TrueBlueGED Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 Which would lend me to think he wanted to say it. It didn't sound like he wanted to the first time, it was all hesitant and jumbled. Quote
Stads Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Posted November 5, 2015 Even though I super-loathe the Yeichel, I have a strong feeling I'm going to hear it tonight. Quote
North Buffalo Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Hoss,, so you are calling for a vote, for and against. Because I, like Physics and QWK appear to be in support of YEIKEL! Edited November 5, 2015 by North Buffalo Quote
That Aud Smell Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 One of the broadcasters with MSG/the Sabres said he believes "Yeichel" was a mistake that RJ just kind of ran with. He also believes everybody is hesitant to say anything to RJ because of his stature, but he himself is considering asking him to stop saying it. Good stuff. And I'm good with whatever RJ wants to do.

Stoner Posted November 5, 2015 Report Posted November 5, 2015 yeichel.com is available. Just sayin. Quote
Stoner Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Maybe the delivery had to be better. It's growing on me! I swear, Rick (and Jack) will make us love this. Quote
SwampD Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Maybe the delivery had to be better. It's growing on me! I swear, Rick (and Jack) will make us love this. Yep. I know what I hate,... and I didn't hate that. Quote
Stoner Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Yep. I know what I hate,... and I didn't hate that. You are so pragmatic. Quote
bunomatic Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Is this thread all things Yeichel or all things Eichel? Or a little of both ? Quote
thewookie1 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 Is this thread all things Yeichel or all things Eichel? Or a little of both ? Yeichel, Jack Eichel! Quote
Iron Crotch Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 The best thing about Eichel is the strength of his clavicles. Quote
qwksndmonster Posted November 6, 2015 Report Posted November 6, 2015 The best thing about Eichel is the strength of his clavicles. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote
Stads Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Posted November 6, 2015 Maybe the delivery had to be better. It's growing on me! I swear, Rick (and Jack) will make us love this. I still think it's pretty bad. The over enthusiastic Yeichel is almost worse in my book. Check back in 10 more goals or so and I'll let you know if I'm jumping aboard the Yeichel locomotive. Quote

Neo Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Sorta funny, I think. About halfway down the page there's a video of Eichel scoring against Tamba Bay. The caption under the video reads "Hilarious Announcer". It is, of course, our RJ.

Doohicksie Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Also from the article: Against Philadelphia last week, his release was so quick that even upon repeated viewings, you can’t quite see it. True: If you watch the replays of Jack's goals, you have to watch several times on some of them to see where he actually shoots. A lot of the time he's got it on his stick and in the next frame it's halfway to the goal, and you never saw the puck leave his stick. Quote

A lot of the time he's got it on his stick and in the next frame it's halfway to the goal, and you never saw the puck leave his stick. it's a fair fecking point. there've been a couple of those beauties, where i found myself wondering how or why the shoot eluded the 'keeper. the distance, angle, and placement didn't seem all that unusual or dangerous. i don't play, so i can't really know. i'm guessing his release and the puck's speed are what make the difference. all the difference, it seems.

Doohicksie Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 I have a theory, which is mine, that Jack's shot is largely wrist action with little or no visible follow through. Not particularly hard, but released at unexpected times, accurately placed, and without the follow through, hard to pick up by the goalie. It's like every shot is a screened shot because the goalie can't get the usual visual cue of the puck's direction from the follow through of the stick. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 I watch his first goal regularly, and I still cannot see the puck at any point after it leaves his stick. It just disappears and I only know it's in because of Rick and the crowd. Quote
Stads Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 I loved seeing a goal without a "Yeichel" in tow. How did the radio call sound? Quote
wjag Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) How about OME Ohhhhhh my Eichel! Edited November 11, 2015 by wjag Quote
MattPie Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 I loved seeing a goal without a "Yeichel" in tow. How did the radio call sound? Duff does a long, gutteral "SCOOOORRRREEEEESSSSSS!" Quote
dudacek Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Rick needs to adopt Eicharamba! I will be putting it on a T shirt Quote
WildCard Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Rick needs to adopt Eicharamba! I will be putting it on a T shirt The Eicharamba is awesome. I'm hoping we develop an "I like Eich" chant at the F'NC By the way, was it Duff who called the game last night? That guy is terrible. He does an amazing job of not telling you where the pick is on the ice. Quote
