Ryan Miller

American professional hockey player Ryan Miller plays for the Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League.

He was selected to be a member of Team USA Men's Hockey team, and was named the starting goaltender by head coach Ron Wilson. Through three preliminary round games, Miller has allowed just four goals. He made 42 saves during Team USA's dramatic 5-3 upset victory over Team Canada on February 21, 2010. The victory moved Team USA into first place for the preliminary round, meaning they will automatically advance into the quarterfinals.

Despite having to go to Buffalo, New York the following day to resume NHL play, Ryan Miller still attended the Closing Ceremony to show support for Canada and Team USA. Next to him is his Olympic teammate and Los Angeles Kings defenseman Jack Johnson.

Miller made news in December of 2008 when he claimed that a referee told him to "go f--- himself" after Miller asked a question.The Buffalo News: Miller Claims Ref Cursed at Him

Miller was drafted 138th overall in the 1999 NHL draft by the Buffalo Sabres. He did not join the NHL immediately, but chose to attend and play for Michigan State University. He joined the Sabres in 2002 for his NHL debut. Miller split his first few seasons between the Sabres and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Rochester Americans. He was selected as the starting goaltender for the Sabres in 2005 and helped the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals in 2007.
