Not that nice
Won’t even be close to goal of the year

 

[ItWasJustified]

He's got incredibly fast wrists.

 

[Bondurant]

Still in the shadow of McDavid but that was a fine piece of skill.

 

[JoVel]

Whoever put that tweet up is definitely right. Buffalo does not deserve Eichel.

Wow, sort of reminded me of the Mcdavid goal last week. One of the better goals of the year.

In before "if you don't appreciate this goal and don't think it's the best goal ever you've never played hockey"

In seriousness it's a sick goal.

He's got incredibly fast wrists.

I believe the term is actually... hot wrists.

 

[Mobiandi]

That's an unreal goal. It'll go under the radar because it's Eichel though

 

[Dirty Dan]

that was slick

Crosby is back, malkin playing like the best, matthews hat trick, kessel has 3 points. great night as a fan

It was such an amazing goal I didn’t even realize it was a goal for a couple of seconds. I thought MAF made the save. Happy Eichel got such a great/sick goal.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

I'd like to buy some pixels, please.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Unreal goal, but Fleury played that really poorly, what the hell

 

[Sniper99]

Nice goal.

 

[HaNotsri]

Eichel was having a really bad game so he needed a moment of genius. Really like the shift from skating power move to chill chip shot.

 

[KCC]

Was okay. McDavid does that on a nightly basis but just has trouble finishing at times. lol

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Eichel's stride is deceptive, he makes it look so easy. This is the part where I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. The other players are skating furiously trying to catch up with the play, and Eichel just pulls away from them. McDavid is fast, and he looks fast. Where Eichel looks nonchalant but is still fast.

 

[foggyvisor]

"the Eichel tower on the rush"

No.

Yes. His skating is very deceptive in that way. He generates so much speed/power just from how he uses his edges that he doesn't need to take as many strides as other players do to reach/maintain top speed. It's great because all the energy he saves from skating that way allows him to take very long shifts when the team needs him to (late in the game leading or trailing by 1 goal, OT, PPs). Also because he can burn a lot of backskating D who don't think he's coming at them as fast as he really is.

I remember seeing better quality videos in 1996.

I remember seeing better quality videos in 1996.

I honestly can't even tell what happened.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Awful video quality, here ya go OP.

 

[LongWayDown37]

Just a correction to the byline. Buffalo absolutely deserves Jack Eichel. The Sabres incompetent organization, however is wasting away...

THIS GOAL KILLED GALLANT'S JOB
