Anyone worried about Miller?

[PeteMoss]

Miller hasn't won a playoff series since 2007. That was the year Anaheim beat Ottawa for the Cup.... not worried.

[Frequitude]

Yes, I'm a little bit worried. He looked good last night. We didn't press him too hard, but that one glove save right after coming in and a nice toe save in the third looked impressive. I don't want him coming in with a chip on his shoulder for being relegated and becoming a rallying point for the team.

[GioforPM]

People think too hard about this kind of stuff. Bottom line - is he a better goalie than Lack? The Flames have beaten great goalies all year.

[Armchair Quarterback]

I think overall Miller is better than Lack so I'm a bit worried. Luckily Vancouver didn't discover this until now, so we should be fine.

[puckedoff]

Just dump in a puck softly, so that he comes out to play it. And when he does... BAM

[expatflame]

Last regular season game he played, he let in 5 goals against the Oilers. The Oilers! Not worried at all...

[Burke Salad]

I am alway's worried Miller/1994

[troutman]

I think Ferland sucked the life out of the Canucks in Game 3. They look done.

Other then Miller's back to back runs to the ECF after the '05 lockout, he's been nothing special in the playoffs. All the pressure will be on him to steal the game on Thursday. It doesn't really matter who the Flames are shooting against. I think goaltending is the very last of their problems. They just can't contain the Flames' forecheck or keep up to them physically. Swapping goalies won't change that.

[Erick Estrada]

Miller is no longer the goaltender that starred for the US in the Olympics years back. He's capable of stealing a game for sure but he's equally as capably of having a complete stinker. Lack IMO is just a middle of the road goaltender as he has shown in this series. Some good saves here and there but beatable. I think starting Miller in game 5 is the right call if only to try and spark something for the Canucks. That said the Flames simply have to put pucks on net and not make things easy on him as they did last night (was warranted of course as they were just killing the clock and not taking risks with the lead).

[Red Menace]

I think anytime a new element is brought into a series there is the potential for a momentum shift. I would say I am slightly worried...but still very confident we will finish it off.

[codynw]

Canucks fans are probably pretty worried about him.

[OzSome]

Of course I am a bit worried. The 6-million dollar goaltender has proven he can steal a game or two but the Flames stick to their plan in going in front of the net a lot they can beat them. Flames should also stick to pressuring Canucks' defense and Ferland keeps on hitting everyone that moves. Discipline is also the key. They don't have to fight the Canucks if not needed.

[Kipper is King]

Spoiler!

[Owen15]

While I'm confident in our guys I do wish we had pumped a couple by him. Just to help him with his confidence.

[Northendzone]

i think that if you are a flames fan there are lots of reasons to be nervous about the next game, becasue we are in a position to end the series and we do not want to see the flames give up thier momentum.

i would assume that the flames will stay the course and not make any changes to their game plan - you just have to keep the faith that the results will be there.

personally, i'd rather look at millers wife on tv than lack's dad.

[SofaProfessor]

Lack or Miller, I don't think it matters much. You can only really put fault on Lack for the third goal. And even then, Brodie showed a ton of patience to out-wait Lack and place an absolutely perfect shot on the far side which ended up getting tipped by Bennett.

[northcrunk]

I'm not worried. Miller is probably more focused on being a star on hockey wives.

[calgaryred]

As long as the Flames stay in the crease block Millers view we will be fine, he can't stop what he can't see. I don't think hes better that Hiller.

[Crumpy-Gunt]

Lack wasnt the problem for the Canucks in either of our wins.
Miller wont be the solution for those problems as they are not problems in the net, but in the minds and hearts of the nucks players. They seem to be less hungry and ambitious for this. Maybe because we've been playing playoff series' all season, and this is their first one!
