    I'm really getting sick of Vanek

    I can't believe they put that bum in the shootout. He's mostly invisible and takes shifts off night after night. Sure, the rest of the team does this often but they're not making 7 million dollars

    I think that shot to the jaw last season hit him so hard it drove his head up his ass.

      Guys I realize he should be producing more, but don't you realize the team has changed to a defense first shell? It is almost like the Trap. We are not run and gunning anymore. It doesn't suit Vanek's style at all.

      We have a double digit lead in our division. Ease down.

        Not to mention where he flourished was in front of the net. But now with people packing the area in front of the net with bodies he rarely get a goal from a deflection.

                Vanek is making $6.4 million this year. Pominville is making $4.5 million this year.

                Vanek is playing like he deserves the same contract as Pominville.

                    Satan never stood in front of the net on power plays and took the beating that Vanek takes standing there.

                        I think he's just comparing the fact that they were both lazy players.

                          He's not fast. Getting the crap beat out of him when he goes in front of the net isn't my idea of lazy.

                          I would equate him with Dave Andreychuk. He got called out for being lazy and not using his size with checking, but he was really a good player and a good leader.

                            peopel are forgetting liundy transitioned the team to playing defense, and not trying to light it up 100% of the time,

                            think D3 the Mighty Ducks.


                            Vanek isnt gonna score 40 playing defense first, 30 maybe... but not 40

                              We'll be lucky if he nets 20
