Is Eichel 'just floating around out there'?

Really? After a couple of games? Did I land in the Leafs forum?

Seriously. Let's calm it down a little bit. I honestly don't care what he does right now. I start caring when he's in a Sabres jersey next season when games matter.

Expecting cybersabre to pop in here with Eichel as an astronaut or some such

 

[Myllz]

Until he's drafted, technically yes.

 

[TehDoak]

In the scope of eternity, we're all floating around in the metaphysical ether aren't we?

 

[Beerz]

Christ.

 

[B U F F A L O]

Yes. We should draft Hanifin 2nd overall.

Yes.

HFBoards, ladies and gentlemen.

Watching Norway and I'm not seeing it. Why do you need to fling your arms and legs around when you're already going faster with 3 strides and a glide than everyone else? It's a stylistic thing, and it's a load of crap anyway.

I'm sure Ted Nolan likes his guys to have their limbs flailing while they're running around on the forecheck because it looks like compete.

This poll (and thread), of course, is meant to be tongue and cheek. After living through the NCAA championship and now the IIHF threads, I keep seeing posters who are experiencing his play for the first time observe 'he seems to be floating out there'.

Everyone brace yourselves.

Needs a after what we've seen in the IIHF threads

Could he move his feet more? Yes.

But, he is a far better skater then anyone else, it's always going to look like he is floating because how long and efficient his stride is.

Number one Canadian rule in the Canadian game of Canadian Hockey is to look as Canadian out there as you can by exerting a bunch of energy at all times. Be Canadianly engaged at all times, show some Canadian compete, bang some Canadian bodies around, drop the gloves and punch a guy... or three, compete, move those Canadian skates, active stick, compete, big body, chirp, drop another pair of Canadian gloves, COMPETE!!!

Also one key huge element to Canadian Hockey... act like it's still the 1970s and nothing progressive has happened in the last 40+ years. Hockey!

[Moskau]

bruh.

You wanna go? I'm a few months away from 30 but it's completely acceptable in my Hockey culture to ask someone if they want to go as if I was still in 7th grade. You wanna go? Keep chirpin.


Wanna go?

Bunch of Ted Nolan's out there wanting Eichel to compete in an IIHF tournament as hard as he should compete in Game 7 of the Cup Finals...

 

[TehDoak]

We all float down here jackie boy....

 

[UnleashRasmus]

What is the point of this thread?

watcha gonna do, when he's comin fer u

 

[Onslow]

Is this really a thing?

Why do people get so offended when someone is the slightest bit critical of our prospects? These players are great prospects, but they usually all have some major kinks in their games that they will need to sort out to be great in the NHL. McDavid is the one in a billion prospect who doesn't. Eichel's game does have some flaws. Reinhart's game has even more. It doesn't mean they won't overcome them or that it's even a concern. They are 18 and 19 year old kids. I just don't get why some people get bent out of shape for pointing out that they can improve in certain areas. And, yeah, if you want Eichel to be among the truly elite, he is going to have to figure out that he can't take breaks. So what?
