Ryan Miller and Barney the Purple Dinosaur

December 01, 2014

Ryan Miller may be second in the NHL in wins, but his other statistics are pretty terrible, largely because of how he’s struggled in his few losses. How much should we worry about Miller and his Jekyll and Hyde performance this year?


Daniel and Harrison try to answer that question and also talk about Shawn Matthias’s improvement of late, the importance of Linden Vey’s play at even-strength, the pairing of Luca Sbisa and Kevin Bieksa, and Jake Virtanen being named to Team Canada’s selection camp for the World Junior Championship.


Before all that, however, they talk about Barney the Purple Dinosaur and how everyone in our age group likely remembers some variation of the parody of Barney’s famous song that starts with, “I hate you, you hate me, let’s gang up and kill Barney.” How does that happen in a pre-internet age?
