All I am predicting is that over the next couple of seasons, if both remain starters, their numbers will be closer than people think (just like they were the last two seasons). I didn't say Anderson would be better than him in any of the categories except wins. Anderson could realistically take him in both wins and save percentage. I expect Miller to better him in GAA and shutouts.

I don't really take past stats into consideration too much when it comes to goalies, but take a look:

Career stats:

Anderson - 294 GP, 268 starts, 131 wins, 0.49 wins per start, 2.79 GAA, .913 SV%, 19 shutouts, 0.071 shutouts per start

Miller - 460 GP, 453 starts, 252 wins, 0.56 wins start, 2.57 GAA, .915 SV%, 28 shutouts, 0.062 shutouts per start

So, wins, save percentage, and shutouts are pretty similar.

Anderson hasn't been a starter as long, keep in mind, and has played on Florida, Chicago, and Colorado in some bad years for those teams.

All I am saying is, Miller will most likely take 3 out of 4 categories, maybe even 4. But you shouldn't be shocked if Anderson wins more games than him and puts up a similar SV%. Hell, the shutouts will probably be similar as well.
I said since 08-09 (ie: the past 3 seasons other than his best statistical season - during which his average is .917). I tend not to dig back any further than a few years as that often doesn't reflect current performance, and likewise, I didn't dig into any of the years where Anderson wasn't a starter because it's different circumstances.
