Enroth

It's come up constantly since Enroth started playing do well. What do you do when Miller is healthy again. It was the main topic on Schopp and the Bulldog today, and will also be my topic of discussion.

Enroth has been slowly moving up the Sabres organization for years, with the,Sabres taking time to mature their young goaltender. This year he has finally gotten a chance to play in the NHL, and he has made the most of it. He's gome 7-2-2 in his 11 games in Buffalo, as opposed to Lalime's 0-5-0. He has a 2.53 GAA and a .915 save percentage. The NHL named him 3rd star of the week today. It is obvious that Enroth has earned the backup job, but is he better than Miller?

Now, there is something that many people are forgetting. Before Miller got hurt, he was playing as well as he had played all season. The Sabres are in 7th place due to playing games that he was in goal for, not Enroth. I'm not to the point where I'm ready to name Enroth the new starter yet, but I'd ride him for the time being. He's hot right now and its just working. I don't want to disrupt something that is working so well. I'm not ready to get all over Miller yet, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciative what Enroth is bringing to the table. Putting him in this position is not ridiculous at all.
