musings from Mrs. Miller

This is my first post, conveniently timed right after a rather nice win by the Sabies against the 'Canes. They got the lead early, had a bit of a seizure, then pulled themselves together well enough to grab 2 points. Not too shabby, guys.
A major factor in all of this was, of course, the hobo-in-net: Ryan Miller. He was surprisingly aggressive tonight, coming far out of his crease, stickhandling more, and even getting a little shove-y. Perhaps he was angry from the playoffs a few years ago. Maybe he was cheated out of $1.03 at the checkout. Whatever it was, Miller was beastly. In a good way. Hope this continues and even climaxes into a fight sometime. That would be hysterical to watch.
Any conflict between two grown men strapped into ridiculously clumsy layers of padding, locked in mortal combat beats professional wrestling any day. It's difficult to land a decent punch, but the best part is if one or both falls, they're like brightly colored turtles scrabbling around on the ice, completely unable to stand up on their own. Yes, Miller should really get into this scene...
