JM_ Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Happy to see this. I met him and his son one morning in the Olympic Village when his son wanted to pet our dog. Super nice man. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Happy for him. He was a really good team guy when he was here and was a hell of a goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Good for him, seemed like nice guy when here. He was one of Benning’s better moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 One of my all time favourites. Loved him on Buffalo and obviously the Canucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) I'm certainly not opposed but I think Kirk McLean is a good comparable for a career with a team and there was little to no talk of that honor. Miller - One Vezina win, no other seasons of great note (though he did play 76 games one year), no substantial playoff success. McLean - Vezina finalist twice, another season where he led the league in games and minutes, run to Game 7 of the SCF as one of the primary heroes. Similar career totals with their primary teams.

Suppose the biggest difference is that the Sabres were better with Miller than the Canucks with McLean, at least over the entire length of their tenures. Aside from that, they were somewhat close, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, they were somewhat close, yes. I'm not sure I would agree with that. The Canucks had two division championships and then a run to the final in another year with McLean. In addition to the 89 Calgary series and making it to the second round three more times. Miller and the Sabres? Regular season division champions twice, two trips to the semifinals, lost in the first round twice and every other season missed the playoffs entirely. Miller playoff wins with Buffalo: 25. McLean playoff wins with Vancouver: 34. Edited June 11, 2022 by Kevin Biestra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll admit I was slow to warm up to him but him backing up Stecher forever put him in my good books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
