Ryan Miller's Steadfast Foundation "Catwalk for Charity"

Building a Foundation of Hope

January 31, 2006
by Brian Wheeler

There is no time like the present. That's the attitude Ryan Miller learned to take and it's one that he wants to spread throughout Western New York.

After witnessing first-hand the monotonous, tedious and painful treatments for cancer patients, Miller created a charitable foundation that will benefit children with various illnesses around the Buffalo and East Lansing, Mich. areas.

Miller established the Steadfast Foundation with two main missions in mind. Raising money to help fund the establishment of specialty rooms in hospitals where children can escape the pain and discomfort of their treatments and raising awareness and increasing awareness for the need for heightened community involvement.

"I've been visiting hospitals for a while, but I felt there was something else I could do," he said. "A lot of people are excited about hockey right now. Obviously, you want to use your influence to do something good.

"You have to do whatever it takes to help the kids fight a battle. When you are diagnosed with a disease like that, it's a battle for your life."

In 2005, his cousin, Matt Schoals, 17, was diagnosed with leukemia. Since that day, Miller has taken a person charge to help anyone battling the disease. Building a foundation from the ground up was the next logical progression once he became a professional hockey player.

"I know from talking to my cousin that's the one thing, you just sit in your room," said Miller. "That can get pretty boring no matter how the walls are painted or how many channels they get. Kids need a chance to be social and a place where everyone can meet-up, when they feel up to it, and interact, watch a movie, play some music or just be creative.

"Our approach is that we're just going to compliment the medical side with the mental side. We want to do things that really make it fun to be a kid, whether they are in a hospital or not."

With help from a friend in Rochester, Miller and the Steadfast Foundation will hold its inaugural fundraiser on February 13, 2007. "Catwalk for Charity" combines some of Miller's passions off the ice into a single event with a good cause. Add to the mix his Buffalo teammates modeling Hugo Boss menswear in the in the Asbury Hall at The Church - Ani DiFrancos venue on Delaware and Tupper in Buffalo - and it's sure to be an entertaining time. Strictly Hip and Jennifer Heieck are scheduled to perform.

Thriller in Atlanta

2007-02-06T23:47:00.000-05:00

What a thriller in Atlanta, and great to see the Sabres skating better. During the intermission they said that Lindy Ruff had called players out individually this morning, looks like they are responding. A great game agains a tough opponenet. Great hits by Gaustad in the first period!!

My concern is Max Afinogenov, certainly one of our most talented players, but he has been taking a lot of penalties the last few games. Is he a step slow, is he trying to help cover for someone else on the line who is a step slow, most of his penalties have been hooking...I would have to sit through the hours of replays to break it down, but it needs to stop because it has hurt the team the last couple games!

Hopefully the guys launch off this game and start another winning streak, with the cold weather in Buffalo, somebody has to start heating things up!!!

All-Star Final 12-9 West, Briere MVP

2007-01-24T23:27:00.000-05:00

So what if the East lost, way to go Danny Briere. All-Star MVP with 1 goal and 4 assists. In a show that promised to be overshadowed by Crosby and Ohetchkin, the three players from the Sabres showed everyone why they are on top in the Eastern Conference.

Way to go Brian Campbell, and Ryan Miller, both playing solid games and really representing Buffalo in a way all fans can be proud of. Let's carry some excitement into the second half of this season, figure out our special teams problems and finish strong!!

Injuries Starting to Show In Game Results

2007-01-16T16:27:00.000-05:00

Buffalo Sabres forward Jochen Hecht was expected to miss the last three games before the All-Star break with what coach Lindy Ruff called a lower body injury.

He ranks ninth on the team with 25 points -- 12 goals and 13 assists -- in 43 games, and has been a steady contributor on a line centered by co-captain Daniel Briere, Buffalo's leading scorer.

To replace Hecht, the Sabres recalled rookie forward Drew Stafford from Rochester of the American Hockey League.

Buffalo will need the All-Star break to get some players healthy. Forward Paul Gaustad, listed as day to day, missed Monday's game because of an upper body injury and has already been ruled out to play Wednesday.

Defenseman Henrik Tallinder, who's missed six games with a high right ankle sprain, hasn't been cleared to skate and isn't expected back until after the All-Star break.

