I’m not sure what happened or clicked with Jack but his interviews and on ice mannerisms have been night and day recently. Maybe it’s just coming with age, but it’s awesome to see.
Probably a combination of Krueger's methods and Jack maturing.

Think it is time that Jack becomes a regular PKer, given how much he has improved in the defensive zone this year
Plus, he'd likely be good for a few shorties as well
Jack is reminding me more and more of Gil P. Just a dominant skater having his way. Except I have not seen one slapshot out of Jack, yet.
His effort on the tying goal vs Isles reminded me so much of Lafontaine.Eichel is taking over the league right now. I honestly haven't seen a Sabre play like he has since the lafontaine/mogilny era. It really is something special to watch.

The C could have helped him get over the hump. For years I would think to myself, "c'mon Jack just take over the game. We need you now." We all knew he it in him.Probably a combination of Krueger's methods and Jack maturing.
Samson was clearly hurt about Jack saying Bogo was his BFF.
After his fight in Minny, they played a close game with boston and have since gotten points in 9 of 11
Bumpgate 2.0I know you’re kidding, but there are some people who are going to take that seriously. That’s totally a friend busting on another friend publicly.
TORONTO – If the Buffalo Sabres finally put an end to the longest playoff drought in the National Hockey League, it will be because Jack Eichel threw the franchise on his back and tugged it across the finish line.
Sure, it’s a Herculean task, one quietly being picked away at under the twin shadows of the Super Bowl–aspiring Buffalo Bills in town and the headline-hording Toronto Maple Leafs down the QEW.
But if any one hockey player can lead the Sabres out of the doldrums, it is this matured, team-first, 200-foot threat we’ll dub Jack Eichel 5.0, the hottest player in hockey.
Four seasons of chronic losing can break a man. Or make one.
Jack is a pleasure to watch this year, he was very good last year also. But this year his 2 way game is so much better. The Sabres have a bit more talent this year to surround him. But are still not there. I really hope he gets to play with a deeper line up one day. Botterill needs to find him some more support. I sort of feel for Jack, he is doing all he can out there, someone else needs to step up to help him.
High praise for Eichel from the Toronto media.
