Restating the Theme

by Ryan How important is it that Thomas Vanek hit the net? The importance of a win on Saturday night is obvious. With a truly dreadful start to the 2010 season, the Sabres needed to win a road game on...

And Twins Make Three

by Ryan I wanted to talk about Thomas Vanek in depth before tonight’s game, but it’s not going to happen. In short: I think what happened on Saturday is an obvious example of not only how good Vanek...

Etymology

by Ryan If there’s one thing I will always be proud of it’s this post. Not the sub-par photo manipulation skills, but the perfect combination of Greek mythology and utter boredom that created the...

Atlas on the Market

Trading Thomas Vanek is not a good idea. Joking about it on Twitter is one thing, but actually advocating for it is a completely different pile of silliness. Trading Vanek away doesn’t bring the team...

Frozen Meh

Welp. The Sabres won on Saturday night, with Thomas Vanek scoring both goals to beat the best team in the Northeast. I’m honestly bummed I can’t deliver the Atlas narrative to you on this one. Vanek’s...

A View From The Roost: Atlas Keeps Rolling

By Chris Sometimes I look back at the 2003 NHL Entry Draft and wonder if the Sabres made the right move. The first round of that draft is arguably the deepest in recent memory as, five years later,...

Laletdown Game

by Ryan Ah, the comfort of the expected. Heading into the game you knew all the factors against the Sabres; the short rest, injury troubles, the likelihood of starting the backup goalie. Throw in the...

A View from the Roost: All Around the World

Atlas ‘Simplified’

Homeric Hymn to Atlas

A View from the Roost: Atlas Comes Home

by Ryan The bucket may say so, but Thomas Vanek wasn’t the best player on the ice tonight. Sure you could make a case for him, but there were plenty of other guys who played just as well. Drew Stafford...

Cut the Cord

by Ryan I want to be mad at Thomas Vanek, I really do. After all, he’s the one who made the catastrophic mistake with thirty seconds left in overtime. It’s a play you will see a hundred times a season,...
