BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Ryan Miller was more concerned about overcoming jetlag than
thinking about providing a memorable send-off in what could potentially have
been one of the goalies final games for the Buffalo Sabres. A little over a
day after returning to Buffalo from the Sochi Games, and with his future
uncertain, Miller stopped 36 shots and even contributed to the offence with
two assists in a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night in
the NHLs first game after its Olympic break. "I wasnt really getting to far
ahead or thinking about that kind of stuff," Miller said when asked about
his future. Before the game, general manager Tim Murray acknowledged hes
shopping the goalie with the intention of dealing him before the leagues
trade deadline on March 5. Miller is on the block because hes in the final
year of his contract, and Murray is unsure whether the 33-year-old is
prepared to re-sign with a team thats rebuilding through youth. "Im trying
to take the approach to take things as they come right now and be positive
and play hockey," Miller added. "Its a lot of fun to play and win. Im going
to try to enjoy these kind of moments where you can help make a difference."
Despite feeling "a little bit goofy" from jetlag, Miller was certainly the
difference by stopping the first 20 shots he faced in a game in which
Buffalo was outshot 38-18. "It just shows what kind of goaltender we have in
Ryan Miller," interim coach Ted Nolan said. "I dont think we had too much
reason to say we were the better team tonight outside of Ryan Miller
stealing that game for us." Christian Ehrhoff scored twice, including the
go-ahead goal with 44 seconds left. Tyler Ennis also scored for Buffalo,
which snapped a four-game skid, and won for only the third time in its past
14 games (3-8-3). Both of Millers assists came on Ehrhoffs goals. That made
him the NHLs first goalie to have that many since Vancouvers Cory Schneider
had two in a 5-4 overtime loss to Tampa Bay on Dec. 11, 2010, according to
STATS. Ehrhoffs decisive goal came after he circled the Hurricanes net, and
then stopped and spun in the right circle, where he attempted to feed the
puck through the crease to teammate Marcus Foligno. The puck instead glanced
off the stick of Hurricanes defenceman Justin Faulk and floated in over
goaltender Cam Ward. Eric Staal and Alexander Semin scored for the
Hurricanes, who lost to Buffalo in regulation for the first time in seven
meetings, dating to a 1-0 loss at Carolina on Nov. 18. 2011. The teams got
an early start coming out of the NHLs two-week break. The game was
originally scheduled to be played Jan. 9, but postponed after a blizzard hit
Buffalo. Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller found little fault in his teams
performance. "Miller was the first star, and theres your answer right
there," Muller said. "That was a complete, solid game on our part for 60
minutes. We did everything we had to do." Everything, of course, except
score more than Buffalo. Miller put on a show. Early into the second period,
he got a piece of Faulks snap shot from the left circle, and then recovered
in time to turn aside Manny Malhotras attempt to convert the rebound in
front. Miller had Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner looking up to the rafters
and shaking his head midway through the second period. That reaction came
after Skinner got off a hard shot from the right circle on a partial break,
only to have Miller snag it with his glove. "We had a lot of chances," said
Staal, who beat Miller through the legs on a 2-on-1 break. "When its a close
game, you have to be able to bury them. And tonight, Miller made a lot of
good saves." Following the game, Miller spent time surrounded by fans at the
penalty box, where he took part in a television interview. He then got a
cheer from the few remaining fans inside the arena as he headed to the
locker room about 10 minutes after the game ended. Whatever might happen
over the next week, Miller has enjoyed his 12 years in Buffalo. "I love this
area. The fans have always been great," he said. "If it happens that Im
traded, Im preparing to play somewhere else. It all just comes to its going
to be hockey." NOTES: Sabres LW Matt Moulson (upper body) returned to the
Sabres lineup after missing four games before the break. Also back was
Buffalo C Cody McCormick, who missed 24 games with an upper-body injury. ...
Buffalo also snapped an eight game home losing streak, during which it had
gone 0-5-3. ... As a result of the rescheduled game, the Hurricanes opened a
five-game road trip, their longest of the season.

Conley Jersey[/url] . HEROES P.K. Subban – Scored the overtime winner and
assisted on Montreal’s earlier goal, both on the power play, in a 2-1 win
over Nashville.The Carolina Panthers are finally getting active in free
agency. The Panthers bolstered three areas of need on Friday, signing
unrestricted free agent quarterback Joe Webb and cornerback Antoine Cason to
one-year contracts and wide receiver Tiquan Underwood to a two-year deal.
Financial terms were not released. The moves come after the Panthers signed
free agents safety Roman Harper and wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery earlier
this week. Webb gives the Panthers an extra quarterback during off-season
workouts with Cam Newton sidelined four months rehabilitating from ankle
surgery. Derek Anderson, who re-signed with the team, is expected to run the
first-team offence while Newton is out. Webb spent the last four seasons
with the Minnesota Vikings, seeing action at quarterback and wide receiver.
The Panthers said in a press release they plan to use Webb at quarterback. A
former sixth-round draft pick out of Alabama-Birmingham, Webb completed 88
of 152 passes for 853 yards and three touchdowns and five interceptions with
Minnesota. Webb signed with the Panthers after what coach Ron Rivera
described as a "strong workout" on Friday. "He is a young player who
intrigues us and has a similar skill set to Cam," Rivera said in a press
release. "With Cam sidelined for the spring, it is an opportunity to get a
good evaluation of Joe as well as Matt Blanchard, who was on our practice
squad last year." The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Cason is a six-year NFL veteran
who played for Rivera in San Diego when Rivera was the Chargers defensive
co-ordinator.dddddddddddd Cason has played in 80 games with 49 career starts
and is a potential replacement for starting cornerback Captain Munnerlyn,
who signed this off-season as a free agent with Minnesota. "I have
experience with Antoine and look forward to working with him again," Rivera
said. Cason was a first-round draft pick by the Chargers in 2008 and had 12
interceptions and four forced fumbles in five seasons in San Diego. He
signed with Arizona last year and saw his playing team dramatically reduced.
He played in all 16 games but did not start, finishing with 14 tackles and
two interceptions. Cason has been a durable player. Hes played in 96
consecutive games, which is tied for the third-longest active streak among
NFL cornerbacks behind only William Gay (112) and Corey Graham (109),
according to the Panthers. Underwood played the last two seasons with Tampa
Bay where he started 10 games. He brings big play potential to Carolinas
offence -- something they lost when Ted Ginn Jr. signed a free agent
contract with the Cardinals this off-season. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound
receiver caught 24 passes last season for 440 yards and four touchdowns in
2013, averaging 40 yards per TD catch and 18 yards per reception. "Tiquan
has the kind of speed that helps any team and has shown good progress as a
receiver," Rivera said.
