  1. I said it at the TDL... ANA should have traded for Miller.

      @SabreFan1 - show me any goalie who'd do better vs CHI that year, and with the D falling apart in front of them? Miller's given a pretty unfair rap on that serious imo. They did win the 1st 2 games.... anyway my point was for how cheap they could have got Miller, it was dumb not to get him and at least have the option of not relying on Bernier, who choked pretty hard in the 1st period last night. I'd put Miller in over him based on experience and playing well with a much inferior D group to ANA.

      I didn't care either way who won that series so I didn't even watch a few of the games including the final one, but it pretty much goes without saying that just by virtue of letting that many goals in, Bernier choked.

       

      My experience with Miller watching him every year for the last 15 years is that, with the exception of his peak couple of years much earlier in his career, he's very much a "what you see is what you get" type of player.  His play doesn't elevate suddenly when he gets into the playoffs like it does with other players in the league.

       

      He never clicked with St. Louis that year.  He played poorly in the regular season and that continued straight into the playoffs where he actually got slightly worse.  It was an unholy match made in Hockey Hell.

       

      Would Miller have played well in Anaheim during the regular season and carried the Ducks into the Cup finals come playoff time this year?  Who knows?  Anaheim didn't want to take that chance or they would have traded for a goalie before the TDL.
