muppy Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) It's a Blowout. A bona fide butt kicking by the LV Golden Knights. FL is frustrated by the Vegas goaltender and the only goal they do have is a deflection off the defense man into the net? lol Neither of these teams are lily white as far as physical shots are concerned. It's not over but IT"S OVER. 2-0 series lead. And senor Eichels head is intact after a vicious but legal check. HA Tkachuk scores now 6-2. I'm watching for extra chippiness at this point FL is desperate Edited June 7, 2023 by muppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'm starting to think that Eichel's woes with the Sabres wasn't all Eichel. It was Eichel (and Reinhardt and Montour and Staal and anyone else) playing under Ralph Kruger as coach. If Eichel was on the Sabres today under Don Granato, he would buy into the team like he is in Vegas. And it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he had his shoulder popped back into his socket after that hit from Tkachuk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a talented player and is fitting in well with a good team that has a strong coach and some solid veterans in the locker room. Between the trash coaches we had, the uninspiring system, and all the expectations for the #2 pick it was a poor situation for any young kid. Particularly Eichel who was asked to lead the team at a young age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall arguing with Sabres fans over at Sabrespace in Eichel's/McDavid's first season, and I mentioned the gap between the 2 is HUGE. Needless to say the masses came after me arguing they are the same player. LOL. I have Eichel somewhere around the 10th best center in the league. If he was Canadian, and the Olympic team went back to using NHlers, Eichel wouldn't even make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may as well have been Leaf v Manning. McJesus is perhaps the most singularly talented player to ever put on skates. I am not declaring McDavid the greatest player, but I don't think anyone compares to his blend of speed, skill, vision, and agility. The stuff he pulls off is unreal. I think 10th is generous for Eichel as it stands. There are many centers more productive than Eichel and his defensive game has never been anything noteworthy.

I was going to give this a thumbs up except for your last sentence… Eichel has been phenomenal on D for us! Like literally outstanding. That was a weird add in, unless you haven’t watched him this post season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Just watching the highlights, after Gudas screamed in that young goalies face against the Leafs, after they had basically clinched the series, and seeing all his cheap shots through this playoffs… I am so glad we crushed his head in the ice. Their whole deserves that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably am… but I guess so are the experts on NHL network, Wayne Gretzky, Sirius XM who all said the same thing. This board is the only accumulation of hockey knowledge in the world that is reliable , and the actual experts who played the game at its highest level and/or are paid a ton for their hockey insights are clueless… just like me. Eichel has definitely been bad on defense, because this board said he was bad for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospector Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 This is a local article, but it backs up a bit of what I mentioned about Eichel and his contribution this post season. https://m.lasvegassun.com/news/2023/jun/05/vgk-jack-eichels-playoff-legend-grows-with-golden/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
