Dion should have got at LEAST a 2 min. interference call.

Also, Vanek is playing like a beast tonight, as is Myers.

My guess is Vanek scores before this one is over. Also, Stafford with the hatty tonight.

Book it.

In the big games that we've needed him this season, Vanek hasn't delivered.

He's got talent, and he'll use it to feast on the bottom dwelling teams in this league. But when we needed a big goal against Pittsburgh last night, our 7 million dollar man was nowhere to be found.

Hell, Myers has more game winning goals this season than Vanek does.

Go look at his stats. He got a pay day, and his production has decreased every single season since 06-07.

I'm biased because Vanek gets paid to be a difference maker for this team every night. And he takes far too many off.


Fine, be wrong.

After Vanek got his payday, he still got 40 goals, he had the same amount of points last year as he did the previous year, in about 9 less games also.

He has led our team in goals since his sophomore year in the league. He is doing fine enough this year. Vanek has plenty of big time goals in big time games.

No one really played well after the first period yesterdays game.

In games where I call shit, also when I'm wearing my home-made sabres shorts-pant shells, I'm never a jinx :lol:

I called Dipietro being gone for the season after that Johnson punch.

I'm the fucking Messiah! :lol: j/k

Vanek played well last night. When we needed a clutch OT goal for our first home win against the best team in the conference, Vanek was right there.

Myers has more game winning goals than everyone, that fact is more happenstance than anything. At least one of those GWG was set up by Thomas Vanek. Vanek also had an assist on Morrisonn's GWG against Ottawa before the ASG.

Vanek has been proven to deserve his contract TWO DIFFERENT WAYS. In the fact that he is 5th in goals per icetime since the lockout

http://blackbluegold.wordpress.com/2010 ... stat-ever/

and when compared across a variety of categories to players with similar cap hits.

http://blackbluegold.wordpress.com/2011 ... -forwards/

Vanek is an impact player 9/10 nights, he just doesn't score enough because of Lindy Ruff's system. Vanek's production is largely dependent on defensemen getting point shots through to the net, and on the other forwards getting him the puck in the slot and they CANT FUCKING DO IT.

Washington would like to disagree with you, And almost every OT game we won would like to disagree with you also.

VANEK has been a part of all of our OT wins by causing a turnover, passing the puck to a wide open player in front of the net, or putting it in the net.

Vanek is also 4/4 in the shootout with one deciding goal, so he technically has the same number of game winners as myers anyways.

but overtime wins are a whole different boat than regulation wins, in my book. you're still giving someone else the loser point. if van would score more often during regulation, instead of constantly looking sad and shaking his head when he missed the net my opinion of him this season would be completely different.


also, kotalik was never any hero for always winning the shootouts for us, so why is vanek a hero for being paid $7 million a season to come up with the goal or helpers in o.t.?

who was screening thomas on drew staffords GTG with 28 to go against Boston on 1-1-11? Thomas Vanek.

He has, I think 18 goals this season in which he set a screen and got no credit on the scoresheet. Why the hell do you think our defensemen have so many god damn goals?
