Doohicksie Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I had to save this thread from the second page... what that tells me is there really is a lot going on with the Sabres. Anyway, watching interview with Eichel... Q: "Does it make it any easier when you play with two proven NHL players, that the game.... if it slows down or if there's anything that happens, but two guys that have played so long...." Jack: "Ah, you just want to play fast. That's the most important thing." :wub: Oh, and I'm just gonna put this out there: At this point Jack Eichel is already becoming #41 to me. I kinda hope he keeps it and makes it his own.

WildCard Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I still look for 15 or 5 on the ice because of all the highlights, interviews, analysis, etc.
Doohicksie Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 How does he make a former captain's # his own? The same way I made this house my own when I bought it. Doesn't matter who had it before.
dudacek Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I believe the house that Jack built used to be called the FN Centre.
beerme1 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 Crossroads / Marine Midland Arena / HSBC Arena / First Niagara Center / Jacks Place I never knew that chitty little place on Millersport would be able sponsor the arena name.
That Aud Smell Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Oh, man. I just love this kid. Noisey. Chirpy. http://www.diebytheblade.com/2015/10/2/9438671/watch-jack-eichel-micd-up-at-rookie-showcase BTW, might we change this topic's title to something like "Everything About Jack Eichel." Or "Jack Talk." (Just, please, no "Jacker" as Matthew Coller would have it.)

That Aud Smell Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I agree, Smeller. You dastardly somb!tch.
darksabre Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Someone slap Coller next time he says Jacker. What, no one liked Rammer either?
That Aud Smell Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Someone slap Coller next time he says Jacker. What, no one liked Rammer either? The -er nickname construct has its place in hockey. Rammer worked, obviously. But not with the name Jack. NFW. In addition, I generally do not refer to the players by the nicknames used for them on the team (e.g., no way am I calling Ennis Enzo). And I generally roll my eyes at anyone who does. (Bro, you're not on the team.) Along the same lines, I remember quite clearly how Boucher said it wasn't so disorienting to be traded to the Kings because he would be headed out west with Fuhr-zee. That was just awful. Although, I guess Fuhr-er would not work. For obvious reasons.

I'm guessing given the clumsiness of anything involving sie, zee, or er that it will be something off the wall like Ripper or what not.
LGR4GM Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Posted October 2, 2015 What, no one liked Rammer either? car ramrod!
thesportsbuff Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 as someone who shares his name, "Jacker" is about the stupidest nickname i could even dream up for myself. but to be fair, there aren't any good ones.
qwksndmonster Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 "It's slow. Some guys can't handle the slower pace... I myself enjoy it." Eichel's pretty funny.
sabills Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Apparently Pysyk's team nickname is "Pysser", which is amazing.
SwampD Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 as someone who shares his name, "Jacker" is about the stupidest nickname i could even dream up for myself. but to be fair, there aren't any good ones. Not even Jackal?
Rasmus_ Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Jack Eichel's shifts from 9/26 (Second Ottawa game) - 34.35 minutes
woods-racer Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Can't we go with Eich (Ike)? I LIKE Eich!
Lanny Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 We could, but I feel like all hockey nicknames end in S, ZEY, or ER Yeah, it would definately be Eich-sie
Claude_Verret Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Can't we go with Eich (Ike)? I LIKE Eich! We could, but I feel like all hockey nicknames end in S, ZEY, or ER Gus doesn't adhere to that rule. Following on Swamp, I like Jackyl. I can see Eichel doing a great karaoke version of The Lumberjack.
shrader Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 Apparently Pysyk's team nickname is "Pysser", which is amazing. I always wanted Yuri Khmylev to modify Hasek's nickname and be known as the Yurinator.
X. Benedict Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I always wanted Yuri Khmylev to modify Hasek's nickname and be known as the Yurinator. Well he did play with Puppa.
TrueBlueGED Posted October 2, 2015 Report Posted October 2, 2015 I always wanted Yuri Khmylev to modify Hasek's nickname and be known as the Yurinator. Well he did play with Puppa. And some people wonder why SDS thinks Swords of a Thousand Men will result in a bunch of male genital jokes :lol:
