WildCard Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Eichel's interview about his first game, included him being pretty funny around the 3:30 mark about his abilities and some teammate (Kane? Lehner?) messing with him. Also talks about the team retreat at the end. In the same article, Byslma apparently had this discussion with Eichel about his number change http://thehockeywriters.com/jack-eichel-switching-to-15/ Bylsma added that Eichel was a bit reluctant to change due to how well he had played with the 41 on his back. “He’s going to change, although he thought maybe he had done pretty well in training camp and he shouldn’t change,” he said. “I told him he played bad last game and freed him up to change.” Edited October 8, 2015 by WildCard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I can't think of a Buffalo athlete with this wonderful combination of skill and personality. OJ? Perreault was shy. Kelly was cocky. Hasek was weird. Pat LaFontaine, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I haven't celebrated a goal like this in over 3 years. And now I've done it twice in one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I haven't celebrated a goal like this in over 3 years. And now I've done it twice in one week. The goal was unbelievable. The best moment for me was watching him maintain possession after the trip by foligno. He is flat out with his feet flailing and is still out stick handling the opposition.

Perreault was shy. Kelly was cocky. Hasek was weird. Pat LaFontaine, I guess.Good call. Think of the Super Bowl Bills teams -- a rogues gallery, of sorts. Lot of weird characters. I think the OJ call is a good one. I myself don't have clear memories of how it was to cheer for OJ. I actually remember him playing for SF as much as anything. Lafontaine was a heap of fun. But he came to us mid-career (or what should have been mid-career). Edited October 13, 2015 by That Aud Smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Three games. I'm trying to find balance. NHL Network, two days in a row, is describing Eichels's goal vs. Columbus. "Remarkable, followed his shot, like basketball", "a football player throwing a bomb to himself", "beat nine guys to the puck", "Buffalo fans so loud". Balance ....

shrader Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 He's the real deal. :) Finally a player I don't mind paying to watch. And he's just a kid. Try to picture him in 2-3 years.

inkman Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hasek was a Grade A Alchy And a fookin weirdo that teammates didn't exactly embrace. He'll of a goalie though. Imagine if he wasn't hung over for every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 For fun go read the draft lottery thread and start on page, 10 roughly. Lots of interesting Eichel talk there with some talk about losing out on McDavid. Fun revisionist history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woods-racer Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hope he was on a hands-free cell phone gizmo. Bluetooth. My dad is 75.

bcsaberks Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 He called in to The Rich Eisen Show today https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ICCQ8sjh7DA&feature=youtu.be Thanks for posting. To summarize for those that don't listen: Eisen "you are from Boston?" Eichel "yup" Eisen "you wanted to be drafted by Bruins?" Eichel "didn't matter" Eisen "But Bruins are your fav team?" Eichel "uh yeah they won the cup when i was in middle school wtf u think" Eisen "Patriots fan?" Eichel "yes they are my team, Bills too!" Is Eisen from Boston? (googled, he's from NYC) Or not a hockey fan? Thanks for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to drudge up an old debate, but don't you think it's the fact you're talking on the phone while driving that could be a problem, not that you're holding a phone? Eisen got a little too close to Tim Horton territory for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisen got a little too close to Tim Horton territory for my liking. You drudged. Talking while driving either to a passenger or to your windshield or singing along to a song on the radio has a very low risk of causing an accident. Trying to dial/ searching for a contact/ changing radio stations most definitely increases the risk of an accident. Bluetooth for me is a button on my steering wheel and voice commands. A dog or child in my car is far more distracting. Nice try on the country bumbkin bit. Just cause you have a few trees in your yard I'm not falling for the out of touch skit. You're not to far from CJ's Spirits, have you ever been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP question, not sure what Jack is driving but my Caddy dealer didn't let me in the vehicle without setting my bluetooth. As soon as I enter my whip all calls go through the vehicle's infotainment ???? system. Have to imagine who ever jack bought his luxury vehicle from, gave him the same courtesy.
