I've watched Eichel's goal about 15 times. His strides are so long and so powerful...I knew he was fast but oh my god

He's deceptively fast too. He doesn't have to bury his head, so he can keep his head up and make plays like he did on the goal.
I remember watching like the last 7 or 8 minutes of the national championship game. And on one play BU carried the puck over the line, and all of a sudden this blur comes from way off screen moving way faster than everyone else, jumped up and created a chance. I marked that up to "well it's just college, we'll see if he's that fast when he gets to the pros; remember Reggie Bush? He was so much faster than everyone else in college, but when he got to the pros he was just another guy."
