Sabres goalie Ryan Miller left practice this morning in New Jersey after taking a Marc-Andre Gragnani shot up high “off the collarbone area,” reports BuffaloNews.com

Right after the puck clanged the goalie, he got to his skates and headed directly to the dressing room area, stopping only briefly to angrily put his stick on the bench.

The agitated goalie spent time in the medical room with Tim Macre. The athletic trainer then met privately with coach Lindy Ruff.

When asked later if he was OK, Miller said, “Yeah,” and walked away.

Ruff added: “I think he’s OK.”

So that’s…good.

PS -- Can you think of a worse goalie to hit up high with a shot during practice than Miller? I feel like he’d hold a grudge. Probably gonna give Gragnani the silent treatment for a month.
