He lost his job to Lack. Nope.

It's good - when they chant Hiller (for no reason it seems), he will think they are on his back again and chanting Miller.

[DuffMan]

I'm more worried about the fluke goals the Canucks get, than Miller stopping skill goals. Seems like most of the Canucks goals so far have been flukey.

[Enoch Root]

Not at all. If the Flames continue to play their game, it doesn't matter who's in net.

Who was it that wrote that article a few weeks ago about the golden line and how crossing it (with a pass or skating or whatever) increases shooting percentage drastically and, conversely, drops save percentages commensurately?

If you look at Gaudreau's goal last night, Bollig's in the prior game, and so many from the Flames, they often pass it across that line to set up shots. The goalie has no chance when you do that because he has to move side to side and is thus covering a smaller percentage of the net.

Miller is already a small guy. If they get him moving side to side like they have been able to do with The Legend, Miller will be equally as effective, which is to say, not at all.

Lack = Legend

Legend replaced by a playoff loser

The Flames will be fine

[GioforPM]

Miller is 6'2", like Ramo and Hiller. Lack is 6'4" though so that make Miller look smaller.

It's good in that the Flames generally have more trouble against the really big guys (Dubnyk, Bishop, Rinne, Lehtonen (sometimes).

[Igster]

Unless Miller can score goals, really not worried.

[Redliner]

In 2004 the Canucks used Cloutier, Hedberg, and Auld. Didn't help.

Miller or Lack, the Flames will be fine.

Their defencemen are hearing steps every time they go to retrieve a puck. We'll force turnovers and get chances.

Further, many of our goals against Lack were because we're going to the tough areas and either screening the goalie or getting rebounds. That will work against any goaltender.

This.

Miller will be fine but the Canucks cant score.

[GioforPM]

Calgary was 1-2 against Miller this year, but the win was the last game and the other two were early in the season when he was good.

If John Garrett has no faith in Miller, I don't think us Flames fans should be worried about Miller if he starts what so ever.

I am.

Goalie with a chip on his shoulder that has proven he can steal games in the past.

If we were facing 28 year old world beater Buffalo Sabres Ryan Miller, absolutely, but the Flames will be facing burned out ex-St.Louis Blues 34 year old Ryan Miller. Big difference between the two.

We've seen good goalies and beaten them.

[terminator]

I am, if they stop making beer im screwed.

[Gaudfather]

The Flames aren't worried about him, so I'm certainly not going to be!

Run him. He's a hot head and gets thrown off his game way too easy.

Honestly, a goalie can realistically win a series single handedly but the Flames just need Hiller to beat him for one game and they move on.
