Danny F***ing Miller

by Conico do Mayo Miracle on Jan 9, 2010 11:55 PM PST in Fear The Fin News

Apparently this is the only photo of Danny Miller available online. Note that he dressed for the occasion.

ElvisVF101 was an eyewitness to what we hope will be one of those stories we tell the kids around the campfire, involving San Jose Sharks in-arena host Danny Miller =

There will be stories told of this man very soon, but, here’s the scoop:

Bunch of us were at the Firehouse downtown before the game for Conico and Grays’ birthday. Big group too, about 14 or so.

We’re sitting in the back, and Danny Miller walks out of the bathroom. We all give him a cheer, and he is sortuv taken aback, and then says, "Let me guess, Shark’s fans?" And he comes over and chats with us for a bit. Tells us a bit about the situation with Joe Ike, asks us about FTF, and in general is pretty cool.

We tell him its Conico and Grays’ birthday. He says he’ll get them a drink. We can’t find the waitress, so he says he’ll catch her on the way out and leave some cash.

Also, Conico trades numbers with him in the hopes of getting on the ice between periods.

Come time to pay the bill, we found out Danny F***ing Miller left us $100 for our bar tab, well over half!

Ladies and Gents, please raise your glasses to Danny Miller!

Damn straight.

I hope this doesn't jeopardize his standing within the Sharks organization

But Danny also had one hell of a quote that I’ve decided to add to my signature, which was in response to my sheepishness about swearing in front of him.

Totally off topic but...

What did he say about the Joe Ike situation?

It was something along the lines of “it was horrible situation.” Anyone else remember better than me? I had 3 beers at that point.

yeah, horrible situation, he turned the job down twice. Basically everyone was sad to see Ike go.

Important part

Miller turned down the job twice.

Wow.

He turned it down twice? That is a character guy. I wonder why they decided to axe Ike, but Miller has done a great job in his place.

Yeah, but i still miss ike’s version of “Sharks on the powerplay”

So I’m guessing Miller is forgiven for taking Ike’s role?

I'll say this much...

I still don’t like the situation at all but I won’t hold it against him any more.

Joe Ike was overrated! All hail Danny Miller!

He mentioned that they basically gave him an ultimatum between taking the job or finding a new one.

I think he said Matt first, before settling on Mike.

Sadly, no

He definitely didn’t arrive at Matt until we prompted him. (sorry TCY)

I remember him going through a couple different M names before he settles on Mike. Maybe I’m just making that up.

Very important credit is due

To fatbabies, for spotting Danny Miller walking to the bathroom while we were drinking and making merry.

thanks

although a bunch of that credit disappears because I couldn’t remember his name or title. Took me a couple of tries to get Conico to understand who I was talking about

I had a one in five chance of guessing

It was either Drew, Randy, Dan, Jamie, or Danny Miller.

Or Bret Hedican

No, the first five were the ones that immediately came to mind.

I was just joking

about Brody.

Poor guy. He’d be great if they ever reprised the O.C. or something like that.

That’s EXACTLY what I think whenever I see him – he’s hardly terrible, but it’s a little like seeing Billy Bush interviewing people = can we just pump him full of downers beforehand? Too much youthful energy for my old man taste :-D

By the way

I tried updating the Jersey Fouls with your AWESOME photo, but SBN is not loading properly right now (could be my computer).

I’ll load it tomorrow when possible.

Please take a look everyone – it gets a chuckle (which is the jersey’s point).

I have been less than charitable to Danny Miller in the past...

(mostly due to my dislike of the whole position of in game announcer) However, what he did this evening was nothing short of classy. The beer and the wrap were excellent. Thank you sir. You have earned my respect for you as a human being.

by princessminako on Jan 10, 2010 12:39 AM PST reply actions

Dude, Danny Miller is effing legit.

I was pretty impressed that he was even willing to stop and bs with us for like 10 minutes. And he was so open about the Joe Ike thing (I’m sure he’s heard pleanty about it), and was rather receptive to Conico trying to get into one of the Intermission trivia or on ice events. He even called Conico back an hour later to let him know that unfortunately the spots had been filled for the night. Which he didn’t have to do at all.

And then, when we track our waitress down, turns out he had left her a c-note for our bill. Hands down one of the most jaw dropping things to happen to any group I’ve been a part of in quite a while.

Thank you, Danny Miller! Your pregame awesomeness definately helped take the sting out of a rather uninspiring Sharks effort.

First of all...

I showed up late and actually thought he was a waiter cause I wasn’t paying attention. Secondly, I really had to pee. Thirdly, one of the birthday people could have said “Hey Danny Miller, can we take a group picture?” Just sayin is all….
