Good guy. Too bad he couldn’t get that Cup.Anaheim Ducks goaltender Ryan Miller is retiring at the end of the regular season, he announced Thursday.
"It was a dream come true when I played my first NHL game, and it has been a privilege to spend 18 years as a professional," Miller said. "I have decided that I am going to retire after the season having been given more time doing what I love than I could ever have hoped for. Thank you to you my teammates and staff, past and present. I'm thankful to so many who made my career possible and helped me on my journey from youth hockey to the NHL. Thank you to my family for supporting me with so much love and enthusiasm."
The Buffalo Sabres drafted Miller in the fifth round in 1999, and he debuted with the club during the 2002-03 season. He spent 11 years in Buffalo and also had stops with the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks before joining the Ducks in 2017.
The 40-year-old is the winningest American-born goalie in NHL history with 390 victories, which also ranks 14th all time. Miller dominated at his peak and won the Vezina Trophy in the 2009-10 season with a 41-18-8 record, .929 save percentage, and 36.2 goals saved above average. He also captured a silver medal at the Olympics in 2010, posting a .946 clip in six games before falling to Canada in overtime in the final.
For his career, Miller owns a .914 save percentage and 2.63 goals-against average in 794 appearances.
2nd worst season from a goaltender with 25+ starts in the last 25 years. Philly knows how to ruin their playersPhiladelphia Flyers netminder Carter Hart is out for the remainder of the season due to an MCL sprain in his left knee, the team announced Thursday.
Hart struggled in his third NHL season after putting together a pair of promising campaigns to begin his career. He's set to become a restricted free agent this summer.
The 22-year-old ranks last in save percentage (.877), goals-against average (3.67), and goals-saved above average (-22.93) among all goalies with at least 15 appearances this season.
Hart finished ninth in Calder Trophy voting after a stellar rookie campaign in 2018-19. He followed that up with a solid sophomore season and was excellent in the 2020 playoffs, boasting a .926 save percentage over 14 outings.
The Flyers sit 11 points back of the final playoff spot in the East Division with only seven games remaining.
You and I both lolAlso, I would like to take this time to apologize for my erratic behavior or negativity if you will, in the beginning of the season regarding the Pens chances of making the playoffs. Clearly my negative tactics is what has fueled this team through another injury filled season.
Oh I didn’t forgetYou forgot to mention the Caps also clinched a playoff berth last night
