Last night was kinda fun.

Last night was really fun for Thomas Vanek, who notched his latest hat trick, continuing his remarkable early season run.

From ESB: Vanek 1st NHL player 5 or more PTS in a game twice in his team’s first 7 games of a season since Mario Lemieux did so in 1992-93

@tsnresearch 92-93 also last time Sabres had a player with 2 or more 5+ pt games (Lafontaine 6, Mogilny 3) — Philip Kneitinger (@PhilBBG) February 1, 2013

Congrats @t_vanek26 on the eighth career hat trick! We’ll be celebrating on Thurs. Feb 7th by handing out 10,000 hats from Gander Mountain!

Fun stuff.

Thanks for the hats! And the hats!

Oh, and here’s our GIF featuring the power of the #VanekSlapshot exploding Tuukka Rask right outta’ the net:

People do love a good explosion. Here’s a Hollywood version of Rask getting ‘sploded:

Go Sabres.
