Wild's Thomas Vanek admits he let teammates, fans down
Jasen Vinlove / USA TODAY Sports
Expensive signing, cheap excuse.
Reflective of his languid playoff performance, Thomas Vanek relayed halfhearted penitence following the Minnesota Wild's Game 4 ousting Thursday at the hands of the Chicago Blackhawks.
"I knew I only needed one to get going and I didn't get it. I let them down. Their scorers scored when they needed to with timely goals and I didn't," he told reporters.
Vanek finished with four assists and a minus-7 rating in the postseason and was reduced to 15 shifts in the series-deciding Game 4.
