Let's bear in mind the kind of punishment Vanek keeps taking by standing in the slot - the Canadiens cross-checked him over the head right after his goal Thursday. I'm not surprised in the least that he's hurting from the beating he absorbed.
I admire the way he accepts it as his role and willingness to continue going into the areas he knows he'll get pounded but I wonder how long before he has to wear the kind of horse collar Vaive used to in his latter years as protection.
