Buffalo Rick Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) I tried to past CBS article about retiring Miller’s jersey https://www.diebytheblade.com/2021/9/13/22671727/the-buffalo-sabres-should-retire-ryan-miller-number-nhl-hockey?adobe_mc=TS%3D1631578058|MCMID%3D47747108537821694502656082362282187354|MCAID%3D2DCB9BC40507915F-6000010A600003CB|MCORGID%3D10D31225525FF Edited September 14, 2021 by TropicalFruitGirl26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I suppose if Miller and the team maintained a good relationship (at least non adversarial), I can see cause to retire Miller's #30. Dell is wearing it because it ISN'T retired...and he wore that same number in San Jose.... he couldn't wear it while in New Jersey because that one IS retired over there. You know, some little known guy named Martin Brodeur wore it Anyways, I can see Dell wanting to keep that number because it is free and it was his as well. Now if the Sabres want to plan to have the number retired and have Miller come out to the arena for the ceremonies, great, but I would think they'd at least let Dell play out his one year contract. Sabres are hurtin REAL bad for goaltending and if Dell is a guy who comes out of nowhere and gives them that, the last thing you'd want to do as an organization is have something silly like a number retirement he is wearing to bug him or have the media bug him about it. Usually teams know right away if they want to retire a number and even if the player in question leaves the organization, due to trade, retirement, whatever, that number is 'set aside'. Buffalo didn't do that with Miller, even though Miller still does hold many team marks. Doesn't mean they can't retire it, but honestly, this type of thing shouldn't be brought up now. Plan it internally if they want, talk with Miller, make future plans for it, fine. But don't put this in Dell's way who is going to have a HELL of a time keeping pucks out of the net with the shoddy Buffalo defense he will have in front of him as it is!

radoran Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 They should retire the entire 30s and 29 just to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Rick Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 I wish Miller would suit up, and retire as a Sabre. Play one damn game. Who cares how it turns out. Let him play one game and retire his number. And retire him as a Buffalo Sabre. He is not going to be remembered as a Duck. No way. His wife is the reason he never came back I am sure. Damn bimbo models and the power they weld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
