spndnchz Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=559202 He even skipped a game. lol Vanek recorded consecutive three-point games, helping the Sabres (43-29-10) clinch a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference for the second consecutive season. He notched his first hat trick of the season and seventh of his NHL career in a 4-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning Apr. 5 and scored the overtime winner and added a pair of assists in Buffalo's playoff-clinching 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers Apr. 8. Vanek completed the 2010-11 regulation as the Sabres leader in goals (32), assists (41) and points (73). He tied for the team lead in power-play goals (11) and game-winning goals (five). Vanek and the Sabres open their Eastern Conference Quarter-Final series at Philadelphia Thursday (7:30 p.m., ET, TSN, VERSUS joined in progress).

Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hmmm... Be that the "curse of the ghost of Dwight Drane?" Good thing or bad? ;-) Miller won it a few weeks ago. You don't want the curse of the Ghost of Dwight Drane. You end up installing security cameras at your house and taking 2 weeks of antibiotics.

WNYbacker Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 all that regular season production is fine and dandy. wat matters most now is that he finnally decides to show up for the playoffs and put the points up then; when it really counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Vanek's had a wonderful 2011. 19G 29A for 48 points in 43 games, and those numbers could have easily been higher with all the chances he's gotten the last few weeks. He ended up tied for 15th best in points in the NHL. In terms of ice time per point, Vanek finished 9th at 19:01 (Crosby is unsurprisingly first here, with 13:36).

LGR4GM Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 similar and at the same time different did anyone check out the TSN power rankings, freaking hilarious... we are ranked below the rangers... wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say bring it on.... give us the trashy rankings ... the ugly talk. The sports media hating Buffalo feeds us IMO. Buffalo is meant to be the underdog... we just need to finally master the underdog mentality and bring home a Stanley Cup along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazielSabre Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I say bring it on.... give us the trashy rankings ... the ugly talk. The sports media hating Buffalo feeds us IMO. Buffalo is meant to be the underdog... we just need to finally master the underdog mentality and bring home a Stanley Cup along with it. BTW, love the name. Anyway, I gotta say that sometimes I think it's when we're the underdog we do our best work. Only when we sank to the depths of the NHL did we actually start playing well, and going into the playoffs as the underdog might really help us in the same way. IMHO.

Vanek did all you could expect of him, and the Bruins quickly recognized who they needed to cheapshot in order to win. The rest is history. *edit I got a nasty feeling the Cryers are sitting around watching DVD's of that baseball swing Boychuck took at Vanek last year.
