‘The Sabres did not show enough against the Caps for me to think they are returning to their 2009-10 form, but one of the baby steps had to be a home victory. Vanek is one of the players that needs to be better if the team is going to move up the Eastern Conference ladder, and for one night he was. Vanek made maybe the nicest move any Sabre has made all year to score the game-winning goal against the Caps.’
