LOL at Gudas sucker-punching Giroux in the Canada-Cech game. First time I've ever liked him.

I was just about to come here to write, almost verbatim, what you did. One of the most amusing things I've seen all week.

Eichel had 10 shots and his line generated 22 total. Sucks that none went in, but that's a pretty great stat line.

Don't look at the stat line, look at the game.  Germany didn't let too many shots from anywhere important.

I couldn't have watched today anyway, but I don't have NHL Network :(

Anyone think they start Hellebuyck next game or stick with Howard?

I would start Helly.  Howard didn't look great at all, and I'd let Helly get his feet wet against Denmark.

I'm hoping Gus gets some confidence playing here and finds another gear.

He's still young enough to turn into a solid bottom six player for the Sabres. The flip side is a good showing could appeal to another team wanting to make a deal.

[I-90 W]

Anyone else notice team Canada has ROR at rw.. lol. Now if only the Sabres can do the same!

[SwampD]

Man, Eichel is just so strong on the power play.

I love Sunday morning hockey.

This is only a two game suspension.  We think the NHL has problems?  IIHF apparently is much, much worse.

That, it could well be argued, is a felony.

Nice gesture by Bellemare of France declining the Player of the game award and giving it to his goalie.

Guy stopped 42 shots vs Finland.

Jack Eichel with a primary assist after Clayton Keller shoots in a Jack Eichel rebound. Game tied 1-1

3-2 Sweden now, but a very good game.

And then Jack helped make it 3-3.

Really nice unselfish pass to Gaudreau, who put it in.

Nice. Thanks

[LGR4GM]

What happened?

Jack backhand pass to Gaudreau

[Thorner]

This is what happens when Eichel gets paired with some guys who can finish. Playmaking machine.

 

Sick vision on the set up to Trouba sneaking in near the goal there. But he missed the net.

Gaudreau or a Drouin on a line with Jack would be filthy. Good thing we have Nylander in the wings

Also another reason why we should keep #8 this year and even if Makar and Heiskanen are gone we can get a really good winger.

Yup.

 

Eichel is just an incredibly fun player to watch. Underplayed card on why the tank was worth it.

[Eleven]

NHLN giving Eichel high praise.
