This thread.......

"is pathetic!!!"

Is that what you were going to say? If yes, I agree.

McDavid is a far superior player Eichel is north south with a great shot . McDavid can do it all .

Yeah far superior lol. Mcdavid is extremely talented and the slightly better player but you people are too much sometimes. If Mcdavid's a 110 point player eichels a 100 point player

Im just trying to keep the false knowledge to a minimum

My opinion has been watching them both in all games this season. Sorry McDavid is on another level way better agility handling the puck and most important hockey IQ. Eichel might close the gap but I see generational compared to a star.

Eichel is a lot more than just a north south player with a great shot lol.

Not from what I have seen so far this season he also has a hard time handling the puck at times as well.

You should watch closer. Literally nobody shares your opinion.

I'd think what we see from Eichel is all you can ask for from an 18YO. Couple bounces will go his way and these comments will largely stop. Same thing happened with McDavid.

Threads like "did the hockey gods bless BUF by having Eichel slip to #2" were laughable to say the least, though. McD has mostly silenced that. I knew McDavid was special but his last 2-3 games have been very impressive. Didn't think he'd be quite so good of a forechecker right off the hop. Already leading the team in scoring, didn't think that would happen by game 5.

Maybe people are blinded by homerisim

No. They have just watched him play a lot more hockey than you, or have a better eye for talent. Probably both.

Eichel with two points in six games.

Would Buffalo be better served by sending him down for a year?
Am I doing this right?

Eichel looked almost perfect tonight. If he'd had gotten on the scoreboard, he would've had an all-round impact on the game.

I maintain my viewpoint that Eichel has the potential to be a perfect NHL player. The complete total package with every attribute he possesses being elite. Unfortunately in this comparison, McDavid goes beyond being the perfect player. He has almost otherworldly speed and talent and can takeover a game at a level that's almost unheard of by todays standards.

Both are exceptional in their own way, but there is no way you can bet against McDavid in this situation even if he does play on the Loliers.

Waiting for the following comments as the year goes on...

1) Did you even watch his games...

Have you watched their games?

Wew Hew!!! That did not take long.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

So much over the top bravado for both these guys.

So many people have predicted such huge things for these kids, if/when they don't materialize, they are going to get defensive - I see it already. This thread is going to get ugly. Why can't people just take a wait and see attitude?

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Got to admit, he has been good this period and that was a nice goal.

 

[5 14 6 1]

McDavid with an absolute beauty

Kid has been a monster since the Calgary game.

 

[FDBluth]

McDavid is so ****ing good. Wow.

 

[TimeZone]

After watching Eichel against the Leafs this evening and now watching McDavid against the Wings.

There appears to be a pretty clear gap between the players.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

That goal omg

 

[MardyBum]

He should've had an assist just a few minutes earlier if . . Letestu? didn't hit the side of the net.

Two Wings tried to trap him in his own corner, threw it out of the zone backhand at a player, charged him and stole it before he could get possession and set up half open net pass that Letestu (i think) missed.

Just filthy.

 

[Nugey McNugeson]

Holy Mcjesus

Connor McDavid is just filthy. So special lol.

Were we watching the same game? I fully expect Eichel to be a superstar, and his talent level is undeniable, but he didn't play particularly well tonight in my opinion. He was okay, I guess, but he was far from perfect. He's capable of playing much better than he played tonight, and has done so on multiple occasions this season.
