Miller gave up 2 goals on 17 shots. Both goals early in the game. One was unstoppable, the other...maybe should have had it.

But then the goals stopped.

That's all he has to do. NEITHER OF THE GOALS GIVEN UP WERE SOFT OR BAD. Team knows this. Team knows they are still in it. Team plays hard.

Look at Bishop, one of the top goalies in the league. He, too, "could have" stopped 2 of the Blues goals. But his mates still know he's a good goalie.

Doug Armstrong was the last guy in the world who wanted to ship Halak out. He brought him here. He had to be hit on the head with a 2X4 for 2 years time before he finally had to admit what a lot of people said they knew. And it took a trade deadline to do it.

Miller is still considered a top 5 goalie right now at 33. Whether he plays up to that for us this Spring, I don't know. What I do know is that he will play better than Halak down this stretch and into the playoffs. The Blues will play harder in front of him as well. And that's what DA finally concluded too.

So we all agree how much better this team was before the trade than last year at this time. Schwartz, Senko both jumping out with 20 goal seasons so far. Backes, Steen and Oshie waaay ahead of last years offensive production. Lappy and Morrow adding the hard nosed play we need in this conference. Jbo and Petro geling in their second year together.

But THAT TRADE has been made. Time to end the nonsense. Are you gonna sit at your keyboard and bang out the letters telling me that you would prefer Halak over Miller? I say I say...freaking HALAK over MILLER????

Good god........don't go there....I got my hands full already dealing with one knucklehead who doesn't know the difference of a puck from a buffalo chip.
