Vanek is making it look easy

‘Twice during Buffalo’s 7-4 victory over Boston on Thursday night, Vanek bounced the puck off the boards and danced around a defender to retrieve the carom. The first led to an assist, the other to his third goal in a five-point night.’

‘”Thomas and I play in the same trio since last year and the chemistry is good, says the attacker Quebec. Our communication is excellent, which ensures that it is easy to find on the ice.”‘

Grigorenko impresses in Sabres

‘”It’s good with the puck, he makes good games and he makes good decisions, said Sabres coach about the former protégé of Patrick Roy in Quebec. He still has things to learn. As, for example, how to play by our way, not that found in the junior … But he is excited and wants to learn.”‘

What to do with Myers and Leopold

‘Tyler Myers had a very nice first period, but fell apart in the final two stanzas. He and his partner Jordan Leopold have struggled for a while now.’

Sabres Vanek honored by the NHL

‘In six games he has six goals and nine assists for 15 points which leads the NHL. He’s second in the league in goals and assists.’

‘Last night in Boston the Sabres ignored the questionable hit, got the benefit of another penalty being called on the Bruins and got back in the game because of it. Let’s all try and remember that the next time a Sabres player doesn’t jump an opposing player and they don’t score on the ensuing power play and they lose.’
