Jack Eichel is a

He played one year at BU (2014-15) and got them to the championship game which Providence won. He chose BU over the CHL as being from Massachusetts his rights belonged to the QMJHL. Nobody at BU was really upset to see him go to Buffalo as he was a diva.

He SHOULD have played some games at AHL Henderson just to get his timing back and also learn the VGK system but management decided to play him in the NHL and points were squandered and it cost them dearly.

How VGK gets ready for next season will be fascinating.

Eichel is not the problem.......problem is the owner, Bill Foley.
Foley thought he could win a Cup in 5 years


YEAR 1 - Won 13 playoff games

YEAR 2 - This happened



YEAR 3 - COVID bubble hockey

YEAR 4 - THEY LOST TO MONTREAL

YEAR 5 - Heads are about to roll.....

Vegas have had their chances. 2019 they let that series slip against the Sharks when it was there for the taking. Had they won they should have posed stiff competition for the Blues and ultimately the Bruins if it came to it. 2021 was odd or unfortunate, depending on your point of view, in that the only 2 teams you felt could seriously challenge Tampa were the Avs and Knights, and they cancelled each other out - one lost their series and the other was so exhausted by it that they were then picked off by a so-so, opportunistic Habs.

But not to be and now they're in a very difficult situation. The fallout and what happens next will be interesting.

Firing Gallant for DeBoer was a

I have to figure DeBoer walks the plank and I can see Torts getting serious consideration.

Kids going to be nothing but trouble.

He seems like a chronic malcontent.

Hang this up in the Lourve. Perfect!

That helmet flying off is so comical!

After all the overhaul the Rangers went through in the summer because they couldn't get over Tom Wilson, it looks quite likely we will see a Rangers vs Capitals in the first round. And I bet Tom Wilson will still be living rent free in the Rangers' heads.

With the history from the 2018 SCF between Wilson\Reaves I
highly doubt this. Rangers have any brains at all they send out Reaves very early in G1 after Wilson.

I like being in the metro bracket. I even wonder if Tampa wouldn't mind trading places with us. I know we had some bad games vs Carolina, but we've not faced them with this lineup. My body is ready.

Securing the title of shittiest team in the league is a huge honour.

 

[ODAAT]

lol.

The guy who refuses to PK and gets scored on more than almost any forward is committed to defense. ok.

You've been reading too much of the homer 'analysis' at The Athletic. The guy chases the puck and cheats constantly, that's why the puck is always in his net.

Please, I`m way too cheap to pay for the Athletic and I don`t require or simply read something and then immediately base my feelings on a player/team/coach based solely on those articles. Nowhere did I say he should be considered a Selke finalist, I simply said over the years he has clearly put more of a commitment into being stronger defensively, nobody will mistake him for Doug Jarvis in his own zone.

They've got Goodrow as well. He's not afraid of mixing it up..

Troua has had some nasty hits as well this year, so I doubt NYR are
going to be intimidated by Washington IF they play them as it still could be Pittsburgh in R1.

The one guy who was made to be a Bruin, Brady Tkachuk speaks highly of the them.

Its a great matchup for sure, but the Rangers hang up last year wasn't Willson as much as the league's non-response to Wilson. Thought they handled him and the Caps pretty well afterward when they realized it was up to them, also think Washington's in trouble in this series.

The Montreal Canadiens are the first team in NHL history to finish in 32nd place, nice to see them still setting records.

Wilson will ignore him and keep hitting .Wilson knows it's a bad tradeoff I am sure .
