Miller asked not to play on the first night back in Buffalo, too. STL has the luxury of actually being good, though.

Seems like something only a goalie would even dare to ask for.

The Deadspin article I read it in kind of hinted that Halak is a nutjob even for a goalie, so yeah.

I've never transferred or been traded, but I don't think I'd have to cojones to ask not to play against an ex team.

The stories of his partying were wide spread. My personal belief is the team felt he and Marchand were a dangerous combination together, off the ice, and decided Tyler had the lesser rehabilitation potential.
