rmances. It has been a little bit disappointing. There have been moments when it has been pretty good, but followed by a few drop-offs. But, you know, the team reflects the goalie and the goalie reflects the team.NHL.com: You have a reputation for being a perfectionist. Are you?MILLER: Yeah. But I am not as bad as I used to be. You have to allow for some things to happen over the course of a season and it's not always going to be perfect. You are going to have to battle through some bad stuff. Like that [March 21] game against Toronto. Things weren't going great, but we figured it out and got a win in the shootout. Sometimes, those are the games you have to play and battle through. We are trying to do that as a team this season. We have to just get our points and into a playoff position.NHL.com: Do you see yourself playing in Buffalo after your contract runs out next season?MILLER: That is up to Buffalo. That is something they probably want to start talking about in the next few months. A lot of that is going to be dictated by the kind of plan we have here. Obviously, last year was a tough year. This year,Marian Hossa Jersey, we still have a lot of time to write our own story. We will see how things play out and see what the plan is. It seems like the plan is shifting a bit with the departure of some guys and how things have shaped up this year. We have to adjust and see what the plan is.NHL.com: Since you spend summers in Los Angeles and your wife is there, do you ever fantasize about moving to a West Coast team?MILLER: No. I will just try to take it as it comes. I am with a team that has been really good to me, and I want to see how things play out. It has been brought up by a lot of people, but it is a privilege to have the opportunity to play goalie in the NHL. It is not about, ‘Oh,Anze Kopitar Jersey, I want to play here or play there.' Every team has a plan in net and you can't just hop around and assume you will have some kind of ideal situation. Right now, I am focusing on playing for my team in Buffalo and seeing what I can do here.NHL.com: But being 3,000 miles apart from your wife can't be easy during season.Miller: It hasn't been easy on our relationship. Noureen has been pretty busy with her career and hockey is obviously very consuming. But a lot of couples who are being successful in their careers and doing the thing they love to do have to go long stretches being apart. We just have to accept that at this point in our careers. It is tough to be away from the wife,Mark Messier Jersey, but we both have the opportunity to do the thing we love and we just accept that for what it is in the moment.NHL.com: You hold an annual fashion show fundraiser each season for your Steadfast Foundation for kids but had to cancel this year due to the lockout.MILLER: Yeah, I was very disappointed. It is something I look forward to every year. There was just no time in the schedule, but we still have kept our programs in place and I will soon be making time to visit more kids in the hospital. No matter what happens moving forward with my career, the charity will continue.
