My buddy was just telling me about a Thurman Thomas interview. Interesting.

Thurman said something in regards to wanting to follow the veteran rob ridd!ck everywhere and learn how to be " a pro"

Apparently Thurman learned quick that he was not the guy to learn from.

Show up to meetings 30 seconds before it started
Smoke cigarettes during half time.

Miller was 1/3rd of the reason our playoff drought doesn't extend to '07 imo - with Vanek and Pommer making up the remainder. He wasn't flashy, but he was steady and reliable. I don't think Biron could have done that

I understand that hating on Ryan Miller has been your thing for years but at least actually state facts.

Ryan Miller has a higher career s% than Biron. In fact, Miller has a better S% in 4 season than Biron had at his career best. I know your a huge Trump mark but don't just slang bullcrap all over the place and expect people to think it's fact like he does.

Ah.. Maybe I misunderstood the usage of flashy in terms of style vs great plays.


His desperation saves were GD legendary.

????


Homie this is wrong

Also

2005-2006 Sabres Miller 2.60 GAA .914 sv% Biron 2.88 GAA .905 sv%
2006-2007 Sabres Miller 2.73 GAA .911sv% Biron 3.04 GAA .899 sv%

Marty wouldn't have lasted in the style the Sabres played as a #1

There is a reason Miller took Biron's starting job

I asked a simple question, why does Miller have the same GAA in the NHL as Biron?

Biron did play on the worst team, the bankrupt sabres


has nothing to do with trump or a hatred for miller

I never said I hated Miller, I said he is/was over rated, and I am allowed to have that opinion

Marty played a big bulk of his games in the early 2000's pre lockout, clutch and grab lowest scoring era's in the NHL.

That is why his GAA is tied with Millers

Yeah, I just mean he isn't a J. Quick type athlete. Miller's skill is outstanding positioning and hockey sense - obviously with a healthy amount of skill

No there wasn't

There was only 1 season where statistically Marty had a better season than Miller and that was 2007-2008 which we all know what happened July 1st 2007

Also you typed sv% not GAA

As for why they're the same Marty played almost half of his games in the dead puck era.

That is why it's so low

What teams are you talking about?

Only 1 season in the 2000's pre lockout did the Sabres finish below .500

Biron was outstanding in 2001-02 IMO

people are quick to forget how good he was that season

Of course... had some big sprawling ones against NYI too.

His OT blind diving glove save vs Boston in the playoffs.

The breakaway vs NJD when he poked it up into the air then batted it a second time with his stick over the net is a favorite of mine.
