from Kevin Woodley at NHL.com,

Ryan Miller is joining the dark side, but only for one game.

Miller has a stylish new set of pads, gloves and a mask ready to match the retro black skate jersey the Vancouver Canucks will wear Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs as part of ongoing 20th anniversary celebrations at Rogers Arena. But as good as the gear looks, with an orange and yellow "V" set against the black pads, Miller has no intention of switching from his usual, predominantly white equipment.

He's not alone. If it seems like a lot of NHL goaltenders are wearing mostly white these days, that's because many believe it looks bigger compared to darker options.

"This is a one-off, so I thought why not have fun with it?" Miller told NHL.com. "I thought it would look good with the jerseys. I wasn't thinking big or small. It's just one game."

Asked if the possibility of looking smaller was one reason he wouldn't consider darker equipment beyond that game, Miller, who added more blue to his pads this season, admitted the difference might matter more over time.