While the rookies called up have done an outstanding job this year, the amateur observer could say that the last few losses could have been at least partially due to missing or inured personnel.

Let's hope everyone gets healthy and stays that way when the games really start to count!!

Does Ottawa Have Buffalo Figured Out?

2007-01-05T13:05:00.000-05:00

We don't really want to talk about the Ottawa game, but we have to. Buffalo has lost to Ottawa in four straight games. In Fact, the Senators seem to be the only team that has "figured" the Sabres out, or maybe it is just a manpower match-up issue.

Either way, there is a good chance we will see them in the playoffs, so Buffalo had better figure out how to beat the Senators when it really counts, but we know that the Sabres will pull through when it really matters.

Tonights game and Crosby and the Penguins promises to be another fast-paced, goal scoring event. Don't miss a second of the action on MSG and Fox Sports Pittsburgh!!

Sabres Ruff to Coach in All Star Game

2006-12-31T16:51:00.000-05:00

Sabres Give Ruff Ticket To Dallas
December 30, 2006By Brian Wheeler

The Buffalo Sabres are playing some of the team's best hockey in nearly a decade and a good portion of the credit can be attributed to their head coach.

Lindy Ruff can now add another accomplishment to the lengthy resume he has created while at Buffalo's helm over the past 10 seasons. For the second time during his career, Ruff has earned the right to guide the leauge's best talent come mid-season.

Boasting a conference-best 57 points entering the game, Buffalo solidified Ruff as the Eastern Conference's head coach at the 2007 NHL All-Star game with a 4-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers on Saturday night in HSBC Arena. Needing just a point, the win guaranteed Buffalo would finish ahead of the second-place Thrashers at the All-Star deadline later next week.

"It's great for the organization and he deserves it," said Brian Campbell. "That shows all the work that the coaches and management have done over the years. It's nice when you can get rewarded for that work with some accolades along the way."

Ruff could see as many as four Sabres players alongside him in Dallas on January 23. As of Monday, Campbell led all Eastern Conference defensemen in fan balloting, while Daniel Briere ranked third and Maxim Afinogenov sits at fourth among forwards. Ryan Miller, who stopped 29-of-30 shots against Atlanta, leads all goaltenders.

"It's a tremendous honor to go," said Ruff. "What will make it special is that I hope we have four of our players there. That would be the great thing about it. I could play our guys and sit the rest of the league."

"It's would be nice for the guys that get the opportunity to go to the game to have a familiar face in the locker room," added Campbell.

Coaching Buffalo's last game before the New Year, the winningest coach in team history with 333 career victories has had a pretty good 2006. After leading Buffalo to within 20 minutes of the Stanley Cup Finals, Ruff was named last season's recipient of the Jack Adams Award as the league's Coach of the Year. Add the fact that his team opened the 2006-07 season with a 10-game winning streak and things probably couldn't get much better for the longest-tenured coach in the league.

"I don't know if it can be any bigger," said Ruff when asked about the past year. "It was a tremendous finish to last season and a tremendous start to this year. It's been a lot of fun for us, a lot of fun for our fans and a lot of fun for the city. Hopefully, we can start 2007 in the same fashion."

Hockey night in America
By Kara Yorio - SportingNews

A series of little lighted signs greets you in the concourse at Buffalo Niagara International Airport:
Enjoy this beautiful season
Go Sabres!
Is that two thoughts or one?

Do Buffalo fans even know the holidays are here amid all the Sabres celebrations since October? They hope the good times run long past New Year's Day.

The Sabres are a team with speed, depth and two quality goaltenders. Many of the players developed together within the organization. They know one another's strengths and weaknesses, and they are friends. The Sabres have skill but perhaps more often are categorized as hardworking. General manager Darcy Regier has built a team for the postlockout, salary capped NHL, and Lindy Ruff coaches it well.

