DETROIT – In little more than nine months, Drew Miller has gone from ironman to rehab patient.
“One of those years you want to forget,” Miller said this week.
Since he was claimed off waivers early in the 2009-10 season, Miller has been the Red Wings’ model of durability. But now he heads into a summer of uncertainty following the reconstructive knee surgery he had 15 weeks ago.
It’s been quite the ordeal for Miller, who in three separate incidents since last March almost lost his right eye, suffered a broken jaw, and tore what remaining ligaments were in his left knee.
