The Stats dont mean shit.In some games he has two goals in one game.You’d have to not pay any attention to him if u dont see what he does while hes out on the ice and how he dances around everyone and scores goals clean with no deflections, which are most of vaneks goals.I mean vaneks awesome for that and one of the best in the league for being infront of the net,but over all max is just more talented and creative. He was on fire scoring every game before he was out. Theres no doubt that if he was still in the game back then that he would be right next to vanek if not better. Max is only 4 goals away, alot coulda happend in 5 games with afinogenov
