LabattBlue Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 Vanek was directly responsible for two of the Sabres goals last game by standing in front of the net and screening the goalie. As long as Vanek's play improves throughout the season, I'll be happy. I still think he can hit the 25 goal mark, but if he only scores 15-25 and is a better player(then when the season started) with a year of NHL experience under his belt, that will be okay too.
