HBL Player Spotlight Thomas Vanek

Thomas Vanek scored his 5oth goal of the season versus the Vancouver Canucks in the 48th game.

HBLNews catches up with Buffalo Sabres Left Wing Thomas Vanek for an exclusive one on one interview.

HBLNews: You have scored 50 goals in 48 games, please comment on that.

Vanek: It's pretty good. I like playing on a line with Derrek [Roy] and Jean Pierre [Dumont] and sometimes Drew [Stafford], occasionally Drury is OK too. What do you want me to say? It really comes from being on a good team that has good chemistry.

HBLNews: You have just 18 assists That's 130th in the league.

Vanek: Is that a question? Is this an interview or do you just like to hear yourself talk?

HBLNews: You have only 18 assists and 129 players have more than you. Would you comment on that?

Vanek: Assists are all right and all but I like to get goals more. I leave assists to my teammates. They enjoy them, so in that way I'm giving.

HBLNews: How about the pace you're on do you think you can keep it up?

Vanek: Well, I've played every game thus far and I'm not even tired. I really think I can play 82 games this season. Hope I can keep it going but it's hard. That's what she said. [laughs]

HBLNews: Thank you for the interview. How do you feel?

Vanek: I feel like a hundred dollars. You're welcome.
