Pokey Jones Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Yup. McDavid was getting manhandled and pretty frustrated with Dorsett tonight. There's your other difference. If you want McDavid to be Manning, Eichel isn't Leaf, he's more Favre or Roethlisberger (without the rapey stuff hopefully). If we ever build a team around him good enough to get to the final while Eichel is still in his prime and we play Edmonton, I guarantee you at that time head to head Eichel will make McDavid his bitch. My feeling right now is that Matthews might be the best complete player of all 3. Quote

JackRyanLeafEichel Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 This franchise will never recover from not paying up for Babcock. Quote
WildCard Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Tend to agree. Babcock has single handedly ruined an franchise that's been here for nearly 50 years Quote
Georgia Blizzard Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 This franchise will never recover from not paying up for Babcock. You are a TROLL Quote
LTS Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Trolls love an audience... If you ignore it, it doesn't exist. Quote
Eleven Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Trolls love an audience... If you ignore it, it doesn't exist. Exactly. The ignore feature is perfect for people like the poster you are referencing. Edited October 8, 2017 by Eleven Quote
Georgia Blizzard Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Trolls love an audience... If you ignore it, it doesn't exist. Agree The guy probably spent all of the tank year ranting and raving about needing to lose to get Eichel, probably bought his Eichel jersey the day they went on sale, he even wears it to local bar; then when there is any sign of trouble, he starts crapping on the guy, the team, the coach and the organization. Go back in your hole. Quote
Stoner Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Is no one else concerned that the new head coach doesn't think the guy is good at the goal-scoring thing? Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Is no one else concerned that the new head coach doesn't think the guy is good at the goal-scoring thing?What exactly are you referring to? Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Pokey, is your avatar a burned-out 55-year-old Jake McCabe? lol - good one. A burned out (close to) 55 year old is kind of what I am actually. Being a Sabres fan doesn't help. Quote
carpandean Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 What exactly are you referring to? Shootouts. Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Coach goes with who he thinks has the hot hand or is the best against that goalie. Wait for more games before deciding if this is true or not. Quote
carpandean Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Over the last three seasons: Pominville: 7 of 9 (78%) Josefson: 10 of 18 (56%) Reinhart: 3 of 8 (38%) Eichel: 1 of 9 (11%) Look at the list of top shootout performers; it's not exactly a list of powerhouse offensive performers. Quote

Pommer ranked 19 in goals with Vanek... Cindy and Ovi near top Oshie up there Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 lol - good one. A burned out (close to) 55 year old is kind of what I am actually. Being a Sabres fan doesn't help. FYI, as of today, I am a burned out 55-year-old. I think it's obvious that Eichel is pulling a Drew Stafford. Big paycheck and now he coasts. Quote
SwampD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 FYI, as of today, I am a burned out 55-year-old. I think it's obvious that Eichel is pulling a Drew Stafford. Big paycheck and now he coasts. Is that because you were already burned out and turned 55 today, or because you were already 55 and something burned you out today? If the former, Happy Birthday!

Doohicksie Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Is that because you were already burned out and turned 55 today, or because you were already 55 and something burned you out today? If the former, Happy Birthday! Thank you. What are your views on my Eichel - Staff comparison? Quote
Sabel79 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Thank you. What are your views on my Eichel - Staff comparison? Not speaking for Swamp, but my view is that it's bad you should stop it. :rolleyes: Oh, and Happy birthday. Quote
SwampD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Thank you. What are your views on my Eichel - Staff comparison? Not going to happen. I don't even think Drew coasted. He just was what he was but happen to have one great year in 1 particular contract year (he had other contract years). I know we're all butthurt because some of the other stars had these crazy multi goal games to start the season, but Jack is already more than a point per game player so far this season. I think h(w)e'll be fine. Quote

Jacque Richard Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 This franchise will never recover from not paying up for Babcock. he knew something Quote
Doohicksie Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 I'm not butthurt, I'm just trolling. :P Okay, now I'm butthurt. :unsure: Quote
SwampD Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Okay, now I'm butthurt. :unsure:Now that's funny. Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 I don't think Eichel is pulling a Stafford, but he will coast when he feels its a lost cause. The quitting/excuse attitude runs deep on this team and needs to be purged. Quote
