    But Stafford's, um, "lack of proficiency" doesn't excuse Vanek's mistakes.

    He took another offensive zone penalty tonight.
    And he's only behind Crosby/Stamkos in points right now and he averages 2 minutes less ice time per game. Vanek is FAR from a problem on this team.

      It just boggles my mind that this team has so many holes and the person you want to call out is the guy who is top 3 in scoring.

        He's one of the problems with the team. A top 3 guy can't go scoreless in 6 of 8. A top 3 guy can't take offensive zone penalties in 3 out of 4 games. Teams whose "top guy" does that don't win.

          I knew your head would be spinning after that penalty last night. It was a cheap call. The two of them barely touched as the puck went up the boards and the Huberdeau stumbled. But in the first period, same exact place, Scott gets hit from behind before he can get the puck and no call. The officiating sucked...again.

          Still Vanek doesn't make the scoresheet but is clutch in the shootout in the win. Stop being so hypercritical.

          By the way...that Huberdeau is a huge f@g. What a little wuss. Always crying to the refs and exaggerating his falls.

            So you're saying no other Top Offensive player takes alot of penalties? Bull.

            Evgeni, Malkin, Eric Staal, Mike Ribero, have similar points numbers but a mess more Penalties called.

              And Malkin is a -4. If Vanek sucks, what does that make Eugene?

                    I thought the same thing but it didn't make the scoresheet.

                      They should go back and add it, it was an assist by NHL assist standards.

                        Re: Vanek right back to his old self

                        if i was the sabres GM, i would be offering Vanek in a trade. It's not that i don't like Vanek, but getting him the center help to be consistently amazing will cost more than raping some team that is close and has some top prospects.

                        This sabres team as is, can not do anything to be a playoff contender past the first round. That is their highest aspiration. and by the time we get enough pieces to have 4 adequate lines, vanek won't be who he is right now.

                        the more new bodies you get in here the more the players see that the writing is on the wall. and maybe they'll have a more consistent effort. but keeping a bunch of these losers and adding one or two guys for a push hasn't worked, nor will it. the lazy culture is so deeply ingrained with these guys.

                          A lot of you are making the false assumption the I don't care about how anyone else is doing just because I'm willing to point out Vanek's flaws.

                            Not all penalties are equally dumb. I know Vanek's have been dumb.

                            Oh, and once again...OTHER PEOPLE MAKING MISTAKES DOES NOT GIVE VANEK AN EXCUSE TO MAKE THEM TOO.

                            Enough with the kindergarten "well he did it too!" nonsense.
