Dude....without a doubt, one of the best saves I have seen all year from any goalie by Elliot tonight.

You realize that Elliot is 5th is GAA ad Miller is 23rd.....right?

Sometimes I think you sniff glue.

You do realize that Miller spent all but the last 4 games, playing for the worst team in the NHL don't you? GAA is a stat that carries far less weight than save percentage, for evaluating goalies, becuase it reflects overall team play more than the goalie's talents. Look at save percentages and you will see Miller ahead of Elliot. That is even more impressive, when you consider the quality of his saves with Buffalo. That is a really bad team...

I still like Elliott and glad to have him as a back-up, in case Miller gets hurt or falls on hs face. But Elliott was given chance after chance to show he is top tier and just didn't do it. He's good. This team deserves great.

No, I had no idea Miller was with Buffalo and they were the worst team in hockey.....I rarely follow the game. (I guess Miller gets some credit for being last too, huh?)

Their save percentages are .924 - .918....hardly a massive difference when you consider the GAA is over 1/2 goal difference in favor of Elliot.

I'm fine with Miller....I was fine with Halak and Elliot...all top tier goalies, and Halak actually has a better save percentage than Miller in playoff games.....if you want to hand your rather large and pompous hat so proudly on that statistic.

If the Blues win the cup, Miller doesn't get the credit for it.....period.
