That tightness was evident during the post game tribute to Anderson. Terrific highlight video that included a congrats from his parents and you could see how touched Anderson was and every one of his teammates stayed out there in the moment. Good stuff to witness up close. 1 1

Second Line Center Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 To all of us that were saying for 2 plus years he needs to get traded he's at the heart of that core that continues to lose no matter the coach and yes chemistry is real it matters.....take a bow. It's our night to shine. Thanks Jack. He is never going to lead a team to a Cup. 2

Curt Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 1 hour ago, PromoTheRobot said: 1 hour ago, That Aud Smell said: People are going to defend him by saying that it was right after a tough, emotional loss, and that it must be hard to go out and be booed. I agree, but it is in difficult situations where people show you who they really are. Eichel is a great player and on a good team, he can be an important piece, I have no doubt. But he is kind of bratty, I don’t think he is much of a leader, and if Vegas is expecting that Eichel will put them on his back and pull them out of struggling I’m afraid that they may be disappointed. 3

inkman Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 Having Jack as the heel is kinda awesome but his post game comments don’t mean much to me. Dude has been through a lot. It was emotional for him. I mean I don’t like him but I understand his behavior. 2
thewookie1 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 Good God did that feel good. Poetic justice to see Tuch steal the puck from EIchel to ice the game. I will always be intrigued by how Eichel can be such an ass and yet still seem to be very good with kids. Perhaps its because they worship him? 2

Sincerely, though, eff Eichel. I've rubbed elbows with him enough to know he's a grade-A doosh.

He's rich. Other than a neck injury that's apparently already behind him (I've seen much worse in many family members), he's still healthy, young, and living a dream. Let's not expend empathy for this particular, permed prince that we wouldn't extend to so many other human beings who have it much rougher. He's an arrogant arse. Doesn't make him a criminal, but it does make him hate-able. 5

Randall Flagg Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 1 minute ago, K-9 said: I listened to Rivet for hundreds of hours during Jack's career and he never once mentioned that he had a problem with Eichel's interviews lol. Rivet regularly glowed about Jack, including his presence in the locker room, on the insitgators as recently as 2021. I get there being catharsis from the way this game played out, but I always feel uneasy when Sabres fans get into moods like this, especially when the team is still just as bad as ever. It was a feel-good moment that feels dirtier and uglier the more people tweet about it, but ultimately it was also another meaningless moment in a meaningless season Krebs was honestly horrendous outside of the goal unfortunately. The top line got gummed up, but seemed to play it evenly the other way. Hinostroza is a guy that the Sabres rarely hit on for the bottom 6. If the Sabres are really different this time, he will stick around for next year's fourth line and they won't have any anchors there. If it's more of the same, he will be elsewhere and we will still ice a bottom 10 line in the entire NHL Great game from Anderson, the perfect game to get win 300 on, rock solid. 1

That's a fair point. Do the Sabres keep their thumbs on WGR hosts that strongly? I've definitely not heard anything to that degree about the Bills before. But I also wouldn't be surprised if Craig is just being reactionary and going with the flow

The Sabres own the show, not the radio station. Same with One Bills Live. I'm not sure of the financials behind it though. Edited March 11, 2022 by JoeSchmoe 1
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) What a wonderful game. Krebs/Tuch 2 - Eichel 0. 😀 Congrats to Anderson! Edited March 11, 2022 by GASabresIUFAN 1
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 11, 2022 Report Posted March 11, 2022 Could this be the game we point to as the game this team actually turned the corner and learned how to win? 1

They're a much better, faster team with him in the lineup. Really hope they don't trade him. Edited March 11, 2022 by pi2000 5
