BRAD BOYES and Thomas Vanek scored in a shootout to help the visiting Buffalo Sabres beat the Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, last night. Jhonas Enroth made 25 saves in place of injured starter Ryan Miller to improve to 6-0 this season. Miller sustained a concussion Saturday night in a collision with Boston forward Milan Lucic in the Sabres' 6-2 loss to Boston. Yesterday, NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan reacted strongly to complaints from the Sabres after he elected not to suspend Lucic.

FLYERS SPARKPLUG Danny Briere, a former Sabre, this week called Ryan Miller the league's best goalie. Peter Laviolette, Briere's coach, made sure to note that Miller wasn't the league's only good goalie. Last night, Briere's analysis looked more accurate than his boss'. Miller, by far the brightest star on a team without many, logged his second shutout in 41 playoff games. He stopped all 35 Flyers shots in Buffalo's 1-0 win in the first game of the teams' Eastern Conference quarterfinal.

Even among those in the vast regions of America where there is little or no interest in the NHL, Ryan Miller became a topic of conversation for two weeks in the winter of 2010. He was the goalie for the United States at the Vancouver Olympics who lifted the team into the gold-medal game on his narrow shoulders, and America's sporting public loves when one of its own stands proudly on a world stage. For the next one or two weeks, or for how long it takes the Flyers and Sabres to resolve a first-round Stanley Cup playoff series that begins Thursday at the Wells Fargo Center, Miller will again be a topic of conversation.

The Buffalo Sabres will have to continue their late-season playoff push without injured goalie Ryan Miller, who did not travel with the team yesterday as it left Buffalo to open a two-game road trip. After coach Lindy Ruff said following practice early yesterday afternoon that Miller would join the team for its flight to Washington, the Sabres announced that Miller was not on the plane. The Sabres did not provide any other details except to say that the starting goalie is still listed as day to day with what the team is strictly calling an upper-body injury.

Buffalo Sabres and U.S. Olympic goaltender Ryan Miller received a standing ovation before last night's game in Pittsburgh, cheers louder than those received by the Penguins' own Sidney Crosby. But Miller sat out the game, a 3-2 Penguins' victory, after playing five of the six games for the U.S. in Vancouver. Crosby was in the Penguins' lineup and assisted on the game's first goal. Crosby beat Miller to score the game-winning goal in overtime Sunday as Canada defeated the United States, also 3-2, for the gold medal.

It looks like the international hockey world got a glimpse of what the Buffalo Sabres have known all along about goalie Ryan Miller: This guy is really good. "We know him in this room, and we'll take him over any other goaltender right now in the game," Sabres backup goalie Patrick Lalime said yesterday. "He just showed the whole world what he can do. " As Miller spent the day traveling from the Vancouver Olympics directly to Pittsburgh to join the Sabres for their game against the Penguins tonight, the MVP of the Olympic tournament was the hot topic of discussion following the Sabres' brief practice in Buffalo.

VANCOUVER - Waiting interminably for the medal ceremony to begin, Ryan Miller played the final goal over and over and over again. His eyes would close. His head would drop. He would shake his head, look to the reddened stands, wipe his reddened eyes and repeat the process all over again. "The puck got caught in the ref's feet or someone's feet," he would say later, his eyes still wide open, like a man in shock. "Got to Sidney's stick. He had his head down for a second and . . . " And, and, and - well, the game every fan in America wanted to see ended with the result that none, not even those in Pittsburgh, wanted.

VANCOUVER - There are two good reasons that 137 players were chosen before Ryan Miller was selected in the 1999 draft. One is the number of goalies who left Michigan State with the stingiest of statistics, only to become incredibly generous once they reached the NHL. The other is how he looked. "I remember the first time I saw him play, and I was struck by how skinny he was," Team USA GM Brian Burke said the other day. "Even now, the guy should be doing ads for one of those weight-loss things.
