‘”The group just responds to Ralph so well and the message he delivers,” said Eichel, whose goal tied his career high for a season at 28. “Especially after games like St. Louis and Vancouver where I think we get away from our identity a little bit and we don’t do the things that make us successful, Ralph is able to hone the group in so well and get us to play the game we know we need to play to win. It starts with protecting our net and the house around our goalie. Transition well and play in their end.’
