Jack Eichel Presser on Monday 5-10-21

[miles]

I am really disappointed in the sabres. A back injury is not something that you mess around with. 

He should request a trade or just fet the surgery and see what happens

It's hard for me to find it comforting that this level of alienation and disenfranchisement was allowed to occur. 

Agree.  And I find the logic that this is somehow good baffling. The same people who brought this situation to this level are still calling the shots. Why does everyone think it will somehow turn out differently?

Anyone want to chip in for an aerial "SELL THE SABRES" banner to be flown over PSE HQ?

there's nothing comforting about this. Eichel, Reinhart, Risto and Ullmark want to leave  and we have an inexperienced GM and pretty much absentee owners in charge.

I don’t think we were ever gonna reach the playoffs with the team, the improvement after Ralph was fired doesn’t fool me for one minute.

We have to hit rock bottom at some point. And I think we just did. Logically that could be a good thing as incrementalism wasn’t going to help us in the long run. We need a complete overhaul and hopefully this will force the Pegula’s into making systematic changes with hockey operations, drafting, coaching, everything really. 

Performing this type of invasive surgery on oneself can be rather difficult

Just watched Jack's presser.

Don't know if the decision to not want Eichel to have the surgery was made by Adams or ownership (obviously after consulting w/ their own medical experts) but can't see Eichel ever trusting the individual(s) that are resisting him going that route moving forward.

There's a LOT of repair work that would be necessary to fix that relationship.  Doubt any of them have the ability to do it.

This emotion is inline with that felt on 7/1/7, the day Dom was dealt, & the day O'Reilly was dealt.

Honestly I just want TP to sell the team but I know that’s not happening.

My question is: is the culprit TP or KA?

Jack always spoke glowingly of the Pegs.  KA has gotten a GM fired, that GM’s coach fired, and TPegs consolation prize to tune out completely.  The people I know in Chicago with league ties think he is a weasel.  But that is neither here nor there. He is the architect of your new Buffalo Sabres.

we have finished last 4 of the past 8 years. How many times do we need to hit rock bottom?

Apparently it’s still not rock bottom if it keeps happening.

Would make perfect sense.

The jettison of all the rebuild players and starting over might be rock bottom. Or they screw up the trades, which is likely, and rock bottom is still elusive.

this sucks lol

It's pretty unusual for an NHL player, particularly a captain, to do this. To say the least. It will lead off sportscentre here I bet

 

Where is here? Canada?  Nobody in the states cares about hockey minus us losers. 

[Norcal]

Sounds like jacks being a huge dick. If I'm Pegs I dig in, he's got plenty of money and insurance.

***** nancy eichel, what an *****!

[LabattBlue]

Pretty comical that WGR Instigators had to sign off to move onto Bills talk. Do they believe that the fervor will calm down after 24 hours? 😂

[inkman]

Eichel is the girl running, Sabres fans are the guy on top, Pegulas are the guy on the bottom

Yes

[Kong]

This organization doesn't deserve to exist. It's too screwed up at the top and the decisions made, it was like they bought all the frosting in the world but had no cake to put it on.

And yes I never like Eichel anyway. The first time I saw him was the clip "coming to get you Buffalo" and he was underage drunk. First impression are important.

Sounds like KA is being the dick.  I think TPegs got taken by a con man.  Again.

[I-90 W]

Didn’t Jack mention something about being a husband and father? Are those thing even true or was he just speaking into the future? He was talking as if he is already.

As someone’s whose emotions have been stripped from my soul due to this orgs fecklessness, I find today a little too Schadenfreude.
