The NHL Network is going to be showing the Otters/Greyhounds game at 7:30 if anyone is interested.

Game 6. Erie leads the series 3-2

Ironic to see Eichel and Arcobello on the same team, since the latter's strong play was one of the main reasons they won't be NHL teammates.

I'd like to see Baptiste. Thanks for the heads up.

How dumb. They didn't do that the other day. Heaven forbid we have some sort of consistency....

In their defense they had NHL playoffs during the day and the Kentucky Derby today.

Eichel looked good today. Made a lot of great passes his team mates didn't capitalize on.

I was just about to say how ordinary he has looked in the two games.

Both of those were on regular NBC. Anyone with any real interest in the tournament isn't really going to want to watch the tape delayed version of it. So they might as well have not showed it at all.

The first 4 hours of horse racing were on during the game on NBCSN

I'm enjoying watching it right now.

He's shown some inconsistent effort and a lack of discipline through the first two games.

There were certain moments where it was hard to tell whether he was being lazy or just making it look effortless. He had this one entry on the powerplay where he essentially walked in.

I get this terrible feeling that no matter what he ends up doing, there's going to be a good portion of the fans that don't think it's good enough.

It's exactly why I think it would be a terrible idea for Pat Kane to ever play here. We haven't even drafted the kid yet and people are picking apart his game. Because he's not McDavid, he's never going to be good enough in the eyes of many, many fans here. (this isn't directed at you, I'm just ranting).

Thanks for your thought-provoking, well-read response from up there in Hicksville, Canada.

As opposed to Hicksville America?

This is probably 100% true and you should save this post for future reference.

I have not watched either game, but looked at the box score for each. His stat lines for his game today greatly improved in every category over game one. Especially faceoffs.

Except points, but I am not going to nitpick.

The bar's been set pretty high, and the price paid to get him doesn't make it easier.

I am 100% guilty of nitpicking here but Im just as excited regardless. When the biggest negative takeaways from a kid playing against men are discipline and effort you've got a good one.

so the bills think they have the best QB's in the NFL yet the Saints draft a QB and the Rams draft a QB even after they get their franchise quarterback

and then you have to jets taking our quarterback and now the bills are going to make up some bull sh!t story saying they never wanted him..they should be drafting a QB every year now there's none left.. you are not going to win sh!t until you get a QB
- gerbe75pts

Ummmm you do realize this is a hockey board right? Just wondering if you are lost?

Since when do the Bills think they have the best QB's in the world? Lol do you even listen to yourself?They don't think that. Never have. The Bills never had weapons for Manuel so they'll give him one more year with added weapons.

Rams have a franchise QB? Foles is your franchise QB? Lol okie.

If you've been paying attention Brees is supposedly on the trade block.

Better than the game against finland but that probably has more to do with the quality of their opponent.

What are you talking about? The whole tournament Eichel's been great. Getting points isn't everything. He's playing against pros straight out of college. Give it some time for God sake.

Some Sabres Fans

"Oh no Eichel never got a hattrick in his first game, he's a bust."

Find me the part where i called him a bust or said he was bad.

Yeah, like the ones who make statements like 'Eichel's been great' when he hasn't. He has been ordinary. Which is not bad, when you consider he is playing with more seasoned players. He doesn't look out of place.
