I do not normally post stuff like this but thought it was nice to hear. I also do not think they would be upset I shared the information. I saw the Miller parents tonight at the game and they told me Mark is doing great. He is married and his wife passed her exams and is a qualified Pharmacist now. He is sad he had to give up hockey but is making a boat load with his degree.
Maybe the thought is to get Kazzy more playing time w/Elmira as Linus Ullmark is the clear #1 in Roch. Although, they are mired in last place at 2-9. Will he share the net with former Cornell net minder Andy Isles (0-7, 3.48, .894) or will he start on a nightly basis?
Good luck to Brock Higgs in his call-up to Providence of the AHL. Higgsy is currently in 2nd place in the ECHL in scoring & leads the League in assists.
That's great. When Erik played for RPI I thought that he was a steady defenseman, but never thought of him as a candidate for the NHL. Shows how much I know.
The harder I practice, the luckier I get.
When it comes to players and pro careers, "steady" and "consistent" are words you really want to hear about a player. Sure it might be slowly but surely, but that's how hard work pays off. Sure, it might only be a game or two, but getting there is always a big step.
I'm sure Erik would be thrilled if this stay lasts longer than a cup of coffee, but either way, this is an amazing story. How often does a guy that gets signed to the ECHL out of college work his way up through the ranks to the NHL? Sure it's on the Sabres and it's only because of injuries in front of him, but he has sure as hell paid his dues.
GO GO GO YOU RED RED RED!!! and I guess Yale?
What's wrong with it being the Sabres?
Nothing wrong with the Sabres except that they're not good. I'm just saying it's easier to get the call up in that system than it would be for a league-leading team.
Burgy assigned back to Rochester.
