‘With three goals in 4:05 late in the second period, including two by Vanek, the Sabres blew the game wide open, but remember that long before he tipped Dmitri Kalinin’s point shot between Henrik Lundqvist’s legs or put Paul Mara on the burning deck and wristed the puck over him inside the right post, Vanek made the smallest of defensive plays in his own zone. It was big enough to send the game 155 feet, and 180 degrees, in the other direction.’
