Ryan Miller trolls St. Louis Blues with awesome save, victory (Video)

Ryan Miller faced the St. Louis Blues on Thursday night for the first time since his brief, underwhelming tenure there ended last season. And so, of course, he played outstanding in the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-1 victory over the Blues, including this incredible save against Jori Lehtera that led to a Nick Bonino goal the other way:

 

Miller made 31 saves in the win. Here's a bit longer highlight:

He was 10-8-1 for the Blues last season with a .903 save percentage, which dropped to .895 in their six-game loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. While the fans felt Miller’s time there was a bust, he enjoyed playing in St. Louis.

As Miller said before the game, via the Vancouver Sun:

“It just didn’t end well and I think that is where the drama comes from is people want to know why,” Miller said. “I don’t have any hard feelings. It was a situation where they were hoping it would lead to something different within the organization and it just didn’t pan out, just didn’t work out the way we hoped. There are a lot of different reasons for that. I don’t feel like I played to the best of my abilities, I don’t think I played terrible. But in the playoffs that little difference is (big).”

A few more saves like that one on Thursday night, and perhaps the playoffs would have been a little different …
