It’s not all his fault, and he’s a decent goalie otherwise, but he’s literally beat on every attempt. It’s unreal
- sbroads24

You're right. He moves like a sack of poop and gets beat on every single shot. Most of the shooters blow it off the post or wide/high.

He's atrocious.

No, it's the start of year 3. Not just a one game sample size.

I have yet to see him absolutely take over a game.

You haven't been watching.

In before: u r over reacting

I'm so damn sick of excuses.

Don’t worry...
we will go 81-1

Don’t worry...
we will go 81-0-1

U made a lot of points,
not just the Eichel one

Also, he’s really, really good
Idk wtf you’re talking about?

How many guys “take over” games?
What does that even mean?
It’s subjectively ridiculous
- jdfitz77

They're called franchise players. McJesus, Crosby, Ovechkin, Malkin, Karlsson, Stamkos, Benn, Kane, Toews, etc...

Can't believe that was an actual question. You literally just paid a guy 10 million per/year to do this and he has yet to do it even once.

Trade him

Just cheer for a team with a true franchise player then

Don’t let the door hit ya...

ok
- BeadyEyedDouche

Seriously, you haven't if you think he's never taken over a game.

What game?

What game?

The Detroit game, the Hurricanes game, that Boston game. Can't remember the dates but I remember the games.

Oh shut the (frank) up

God forbid someone criticize his favorite team?

You criticize that which you love. I'm tired of making up excuses and being complacent with mediocrity.

I cheer for a team that in 50 years hasn't done poop. That's just a fact. It doesn't help that other team hasn't done poop in going on 70 years.

Seriously, you haven't if you think he's never taken over a game.

Eichel is overrated
Trade him ASAP!

Plus he’s overpaid
Not worth a dime over 9.9mil per

Dude...
there’s 81 more games

If u don’t see that you’re overreacting,
then idk what else to tell ya

We didn’t play bad
We lost a close game
It’s not the end of the world!

- chilliard77

No, I mean, literally take a game over. Like, in a close game, where you just shut everyone up and end it. By dominating.

A 4 point night gifted by the NHL in your home town, with at least 1 of those points an empty-netter, a flimsy 5-hole goal off a maniacal hail-mary type of pass with 2 seconds left in OT, and milking the teets of a Detroit team going nowhere do not qualify as 'dominating' or taking a game over.

Dude, we've sucked for over 5 seasons now and tonight was just another vanilla soft-serve.

I am not over-reacting. I'm calling it like it is until I see different. And tonight, I didn't see 'different'.

Where you were drafted and two straight 60 point seasons does not warrant a 10,000,000.00 per year contract.

Draisaitl? McDavid? Yeah, those contracts were earned.

Sorry not sorry, but Eichel didn't earn his contract yet.

I think we saw a very much improved team tonight. The result was just the same which was unfortunate

If Eichel had played all of last season, there would be no question if he was worth the deal

Yeah, the Boston game around Christmas his first year, they were down by 2 halfway through the 3rd and ended up winning by 3 on the shoulders of Eichel's 4 point game. But you're right, let's take away a point. So 3 points. So pedestrian.

Pick any one of his 3 point games last year. Pick any game where he sets up 5 or 6 golden chances that don't get buried. That's not on him.

as a 20 year old, the kid was 12th in the NHL for ppg on a sh!tty team with a bum leg



your move

- chilliard77

Nope, we suck

Season is already over

Just trade Eichel
He didn’t dominate tonight,
so he’s gotta go

If Eichel had played all of last season WITH 2 HEALTHY LEGS, there would be no question if he was worth the deal

Even on his bum legged pace he would have been almost ppg
