- Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News: Sabres goalie Ryan Miller will be out for an undetermined amount of time after he suffered a concussion after being hit by Milan Lucic. This is Miller’s 2nd concussion in 8 months.
“If this hit and other types of hits like this are not suspended, we are opening up the possibility of losing goaltenders to injury. And not just injury, but concussion,” Regier said. “… When I look at the position of goaltending, in a lot of ways it’s not unlike quarterback in football. I feel very strongly the protection has to be provided and players committing these types of action should be punished.”
