Patrick Lalime is a beloved figure in the Buffalo Sabres' locker room. Players were downright offended when he was booed last March in HSBC Arena and Ryan Miller gave him a shout-out from the podium while collecting his Vezina Trophy at the NHL Awards in Las Vegas.
Those factors certainly had to enter into the team's thinking when it came to re-signing the 36-year-old for a third season as Miller's backup...

I think that having Lalime who is a good backup goalie is important because of the fact Miller gets fatigued after only a couple of games and quickly starts making mistakes.

I like Lalime as a person. But he is sketchy as a goalie. He can be sive one day, and a brick wall the next. Miller is the best net minder in the league right now.
I think that Miller is a great goalie and he sets very high standards, Lalime has a lot to live up to. I think that Lalime is a great person he just needs a little more practice or playing time.
i agree
When I watch the Sabres play I think that Lalime really shouldn't play because Miller is still young andhas alot more years to play unlike Lalime. Lalime should just retire.
