Here’s Dan Hickling, our ace photographer, on capturing Ryan Miller before what could’ve been his last game with the Sabres inside the First Niagara Center, a 36-save effort in a 3-2 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Take it away, Dan …
Fans may have noticed Ryan Miller’s little ritual, in which, a few minutes before warmup, he makes his way to the end of the Sabres’ bench and takes a few moments to compose himself. I usually shoot the visiting team warmup but on Tuesday, shot from the Buffalo bench instead, where I caught Miller lost in thought or prayer before what may have been his last triumph as a Sabre.
