Eichel performed far worse than other guys that have ZERO cups in Buffalo and a history of unfulfilled promise - Ripped Fuel
Performed far worse? Perrault, sure but he was 20-21, maybe Martin but I didn't see him play but he had Gilbert setting him up. This is also a low scoring era in the NHL so 56 pts by a 19 year old is impressive in this era when the highest scoring player only had 87 pts the year before, and the 2nd leading scorer had 86 last year. 19 year old 30 pts from 2nd leading scorer in the best league in the world. Get a grip.

I have to work on Sunday thankfully...it will save me from watching that game as well. - Stripes77
The way I look at it, is if they lose the game (most likely since they can't beat Brady) I won't regret sitting at home wasting a perfectly good day off. If they happen to win and I missed it, I'm totally ok with that. I won't be mad at myself for not watching.
So now we are talking about 2o some years ago? You are all over the place like a fart in the wind . How many coaches , GMs and owners ago is that? Don't let facts or truth get in the way . Just go go go ! - Maximum Signal
FACT... The rebuild is finished we are still in last place.
FACT... NEITHER of the #2 overalls have found the net
Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart are not the best players taken in recent years drafts. If you can't get over that you're going to have a bad time. - Buffalo--Sabres
I think we know that and being 2nd overall, not a surprise.

He was THAT impressive??? Like REALLY impressive???
so Impressive that he MUST have won...well..at least been NOMINATED for the Calder...right??
I mean if he was SO GOOD that he was comparable to historic Calder trophy seasons..then SURELY when you pigeonhole him into JUST HIS rookie year...then he REALLY must have had the league talking....
Eichel was SO GOOD last year that he compares to legends and Calder winners...Malkin, Perreault, Mario, Jagr...YET....wasn't even NOMINATED for the Calder...

EXACTLY how I feel. I'm telling my friends, just text me if Brady gets hurt, otherwise I want to know nothing.

whats your point??
MY point wasn't ALL Calder Trophy winners are legendary players....
mine was.....
The rebuild is a failure and NEITHER of the TWO #2 are helping this team get out of last place... - Ripped Fuel
When we catch up in games played, and are no longer in last place, will you shut the (frank) up then? Or, will you find something else to female dog about, like we have no ice girls, or our red line isn't designed fancy enough?
the two highest picks we have had in 30 years....a franchise defenseman signed for 6 years....a frnachise goalie settled on......two MONSTER trades made to bring in TOP LINE talent....and four defenseman brought in.....(bogo, Franson, Gorges, Kulikov)
and a scoring winger free agent that was over paid for to finish the job...

Yes, reading your off the wall ADHD ramblings you need more than a reality check.
