Ryan Miller wasn’t included as a Hart Trophy finalist for this season, a strange proceeding because of how much he did for the Buffalo Sabres and how helpless they would be without his services. SBN’s Die By The Blade feels Miller’s omission was embarrassing and that he should have been selected before either Alexander Ovechkin or Sidney Crosby.
Ryan Miller’s Credentials For A Hart Trophy Nomination
Buffalo’s record in Miller’s unavailability is under .500 and downright harrowing, not to mention their fall from grace - the playoffs - in 2009 when an ankle sprain shelved him, whereas the other clubs can survive respectably. It’s impossible to envisage a strong Sabres crew if Miller isn’t between the pipes. Too often, they’d use his strings of dazzling saves as inspiration before deciding to at last compete tenaciously. Hence, why the back-ups didn’t stand much fortune in their few starts. On Dec.9, Miller was the first and last goalie to shut-out the Capitals in their season schedule. Think about that, they were fended off totally in just one game out of 82.
