Yep, this and his shooting percentage jumped to 20% last year when his career average is like 12-13%. The facilitator of this debate was wrong about Tyler Mylers, the value of Risto, the awesomeness of Jeff Skinner and so who is surprised he is on the wrong side of the fence of this debate? It's cute though.

Was actually a pretty gradual climb, not that 19.2% is sustainable, but he did hit 15.3% shooting percentage the year before...him scoring at a high clip was nothing new.

I think a lot of sabres fans feel this way

Playing hockey in Boston while hurt was a very bad PR move.

Totally killed support for him

Ditto that. I's kind of like a George Costanza thing whatever he says the opposite is right.

There's a few posters that fit that profile.

Wrong , wrong and wrong again.

But then argue .....

Josh allen killed support for jack eichel.

For me anyways.

He's buffalo , and eichel is a crybaby tool

Going public with trade requests is a support killer...

Sabres fans are ready to cut down the organization at any opportunity because of how awful they've been for a decade. Eichel squandered that opportunity and managed to make the fans largely side with the Sabres.

He's getting really bad advice from his people

Rhino trade is over. Was it the right choice or right time, who knows. Maybe they would have gotten more at the TDL or maybe he gets hurt and we get screwed. The Sabres are already dealing with one injury that is affecting a trade situation, why take a gamble that another one could arise.
- Buff36


The whole trade was strange.

It took almost an entire day to complete the trade due to who knows what, as the conditions were straight forward, and then to find out the prospect was Levi and nothing else.

I think we all agree it's a mediocre to middling return.

Did the rugby guy come back to Bills training camp this year?
- Atomic Wedgie


If you're referring to Christian Wade, yes he was here. Not sure he is making the roster (can be on the practice squad from what I understand w/o any issue) but I do hope he can find himself a role on this team.

And it started with his well scripted end of the Year presser, and not bringing the Stanks lavender lube with him when he did it.

More likely that Jack is just doing whatever the hell he wants to do.

Eichel is probably getting good advice and doing his own thing.

Season ticket holders due date is approaching.

$15,850.00 bill sitting on my lap
πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Sabres are willing to PAUSE your seats for a season with a 20% balance on your account.

Also renew will be February annually, not august from here on. Really turning the screws.

I'm probably going to pause 8 and keep a pair....

Blog suggestion: season ticket holder truckulance

- IceColdBeer


He would have been much better off staying out of the public eye and keeping the comments to a minimum to accomplish that.

He probably would have Sabres fans saying "free jack" instead of things like "let him rot"

Locally there is very little pressure for KA to move Eichel

Yeah, we will hate having to replace SAm's goals, no doubt, but it will be a piece of cake replacing his lack of speed, lack of physicality, lack of leadership, and his whopping 15 assists...and his crappy attitude. Heck, if we can teach literally anyone else on the team how to tip shots generated by other players, we've already replaced half of Sam's goals.
- LandlordTom


Half of Sam's goals?

That's a fabrication and total bullpoop.

Not sure what is going to happen to him

You know, I was never going to bring this up because of how embarrassing it is

But do you remember how you defended Cody Eakin and said how he’d be so much better than the analytics said he was? And he’d be a good third liner?

Make sure that’s on your resume next time you post it

You liked Cody Eakin.

Nothing you say has any merit whatsoever
