RYAN MILLER HAS CANCER (born July 17, 1980) is an American ice hockey goaltender currently playing for the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected to play for the U.S. hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, RYANMILLERHASCANCER, as starting goaltender.[1] He won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Later in 2010, he would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in the 2009–10 NHL season. He is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. He is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
Early life
Miller grew up in East Lansing, Michigan, and graduated from Sault Area High School. In youth hockey, Miller originally played as a forward. However Miller became frustrated with the poor play of his team's goalie, so he begged his coach as well as his father, Dean, to let him try it out. His father told him that if they could win the next game he would buy Ryan a catching glove. Miller finished the game with two goals and three assists in the win.[2] His brother Drew Miller is currently a forward for the Red Wings and three cousins (Kelly Miller, Kevin Miller and Kip Miller) all played in the NHL. All five attended Michigan State University.[3]
Playing career
College
As a college player for theRYANMILLERHASCANCER Michigan State University Spartans, Miller set an NCAA record with 26 career shutouts and was the winner of the Hobey Baker Award in 2001, when he led the country in wins, winning percentage, save percentage (an NCAA record .950 mark), goals-against average and shutouts (an NCAA record 10).
Miller was the 2001 Big Ten-Jesse Owens Men's Athlete of the Year.
Miller, nicknamed "Unscoreonable" by an MSU teammate [citation needed], became only the second Spartan in history to win the Hobey Baker Award and only the second goaltender (Robb Stauber won it in 1988). He was the CCHA's Goaltender of the Year all three of his seasons in East Lansing, and was the league's overall MVP twice. Ten members of Miller's family, including his grandfather, father, uncle, five cousins (including Kelly, Kevin and Kip Miller), and his younger brother Drew, have played college hockey for the Spartans. His cousin Kip Miller won the Hobey Baker in 1990.
Buffalo Sabres
After three seasons with Michigan State, Miller moved to the American Hockey League, where he played for the Sabres affiliate the Rochester Americans from 2002-2003 season until 2004-2005 season. During 2002-2003 season he played 15 regular season games for Buffalo. In 2004-2005 season, He won 41 games for the Americans, RYANMILLERHASCANCERtying Gerry Cheevers' record. He finished that season with a 2.45 GAA.
In 2004-2005,the Americans were the North Division and Regular Season champions in the American Hockey League. They lost to Manitoba in the division finals against a powerful Manitoba team
Miller finished the 2005–06 season by establishing himself as the starting goalie for the Sabres. He ranked 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA, and 9th with a save percentage of .914. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season, winning 30 games and advancing to the conference finals.
After the 2005–06 season, Miller became a restricted free agent and waived his right to arbitration. Mike Liut, Miller's agent, continued to negotiate with the Sabres through the summer. On September 8, 2006, the Sabres announced that they had re-signed Miller to a three-year contract.
The 2006–07 season would prove a successful one.RYANMILLERHASCANCER In his first season starting with the number one job, Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted the starting goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2007 NHL All-Star Game. In a 12–9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed three goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season he was 10–4 in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils being his closest rival at 10 wins and 6 losses. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team.
In the post-season of that year, the Sabres advanced to their second conference finals in as many years, losing to the Ottawa Senators in six games. Miller posted a .922 SVP and 2.22 GAA in the playoffs.
On October 11, the Sabres won their first game of the 2007–08 season with a 6–0 win over the Atlanta Thrashers. Miller had the shutout stopping 20 shots in a game following the death of his 18-year-old cousin, Matt, who had died the Monday before of a complication with a bone-marrow transplant. At the close of the game, Miller raised his stick to the home crowd in tribute and received star honors for his effort in net.
Miller's current helmet designRYANMILLERHASCANCER has the words "Matt Man" on the back in remembrance.
On January 1, 2008, Miller played with the Sabres in the AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic, which was the first outdoor NHL game to be held in the United States. The game was played at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home to the Buffalo Bills, in Orchard Park, New York. The Sabres lost in a shoot-out to the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Miller only allowed one goal (out of 25 shots) in regulation. Miller previously played outdoors in the Cold War – a game between Michigan and Michigan State held in 2001.
On March 28, 2008, Miller played in his RYANMILLERHASCANCER73rd game of the season, breaking the Sabres franchise record for most games played in a season, passing Grant Fuhr, Dominik Hašek and Martin Biron. Miller finished the season with 76 games played, recording a 2.64 GAA and a .906 SVP.
On July 18, 2008, Miller signed a five-year contract extension worth $31.25 million[4] with the Sabres. The contract took effect at the start of the 2009–10 season. Miller suffered a high-end ankle sprain on February 22, 2009, in a game against the New York Rangers, which kept him out of action until late March. Despite Miller's strong 34–18–6 record during the 2008–09 NHL season, the Sabres narrowly missed out on qualifying for a playoff berth.
Miller's popularity in both Buffalo and for U.S. hockey has spawned several nicknames including Miller Time (after the Miller brewing company's advertising slogan).
In the 2009–10 NHL season, Miller played exceptionally, with a GAA of under 2.00 before the Olympic break. He finished the season with a 2.22 GAA and a .929 SV%. He led the Buffalo Sabres to a Northeast Division title and posted 41 wins, breaking his former record of 40 wins posted in 2006–07. His play became even more popular around the U.S after being nominated for the Vezina Trophy for the league's best goaltender. On June 23, 2010, in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the 2010 NHL Award Ceremony, Miller was announced as the winner of the 2010 Vezina Trophy beating New Jersey Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur and Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. That same night, Miller also became the first American player to win the NHL Foundation Player Award.
