JACK'S BACK

 

 

The night we've all been waiting for:  Jack Eichel and Your Buffalo Sabres start the season.... for realz this time.

 

 

 

Now it's not quite official but I'd be shocked if we don't see Jack on the ice tonight.  The Sabres have taken 3 of 4 points from Ottawa so far this year.  This is a good rivalry game, and a great time for Jack to come out scoring.  Let's take it to the Senators!

 

 

And now, a word from our MODO:

Yo !

 

Blame Wildcard for not making another epic GDT with an EPIC vid! :flirt:

 

No but seriously, i love all the GDTs beeing made here, so much appreciated, no matter who puts down the effort to do one.

Wildcard sent me an message about making GDT the day Jack was back in action, so this vid was made this morning for this game.

Unfortunatly Wildcard is worn out on making all the GDTs so its good we have others that can step in!

 

Thought id post it here instead of the GDT, i will remove this after tonights game vs Ottawa is over.

LETS GO BUFFALO & JACK!

Just off the top of my head, Jack has 3 goals and 2 or 3 assists against Ottawa so far. Let's hope this is a career-long trend. 

 

Holy cow I'm excited. I missed everything about #15. I feel like there's new life poured into me.

 

The march to the playoffs begins. Look for renewed effectiveness from 82-22-12 now that they get easier matchups.

Jack with Kane.

 

Insane!

 

Sad.

Jack with Kane.

 

Insane!

 

Sad.

That line had a nice stretch last spring. It's not the worst thing in the world, but I hope it gets abandoned quickly if it's not working out.

[Doohicksie]

I hope it works out.

It's amazing how much better the lineup looks by just adding one guy. O'Reilly and Okposo up top shouldn't have to single-handedly carry the offense, and could benefit from a matchup standpoint. Second line looks potent, because you know Jack and Sam are going to pick up where they left off. Third line as it should be. Even the 4th line looks good for what it is.

 

The glaring problem is Moulson on the top line, but I am overlooking that for now. Get Kulikov back and I think we'll be ok.

 

Beyond pumped to see Jack's first game back.

!!! Wildcard, we were to slow :(

[qwksndmonster]

Jaaaaaaack! Jack! Jack! Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

 

Amazing GDT btw, Sprain.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Glad Jack is back.

 

It will probably be a few games until he is really back, but hey, so far so good.

 

The Sabres seem to play well against Ottawa this year and Jack will be an inspiration ... BIG WIN TONIGHT!!

 

GO SABRES!!

I had my finger over the post button, just waiting for 11:00 pm (midnight to the east coasters).

hehe :D maybe we can hijack urs ! ;)

Man. I hope Jack is fully healthy. I'm sure he wants to play tonight, and since he's declaring himself ready, I'll be surprised if he doesn't. I just don't want to see him re-injure himself coming back too quickly (not that it's felt that quick to me).

 

Here's to hoping this is the start of turning our season around!

[bob_sauve28]

Woo hoo! Go Sabres!

[beerme1]

It's a team sport and one guy doesn't make ateam.

 

 

Bullchit in our case! Jack coming back changes the whole dynamic of our team up front. Welcome backk Jack. Man have we missed you.

[LGR4GM]

Oh good, now we can score 2 goals a game.

Shout-out to that first Jack-is-floating observation in the GDT.

 

I'm betting we see such a post in this one (GDT).

[Brawndo]

Per DD, he will get around 18 mins tonight. Biggest change will be no PK for him initially

[WildCard]

Well, he shouldn't be near the damn PK anyways

 

DD also saying on WGR that he can coach how he wants to now, with a fast game instead of slow responsible hockey

WTH? Is Dan drunk?

Has Jack ever been on th PK?

[Brawndo]

In training camp he was working with the PK Units, and the plan was to have him out there prior to the injury

[Derrico]

I like the idea of Jack on the PK.  Threat of a shorty looms large.

[Eleven]

I hope he plays tonight.  And I hope he's READY to play tonight.
