Ryan Miller's Best Still Not Good Enough

BOSTON -- Seconds after the final horn signaled the end of the Sabres' season, Ryan Miller skated to center ice -- mask off but head down, anxious to get the obligatory handshake line started.

Who could blame him?

To the outsider, building a contending hockey team is a snap.

All you need is a great goalie.

Tell that to Miller and the Buffalo Sabres, who saw their season end less than two weeks into the postseason with a 4-3 loss to the Bruins at the TD Garden on Monday.

"This hurts," the goaltender said 20 minutes later in the visiting team locker room. He was already showered and dressed. "As a group, I don't know if we did as well as we could. We have enough guys that know what's going on that should be leading the way. We made some critical errors that proved costly."
