Is Ryan Miller Overrated As A Starting Goalie In The NHL?

[Winged_Wheel88]

He would of been able to, but his back was hurt from carrying a whole team.

I vote yes.

The question was "do you want an ice cream sandwich" right?

 

[IPostedWhat]

I vote yes.

At this point in time, I just want any damn sammich!

 

[mattola]

top 5 in the league

Miller is one of few goalies I can name that has the ability to steal A game his team shouldn't have A shot of winning.The way Miller performed at the Olympics was nothing short of amazing.Like matola said definately top 5 in my book

Not everyone can pull off being 100% wrong as well as you manage to do, so I commend you for that.

And Tox is saying yes just out of spite. That's cool man, I know you're scared.

 

[pixburgher66]

I think he is a great goalie, and the Olympics certainly showed that for me. That said, I can't honestly say he's THE best in the league.

I'm working on it, darn it! Do you have any idea how tough it is to send a sandwich via the internet?!

Then it's a good thing this thread didn't ask if he is THE best in the League.

Hey now, I voted no!

lol I'm not the least bit scared or worried about anything, let alone a hockey goalie that plays on a team from Buffalo.


Truth be told....I'd take that kid from the Rags before Miller, but that's about it. In my opinion, Miller truly is an outstanding goalie and has proven it time and time again.

Now....I wouldn't "jizz my pants", but I sure wouldn't mind seeing Miller sporting the O&B.

 

[SLY]

I get the over rated argument... But I think he is great. I don't think goalies get enough credit.

 

[beantownmaniac]

HE SUCKS!!! Buffalo should trade him to Boston for a 2ng round draft pick ASAP.

 

[SuperFlyer13]

Ha a thread made out of Malice? Anger? Spite? What led up to this over kill of confidence building? IPW strikes again J/K,lol.. Trust me I understand your reasoning, that being said I would take Miller in a heart beat, Because any goalie that is already good, when presented with a great defense in front of him will always shine, Good luck Buffalo faithful, Miller will have to be that shinning star, you know it and we know it, so we'll see how up to the task both teams and both goalies are..

Goalies are the most valuable players on the ice. They have more bearing on what happens in a game than anyone else. I don't think any great goalie can be overrated, because they really are that important.

I have seen Lundy's name brought up a couple of times now, and here are the stats for both goalies since 2005-2006. Both goalies have won 30+ games for the past 6 Seasons now.

HENRIK -------- MILLER

GP 406 ---------- 381
GS 400 ---------- 375
W 213 ---------- 215
L 137 ----------- 115
OTL 49 ------------ 41
GA 923 ----------- 949
GAA 2.32----------- 2.55
SOG 11316 --------- 11265
SV 10393 ---------- 10316
SV% .918 ---------- .916
SO 35 ------------ 21

I'd say they are pretty much identical based on the past 6 years.

I guess Lundqvist is overrated as well?

Yeah, but look at the team Lundy has in front of him!

 

[Automattic]

Might as well change it to Ryan Seacrest, so we can have a real debate...
