Brawndo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 That is one happy kid! That's awesome! Quote
Taro T Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Between The Pipes might be lining up a post on this, but I'm going to steal his thunder because its cool as hell: Lauren HallVerified account[/size]@LaurenHall Following More So happy we could make this moment happen in Nashville! The the next puck on the @EichelTower615 will have Jack's autograph on it! 11:27 AM - 24 Jan 2017 from Nashville, TN[/size] Buffalo Sabres, Jack Eichel and TheEichelTower That is ####ing awesome. BtP's son will have a memory for life & (sadly for him(?), hopefully not) be a Sabres' fan for life. That's the way it's supposed to work. Fantastic. :worthy: :beer: Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Those photos belong in the awesome thread. Fantastic is right. Quote
pi2000 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 That's great, but a better idea would've been for Jack to score, flip the puck over the glass to the Eichel tower kid then show up at the kids house for a tower building ceremony where they cut out the heart of a virgin on an altar as a sacrifice to the hockey gods wearing red robes with hoods and drinking the blood of a white buffalo in Buffalo Sabres tumblers while Let Me Clear My Throat plays in the background... why didn't they think of that?

The virgin part is where it went off the rails and they scraped the idea. Apparently, they could not find a virgin. Quote
ubkev Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 That suit is great, shush. No way Jose! And where the hell is his tie? He dropped $$ on that double breasted awfulness. At least dress all the way to the nines. Wears his suit, buttoned with no tie...nope nope nope Quote
Stoner Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Some of us give the Sabres grief for all kinds of stuff, especially social media, arena atmosphere, fan relations. They get a big thumbs-up for this, hands-down. Very, very nice! And the kid got to meet RJ! Quote

Weave Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 that suit is fine. Y'all need a little sense of style. *can't believe I'm the one to say that* Quote
BetweenThePipes00 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Posted January 24, 2017 The last couple days have been beyond anything C.J. could have imagined. We can't thank Lauren Hall and the people at the Sabres enough for the way they have treated C.J. and all of us really. We kept it as a surprise for him that he was going to meet Jack so he was pretty speechless and shy for a few minutes, but Jack was unbelievable with him drawing him into a conversation. Stay tuned for more on these last couple days ... not sure exactly what they will make of it but it should be interesting ... Quote
pi2000 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 I like to think that piece of paper in Jack's breast pocket is a picture of him and Samson that he carries around wherever he goes. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Absolutely outstanding!! Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Awesome... suit has to go.... call me Jack... used to work on the Hill... not much thrill but i can keep the fashion police away... Pants shouldve been darker. White shirt always works. Edited January 24, 2017 by North Buffalo Quote
Thorner Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Indeed. Jack's suit, on the other hand... I agree with those that like the suit. The issue to my mind is the jacket size. Should be a little bit more fitted, looks a bit too loose, to my eye. Quote

A few weeks ago we played a game in Buffalo and afterward we ate lunch with a parent from the other team. His niece is Jack's girlfriend. Anyway, he said that for Thanksgiving Jack comes over and he spends more time in the basement playing with the kids than he does hanging around with the adults upstairs. He's done this at every family get together he's been at apparently. He loves kids. This is just absolutely awesome that you had this all come together. So cool. Quote
MattPie Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 You guys are so negative, he's drawing power from the 1970s to bring the Sabres back to the glory days of the French Connection. Quote

That Aud Smell Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks for the update, Pipes. Your crew is getting some love on Sabres Instagram. Quote
TM8-PL16 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Too many stories, pictures and videos to post or explain... just an amazing two days! Jack told CJ that he would look for him along the glass in pregame warm ups tonight... that's how awesome Jack is. He didn't have to say that, we didn't even mention that we'd be there for that (but we will be). So cool. Just an amazing few days! Attached is a photo of us wearing the tshirts I had made for the Road Crew event where we had several people ask us about buying them, we gave one to Jack so who knows what could happen in the future.
