BUFFALO Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said he is disappointed the NHL decided not to discipline Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic for a hit that left the former All-Star sidelined with a concussion.
Miller suffered the concussion when he was bowled over by Lucic during Saturday's game when he left his crease to play a loose puck. "I am disappointed but it is out of my control," Miller, who said he is suffering from whiplash and headaches, said. "I am not going to be happy about it."
Miller also said he did not agree with Lucic's explanation that he could not avoid the collision that sent Miller's mask flying. "I think he (Lucic) said what he had to say to avoid being suspended," he said.
"It's the NHL, man. The guy can skate. He can stop. He can turn. He can pick his head up."
Miller said he hoped the incident would not prompt "open season". "Lucic's a tough guy," said Miller. "What are you going to do? Hack him? Spear him? Cheap-shot him? Then you're not better than he is."