An ode (or five) to Buffalo:

In November, Kara asked you why Buffalo is such a great hockey city, and the response was overwhelming. Here are the comments that ran in the December 22 issue of Sporting News magazine.:
The Buffalo fans learned hockey from the best, our neighbors up north, just a few minutes' drive away. We grow up on real chicken wings and Hockey Night in Canada. --Knabber

Hockey is deeply woven into the fabric of the culture. It lives in the soul of every Western New Yorker. --JayTheMachine

As soon as we were ealking, we were stickhandling, and then not even a 5-foot dusting on Valentine's Day could stop us from emulating our blue-and-gold heroes in the side street or on the neighborhood pond. --Bill Cox

This is a blue-collar tem playing for a blue-collar city. Buffalo isn't a city with a hockey team, it's a hockey team with a city behind it. --sabresrsick123

Maybe football is part of our national psyche, but hockey is quietly, more intimately, who we are. --Dennis O'Brien The result has been amazing success. Through 29 games, the Sabres had won 22 and earned at least a point in 24. Now, a great hockey town is hockey crazy. The Buffalo News recently said these Sabres are "being embraced by this town like few other teams have."
Chris Drury, who previously had NHL stints in Colorado and Calgary, feels the spirit -- and did even before this season. "It's been amazing since I first got here," says Drury, who was traded to Buffalo in July 2003. "Even in the summertime, the people are excited."

Not so long ago, a crooked owner and bad economy left seats empty and the Sabres bankrupt, their survival in doubt. Then along came billionaire Tom Golisano of nearby Rochester, N.Y. He saved the organization by buying the team. And he's a fan, just like the rest of them; he cheers at every game and has plenty of company -- the Sabres already have sold out all of their home games.

On a recent Friday night, HSBC Arena was playoff-loud during a shootout against the Rangers. When Ryan Miller made the save that secured a Sabres victory, the building shook with noise and a wave of high fives and hugs moved through the arena.

One night later, with the team on the road, a downtown bar filled as game time approached.
On two floors of Pearl Street Grill & Brewery -- four blocks from the arena -- all but one TV showed the Sabres pregame show. The music was off in favor of an interview with Ruff.
A few minutes into the first period, that one TV was changed to the Sabres. Every person in a crowd dotted with Sabres T-shirts and jerseys watched the game. The air hockey, bubble hockey and pool tables were still. Here, the Sabres game is not background noise; socializing starts when the game ends. It's like this all the time, I'm assured by locals, but it's even more intense this season. Not to knock good American fans farther south, but there is a deeper passion for the game in Buffalo. The city's proximity to the border produces a Canadian-like love for and knowledge of hockey. The people of Buffalo watch Hockey Night in Canada, fight tough winters and enjoy months of outdoor ice. And when the Sabres are this good, the area goes crazy.

In Buffalo, it is indeed a beautiful season. Enjoy.

Capitals - Sabres Wrap-Up 6-3

2006-12-26T23:23:00.000-05:00

What a goal scoring exhibition put on by the Sabres in the first 11 minutes of tonights game!!! It seemed like every other shot they took blasted past the Caps goaltender. Actually I believe it was 6 goals in 16 shots.

Great fight by Peters vs Brashear, one of the toughest in the league, good goaltending by Miller, and great play by the defense to hold back the Caps in the Third Period!! Way to go Sabres.

Washington's Alex Ovechkin didn't make any friends the last time he faced the Buffalo Sabres.

Ovechkin faces the Sabres for the first time since his first career ejection when the Capitals visit HSBC Arena on Tuesday.

Ovechkin checked Sabres star Daniel Briere from behind into the boards in Washington's 7-4 victory on Dec. 2. That set off several skirmishes, and Buffalo's Paul Gaustad went after Ovechkin, who did not throw a punch in retaliation.

"He got turned around and I hit him," Ovechkin said. "I didn't want to give him some injury. It was an accident."

Ovechkin, along with Gaustad and Buffalo's Adam Mair, received game misconducts, and 79 minutes in penalties were assessed in total. The Sabres were hoping for a suspension, but Ovechkin never received one.

"(Briere) was defenseless. He went headfirst into the boards," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "I think if (Washington) looked at it through their eyes and it was Ovechkin going headfirst into the wall, I think they'd feel the same way. We don't need those plays in the game."

Ruff wasn't upset at his players' reaction to the hit.

"I like the way we reacted to that play," he told the Sabres' official Web site. "I don't care if Gaustad gets kicked out of a game for doing what he did. He needed to do what he did and Mair's going to be right there behind him."

