This is who Eichel has to deal with on his line, and people wonder why Eichel is "struggling"

Remember 4 years ago when Buffalo's rebuild was so far ahead?Thank god Buffalo has the superior player in Eichel, just imagine how much worse they would be with Matthews : D
Oh I recall. That's why it was a slam dunk Babcock would go there.Remember 4 years ago when Buffalo's rebuild was so far ahead?
I 'member.
Ah so mad. Hurts to hear the truth about your team eh?

Jeff Skinner scored 37 goals two years prior in 3 less games played with Victor Rask as his center. So, is Eichel the difference of 3 goals due to Rask (He actually had 27 goals at 5v5 in both situations)?Everything that Matthews gets credit for becoming is what Eichel gas been. Matthews without his shot is a worse player than Eichel, which isn't to knock Matthews at all because he's got the best wrister in hockey right now.
Eichel gets underrated. If Eichel had team support he'd be top 5 players in the league. There's a reason Skinner hit 40 (bad example I know), and Reinhart had a 65 pt season. Eichel turn mediocre into magic. Few players have that ability.
If their shots were equal, Eichel would be the better player easily.
Might have something to do with the fact that the word going around is he has a shoulder injury that will require surgery that he is trying to gut out until the season ends. If you watch the games it's obvious he is trying to avoid contact and his skating is nowhere near his usual level.Thank god Buffalo has the superior player in Eichel, just imagine how much worse they would be with Matthews : D
How much? The quality of one player is almost insignifiant in a team game.Thank god Buffalo has the superior player in Eichel, just imagine how much worse they would be with Matthews : D
Put Matthews in Buffalo and they are in the same position they have been for the past 5 years.Thank god Buffalo has the superior player in Eichel, just imagine how much worse they would be with Matthews : D
Not a Sabres fan, doubt they actually exist. I've been mocking then for a good number of years.
The post I replied to said something about Matthews being a complete player, my reply makes sense in that context not in the stripped context you are using. Eichel is the better all-round player (injuries this year excluded). Matthews took his game to another level and has an asset Eichel doesn't. Before this year I'd have said that Matthews shot wasn't enough to overcome the gap in the rest of their games, now I'm not so sure. Eichel has assets Matthews doesn't have for sure, Eichel makes mediocre players look amazing in a way the Matthews just doesn't (which isn't a knock on Matthews, he's got the best finish in the league right so he doesn't need to be that type of player).
If Eichel played with a 100pt linemate, he'd be recognized as a top 5 centre in the league for sure.
Put Matthews in Buffalo and they are in the same position they have been for the past 5 years.
More like Leafs posters are the most numerous on HFboards and won't stop invading main board threads that have nothing to do with the Leafs or Matthews and turn it into a Leafs/Matthews thread. Doesn't matter the subject, every thread on the main boards turns into a Matthews/Leafs thread. You guys are obnoxious.every thread turns into a talk about Matthews.
HF has a perverted obsession with Mr Mustache.
I feel like Skinner is the only one of the three they really need to worry about and the sample is small. Too soon to worry about Eichel and Hall.
