Out From The Shadow
The supposedly lesser-known Miller brother is starting to make it his time in the NHL. While Ryan Miller, the Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender of the Buffalo Sabres, gets most of the press within the family, younger brother Drew is drawing rave reviews this season with the Detroit Red Wings. Not only is the 6-foot-2, 178-pound Miller performing his usual steady role as a grinder and penalty killer, with seven goals this season he’s on pace to better the career high of 10 he scored for the Wings each of his two previous seasons in Detroit. “As of late, I’ve had the chance to get a couple of goals on the scoresheet – that’s a little bonus there,” Miller said. “You want to take the pressure off the big guys to have to…

One registered a four-point night, justifying the efforts of two national TV networks that dropped whatever else they had planned that night. The other player, just as determined but held off the scoresheet, was John Tavares. He battled Crosby for that opening puck drop, losing the scramble in what turned out to be a 5-0 whitewashing. “I tried to look at it as a great opportunity to rise to the challenge,” Tavares said. “There were a lot of eyes on the game. Obviously we didn’t come out with a great effort and that’s the disappointing…