Ovechkin, who scored a goal before the ejection, is tied with Atlanta's Marian Hossa for the league lead with 24 goals and is tied for fourth with 47 points. The reigning Calder Trophy winner had a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over Toronto - the eighth in 12 games for Washington (16-12-7).

Enforcer Donald Brashear helped out in the most recent win, getting into a fight with Toronto's Wade Belak after Mats Sundin scored a pair of goals 14 seconds apart in the third period to pull the Maple Leafs within one.

"Brashear did a good job in his scrap to settle things down," Capitals coach Glen Hanlon said.

The Sabres (25-7-3) have dropped three of their last four but lead the Eastern Conference with 53 points, second-most in the NHL behind Anaheim (60).

Buffalo is coming off Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to St. Louis. Jason Pominville had a goal and an assist and Briere had a pair of assists for the Sabres, who fell to 17-2-1 when leading heading into the third period.

Backup goaltender Martin Biron started for the second straight game and made 29 saves. He has allowed five goals in the two outings. Starter Ryan Miller gave up three goals in the first 7:45 of the 7-4 loss to the Caps earlier this month.

After a pair of games on the road, including a 7-2 win at Nashville on Thursday, Buffalo is opening a four-game homestand. The Sabres have won seven of their last nine games against the Capitals and four of six in Buffalo.

What A Game Against Nashville

2006-12-22T00:34:00.000-05:00

Wow what a game tonight against Nashville, the goal scorers really came alive tonight. Here is the Game Summary...look for the video replay tomorrow.
First Period
1-0 (0:33): Brian Campbell snaps a low wristshot from the point that is deflected by Ales Kotalik between Chris Mason's legs for Buffalo's first goal. The score is Kotalik's second in as many games and both goals came in the first 34 seconds of the game. Campbell gets the lone helper on Kotalik's eighth goal.

2-0 (5:43): Jason Pominville beats Chris Mason shortside from the goal line with a one-timer to give Buffalo the 2-0 lead. Pominville received the feed from Daniel Briere behind the net. The goal is Pominville's 14th of the season. Jaroslav Spacek gets the second helper.

2-1 (8:57): Nashville scores their fifth shorthanded goal of the season midway through the first. On a two-on-one rush, Martin Erat one-timed David Legwand's across-ice pass into a wide-open net to record his seventh of the season. Kimmo Timonen gets the secondary helper.

Second Period
3-1 (5:25): Toni Lydman one-times his own rebound off the back boards into the top-right corner of the net for the Sabres third goal of the game and his first of the season. Jiri Novotny and Jason Pominville record the assists.

4-1 (15:18): Maxim Afinogenov scores his 15th of the season with a dazzling move. Racing into the offensive zone, Afinogenov cut wide around Dan Hamhuis before beating Chris Mason just inside the left post. Derek Roy and Toni Lydman get the helpers.

5-1 (17:45): Maxim Afinogenov scored his second of the night and 16th of the season after blistering a one-timer off Derek Roy's across-ice pass. Roy and Thomas Vanek record the primary and secondary helpers.

Third Period
5-2 (3:02): On the power play, Jaron Arnott snapped a loose puck into the back of the net from the left wing for his eighth goal of the season. Steve Sullivan and Ryan Suter record the assists on Arnott's fifth power-play goal this season.

6-2 (17:03): On the power play, Ales Kotalik ripped a one-timer into the top-right corner of the net for his second goal of the game, ninth of the season and second with the man advantage. Nathan Paetsch and Paul Gaustad get the helpers.

7-2 (17:28): Trailing an odd-man rush on the power-play, Jason Pominville one-timed Daniel Briere's drop pass into the top-right corner of the net for his second goal of the night, 15th of the season and second with the man advantage.

Follow this link to a Full Rebroadcast of the December 19 game vs. Montreal. Tough games guys, gotta capitalize on those scoring chances and SHOOT THE PUCK. Again guilty of overpassing, they have to keep pressure on the goalie if they want to keep winning, somehow it seems they are moving away from that principle.

Sabres Coast to Victory Against Panthers 2-1

2006-12-15T01:36:00.000-05:00

It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't easy but the Sabres rolled to another victory against the Panthers. Excellent goal tending my Ryan Miller was the key tonight. I Max Afinogenov had a great game, scoring one goal and creating a number of scoring chances. Sabres looked better in the power play than they have the last couple games.
