PromoTheRobot Posted March 4, 2022 Report Posted March 4, 2022 Jack Eichel finally did something Eichelly.
Thorner Posted March 4, 2022 Report Posted March 4, 2022 Nifty burst but he got a bit lucky on the finish as it looks like he loses control. Regardless, he’s got 5 points in 7, and is a plus player for those who care about that - he’s been good, especially for a guy coming back from surgery.

It's not just a national capital; it is a national capital that is about as high-profile as it gets. Paris and London are in that category, and not too many other cities. I headed down there last Sunday. If you didn't know better, you could think that you were in downtown Kiev given the number of parades down Connecticut Avenue and demonstrators everywhere. It was truly wonderful to see all that blue and gold everywhere--those Ukrainians do love their Sabres! Seriously, though, a lot of people on the Internet are jumping to a conclusion that this is being done just to mollify Ovechkin. And maybe it is. Or maybe it is about not having the Verizon Center turn into a massive demonstration. Or maybe it's a hoax. It hasn't been confirmed, outside of the same photo flying around the world, as far as I can tell.

After all, there are Russian players throughout the league. Some of them super stars like OV.

And it can get more confusing--is it Myanmar or Burma? England says the latter, we are on the former, the country, which probably wasn't even one until European powers started drawing lines, is divided.
