Goaltender Ryan Miller and the Sabres had plenty of problems with calls in Monday’s game against the Penguins. Associated Press At the end of a routine 5 1/2-minute session with reporters Tuesday in the Amherst Pepsi Center, Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller dropped a bit of a bombshell: The Sabres’ bench minor in the second period Monday at Pittsburgh may have been the outgrowth of a referee’s profanity-laced outburst at Miller during a stoppage in play.
The Sabres had plenty of problems with calls in the game as they dealt with nine minor penalties and a trio of two-man advantages. One was for the full two minutes as Buffalo got the bench minor in protest of an interference call on Thomas Vanek.
Miller went so far Tuesday as to refer to it as a “slanted officiating job.” Near the end of practice, Miller and coach Lindy Ruff were chatting on the ice and reporters inquired about the talk.
“It was just about the referee, a brief conversation I had with the ref that was a little surprising to me,” Miller said. “He told me to ‘go [bleep] myself’ because I was just asking a question. I was just kind of joking around [to Ruff], saying, ‘Maybe that kind of started what got the bench minor going.’
“To be honest, I was respectful. I asked him a question and he told me maybe I should ‘go [bleep] myself.’ ”
Tim Peel and Justin St. Pierre were the referees. Asked which referee it was, Miller responded, “I’m not going to get into it” and Sabres spokesman Chris Bandura ended the session.
A review of the Versus game tape, however, shows Peel having an animated discussion with Miller with 16:11 left in the second period, about seven minutes prior to the bench minor. There’s a faceoff in the Buffalo end with 16:13 left, Miller points to something in the circle and Peel whistles the play dead almost immediately and skates directly to the Buffalo goaltender. Peel is clearly gesturing at Miller with his left hand before the camera shot cuts away.
Ruff had already spoken to reporters by the time Miller’s situation came to light. A call and message left for NHL Director of Officiating Stephen Walkom was not returned.

Actually, I’vee benn back about a week or so. We’ve just started digitizing the footage into FCP. We shout almost 44 hours so it will take awhile. I love going to New York, but I always love leaving as well. It’s been raining almost everyday back here at home since my return but I always love the weather.
Reminds me of New York.
Hey, we’re still in NYC shooting Mike Daisey’s monologue “If You See Something Say Something.” We’ve been at The Public Theater every night which has been pretty cool. The shoot are going really well with no (knock on wood) major problems so far. It’s all very cultural, though I was just sitting next to a group of junkies in the local coffee shop who we’re scheming how to get meds from the pharmacy next door while reminiscing about their bud who got gunned down on 3rd Avenue. In New York, theater happens every day on the streets…
We’re in the West Village, drinking coffee, getting ready to set up our cameras.
I’m in NYC. We start shooting the show tomorrow night.
Off to New York City. Sweet.
It’s a beautiful morning in sunny Santa Monica. Trying to finish up a script before I head to NYC next week.
