Hey there.

I just read an interview with TV in an Austrian Newspaper. It was rather short and not that informative, but there where two pretty interesting news:

1. Vanek's girl is pregnant with twins, they'll arrive in november
2. Vanek is "absolutely sure that the Sabres will get another player".

Well, we'll see. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Link?

EDIT: Well I guess if it's in a newspaper, it won't have a link. Does the paper have a website that would have this story listed though?

Here is a rough translation, very rough:

Quote:
Vaneks to stop son " no more so simply " in November Thomas Vanek of the Buffalo Sabres becomes for the second time a father, son Blake Thomas becomes year-old in August, three and claims the father fully - the NHL star told in a short Styria visit.

The home vacation of Thomas Vanek precipitates this summer unusually briefly. Hockey star of Austria is only few days in Styria, and without family. Since his Mrs. Ashley is pregnant with twins. " I have to go back fast, help out ", explained Vanek on Friday with a press conference in Graz. In November the NHL forward of the Buffalo Sabres becomes for the second time a father, son Blake Thomas becomes year-old in August, three and claims the father fully. " He is so easy no more to stop. I run after to him ".
Back to the roots Vanek was on Thursday to guest in Zell/lake where he had proved his talent already as a small toddler. On the week-end he is on a wedding, before it goes on Monday back to Minnesota. There the best player of Austria continues the preparation on the new NHL mastery beginning on the 7th October.


After a being disappointing season with many injuries and From in the first Play out of vision round Vanek hopes that the Sabres can have a say this time a more important word in the assignment of the Stanley cup. The gate hunter was fit just on time for the Play out of vision and had come to form when put him to Boychuk of Boston with a foul except battle. " He did not want to injure me, but hinder from going on the gate. Then he has liked on me, then there the muscle has also torn ". Vanek gave a comeback with a gate. However, he was anything but fit, Buffalo retired. Thus he had to colook at how nearly another Austrian player has got the Stanley cup. Andreas Nödl to whom Vanek has flattened once the way to America, the move succeeded with Philadelphia Flyers in the finale which the Flyers lost, however, without Nödl against Chicago Blackhawks. " I want to be the first Austrian with the Stanley Cup. But Andi is a really fellow if he had won, I would have been the first who would have called and would have congratulated. If I am the second, I am on gladly ", according to the 26-year-old.
Therapy and training Vanek did after early from " four, five weeks of break. There I have done therapy. Three weeks ago I have begun with the training again.
With some unities I have still felt the injury ", the preparation would not hinder the injury, however, really. If Vanek comes at the end of August / beginning of September again to Buffalo, he will greet some new players könnnen. After the departures top defender Henrik Tallinder and tones Lydman the Sabres Jordan Leopold have obliged, to it forward Rob Niedermayer. " And they will get certainly still whom ", believes Vanek, the Leopold the Sabres has recommended. " Buffalo is a good hockey town and family town. What you want more than before 19,000 spectators hockey to play ".

Interested spectator of the press conference and the next presentation of his biography " the play of my life " was a former teacher. Werner Gregoritsch, coach of the Fußball-Bundesligisten mountain Kapfen, had the young Vanek in the SH Brucknerstrasse as a pupil. " He was an ambitious pupil, has never struck, was very logical and professional. His setting has impressed me, he could be never hung, also at school he has brought his achievement ", remembered Gregoritsch which is also mentioned in the biography. Vanek thanked with a signed book. " This pleases me very much ", according to Gregoritsch, the Vanek for his young sportsmen always also as a model puts.
However, in vain he has tried to persuade Vanek to the football.

The one things that's gonna be tough for him is not being around his family. It's A LOT easier for whoever stays home with them to have that break and support. Trust me, I know.

Haven't you seen The Sound of Music? They speak English in Austria. They're also very quick to break out in song and very good singers.
