GL tonight Sabres fans. I have a lot of empathy for your fanbase and team, I hope to see a Cup final between our teams in the next few years and we can hate each other with a fiery passion.

How's the Miller situation with the fans? Is he viewed negatively/positively?
How have the Sabre faithful felt about the Vanek/Moulson deal? Has he been good for the team?

We want Miller out...he's ruining our tank. :laugh:


Still love the Moulson/Vanek trade.... DR pulled in a nice return. Moulson has been good...want him traded for more assets tho.

Even those who would prefer to see Miller moved don't have much negative to say about the guy. He's a good goalie who has done a lot for his country and this team. It's just a matter of what will work moving forward.

You'll find very few fans that have any issue with Miller. Sometimes his mannerisms after giving up a goal can irritate a few fans, but for the most part Miller is held with very high regard in the fan base. Heck, even the ones that want him out of town do it either b/c they want to see him win.....or b/c he's too good and is costing us guys like Reinhart.....:laugh:

Most Sabres fans loved the TV/MM deal when it happened and are loving it even more now. MM seems to have fit in very well and has managed to find a modicum of chemistry with Hodgson before he got hurt and now with Ennis/Girgensons. It's to the point where there's a bit of a groundswell to re-sign MM.

Sulzer is in for Tallinder, who sustained an injury last game. Nolan says Tallinder could miss about two weeks. #sabres

We'll get our wish and Sabres will lose tonight... causing Ted Nolan to play Miller in 18 straight games.
