Goaltender, Ryan Miller, suffered an ankle sprain on Saturday in a game against the New York Rangers. The severity of the injury is not known yet but I’m sure the Buffalo Sabres are hoping their netminder will be back in action sooner than later.
Miller was injured when Scott Gomez took him down behind the net. He wobbled over to the bench without putting pressure on the leg. "It’s stiff and it’s tender," Miller said after the game. "These are things you have to kind of feel out. There’s no timetable, really. It’s your comfort level. Right now I just want to get through the night till the morning and see how my body reacts. I’ve had a few ankle sprains in my time, and each one’s been different. We’ll see how this one plays out."
I wasn’t surprised at all to learn that Buffalo coach, Lindy Ruff, was not happy with Gomez: "I don’t think there’s any secret it was deliberate," Ruff told reporters. "He knew what he was doing."
I haven’t heard whether the NHL is looking into this but I doubt it. The incident is on this highlight reel. Check it out and tell me if you think Gomez deliberately took out Miller. I’m sorry, I think Gomez did that on purpose.
