could blame Miller for last night. He has been pretty average the last couple games and even he admitted it.
- cuethenoise


Yep. He looked average a few games. He was solid against Dallas but still he could have been better. But that makes it one or two to nothing.

The Blues are choking on great chances lately and the defense has been terrible in their own end lately.

When things are going well, the "passion" of the fan is applauded. The team gathers at center ice, taps their sticks and salutes the fans for their "fanaticism". Right?

Isn't that what defines fan? Short for fanatic??

So, when things go terribly wrong, the same passionate fanatic is going to continue to voice his opinion in a passionate way, yet somehow now he's just stupid.

The things that make a fan a fanatic are the same characteristics that get criticized.

I despise all of the "level-headed" media types who rail about talking Blues' fans down off the ledge, and telling them to "calm down" and "quit panicking"....

Leave 'em alone. Their passion is what pays the bills.

You certainly don't want a building full of 20,000 level-heads.

What fun would that be?

Strickland was one of the worst all time of elevating himself above the masses, this blog can be filed right along side his, IMO.

Well said. Besides the post disgrace articles you intimated are hilarious. Bernie writes then later gives such fans every reason to do so. Then all of their articles show their collective lack of knowledge of hockey and display their disregard for the Blues.

Look in the mirror Blueman. Just recently you posted some pretty nasty stuff directed at Adam French, because you jumped the gun and didn't read his blog and decided to kill him based on the title.

His hate is over the top on the Blues. It is more an act than anything, right Ogi?

Ok, even with the late season skid and the piles of injuries, I am starting to get back to normal and less depressed. I have hope that the Blues can battle back and make this a great series. Looking forward to a playoff series against the Blackhawks. Would have rather met them up in the 2nd round, but whatever.

Lets Go Blues!
