LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Ryan Miller won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender after helping the Buffalo Sabres to the Northeast Division title.
He set a franchise record with 41 victories and beat out Ilya Bryzgalov of the Phoenix Coyotes and New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, a four-time winner of this award.
Miller was nominated for the first time and has long hoped to win the award.
"When I do things I always want to do them the very best way," said Miller. "I've been working very hard to get to this situation. It just kind of comes with a blend of putting in the time and also having the people around me."

"Last year we came in as maybe an underdog, quietly. Got off to the right start just because teams weren't really ready for us. But this time around that's not the case. They realize we are a good team and they're ready to go against us, right off the get-go."
