Connor McDavid vs Jack Eichel - Round V

[Mattilaus]

very true.

a lot of the Eichel supporters, not necessary sabres fans, but the ones that was just Eichel >>>>> McDavid (probably because they are americans) ones have since stopped replying for a while now.

I think now that he is out, you are right. this thread will kind of die down, will be a little easier for them to just drop by, and there won't be much here anyways i hope, It be kinda stupid to brag about Jack at this point since Connor is hurt.

First, nobody said Eichel >>>>> McDavid

Second, Eichel fans stopped responding because there was no meaningful discussion to be had. We posted goal videos only to be told how bad the D were on that play. We posted near assists only to be told the pass should have been better. We posted dangles only to be told they mean nothing without the finish. We posted stats only to be told those stats mean nothing. And you wonder why they stopped posting.

3-4 month return. Bad fracture. Eichel has some time to catch up.

And when a neutral fan comes to this thread and says something good about Eichel without even comparing him to McDavid, he got attacked and questioned whether he is really neutral.

Or when others post a link to an analysis article, people would just call it cherry picking stats without even read it but use 5-3 to question the analysis when the article clearly says it only include even strength stats.

 

[Sabre the Win]

The pressure to keep pace with McDavid, stats wise. Now Eichel won't have to deal with the constant game-by-game comparisons to McDavid and hopefully that will loosen him up a bit.

I honestly don't think this situation really crosses Eichel nor McDavid's mind. The only pressure here is what the fans make between them on this forum. I haven't seen media compare them except for Sportsnet sports chart which McDavid supporters would ignore and say look at the "points".

All the same posters you see discrediting Eichel constantly are actually the same ones who commented on the polls board that they would take Mackinnon over Eichel today.

It's clear now that they just don't like him. No sense in trying to reason with the haterz anymore brah

Yeah, I am here to talk hockey. This thread has so many childish anti-Eichel people that there is no point.

Anyone that watches Eichel and doesn't see the talent is trying too hard.

To be honest that isn't an absurd correlation, if your not high on Eichel it makes sense to take Mackinnon over him, both have ridiculous talent and a respectable argument can be made for either.

Maybe the reason they take Mackinnon over Eichel is because they genuinely believe he is better. That doesn't mean they don't like Eichel.

I just find it ironic that the 3 that come here and usually say the more negative things all voted Mackinnon

He's a great player no doubt about it but the voting was 120-48 at the time in Eichel's favor

Jack Eichel is so skilled? Do you guys think he might be the best american prospect ever?

 

[LongWayDown37]

For the love of god. If there is one good thing that can come out of McDavid's injury, please let it be that this thread finally fades into oblivion.

Top 10 worst thread in HF history.

Wants thread to die. Contributes to it staying at the top of the board by posting in it.

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Has Eichel surpassed McDavid in points yet?

 

[McRpro]

Has Eichel surpassed McDavid in points yet?

No.

Also, there's no way Eichel would be healing as fast as McDavid if he was the one hurt!

(I figured I better add this)

 

[Aceonfire*]

Has Eichel surpassed McDavid in points yet?

Maybe by December.

For a "generational" talent he only has 9 points in 18 games. He was -2 tonight and pointless in his last 3 games.

Hell, Tobias Rieder has more points in the same amount of games.

 

[Woll Smoth]

Does Eichel catch McDavid before he returns from his injury?

 

[Havok89]

Jack Eichel looking like the Oilers rebuild.

So far his pattern has been a streaky one. Hot then cold.

Yup total tire fire. At least the Oilers dodged that bullet.

Jack Eichel. Tire fire, you heard it here folks. Less than 20 games in and we declare a train wreck. Oilers are feeling good right now!

18 games in and apparently Buffalo's rebuild is over. 2 games in and apparently Eichel was >>McDavid.

It always goes both ways.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

I actually thought Eichel would be better this season than McDavid. Looks like I was wrong

I do still strongly believe he's an amazing talent. I think he will end up like prime Getzlaf.

He is a boy on a mission.

The points might not be coming like we thought they would for Eichel but he's still scoring at a 27 goal pace. Nothing to complain about there.

I bet he has a 30-30 season. A lot of times players of that skill level will have a stretch where they put up 10 points in 5 games and inflate their totals a little. I bet he has one of those.

Eichel has had the misfortune of getting Ennis recently. Ennis has really been struggling and loses the puck constantly. Evander Kane will be back in a game or so and I expect Kane and Eichel to be together again.
