Thomas Vanek blamed his lack of production in the playoffs on poor chemistry with his new linemates.

However, he wasn't pointing the finger at his teammates. He blamed himself for that not happening. "I'm a big believer in chemistry," he explained. "I started in Buffalo and I went to the Island, where I got comfortable with Johnny (Tavares) and (Kyle) Okposo and our line took off and then your game takes off. When I first got here, I struggled a bit and then I got moved to Davey (Desharnais) and Patch (Max Pacioretty) and I think as a line we were great, one of the best lines. Then I got taken off and I struggled to find myself with a new line. I played with (Tomas Plekanec) for most of the playoffs and it didn't work. We are, I believe, both very good players, but it didn't work. We're not on the same page, just different games." He averaged more than three shots a game in the regular season, but had only 28 shots in 17 playoff games. Vanek will test the market as an unrestricted free agent next month.

Plekanec was asked about the comment. He replied "He's right, it didn't work."

i do think he was misused against NY and that he should have been reunited with DD and Max.

And they should've replaced DD with Briere...and call it the 4th line. They were not doing anything.

yes, that's the best approach. your team is struggling to score, so naturally, you want to make sure that you don't play your most talented players together. you want to give them as little ice time as possible.

Love Gallagher but not a 1st line winger. Not enough of a finisher.

The effort level was not there for #67 and #20. #48 is just done.

15 goals in year one
19 in his 2nd

Looks to me like a guy who could easily be scoring 25-30 a year in his prime. If he stays healthy he's gonna be a really good top 6. I doubt he's hurting your team on the top line.

I can agree with that. Chemistry is a very nice theory but it doesn't explain the lack of effort, intensity, whatever you call what it takes to just go in front of the net and play physical.
