Not the fact the two players traded for Jack scored? Not that Tuch scored off an Eichel turnover? Not that Eichel got blanked? It all mattered. Then add the comments. After all the choreography to make Jack look like the victim of the Sabres, he put a match to it.

People compare Eichel to Josh Allen. The difference between the two is Allen was doubted his entire life and had to fight to get to where he is now. Jack Eichel was the golden child, the special case, always on elite teams, surrounded with the best cast. So being the guy with the pressure to lift a moribund franchise was too much for him. He didn't know how to respond because he was never in that situation. And maybe his character didn't lend itself to being the guy to lead. And that's not a knock. That's just being human.

The Sabres needed last night to happen that way. Sabres win, players from the trade score, Eichel neutralized. But Jack's comments were the icing on the cake. That will, hopefully, put the Eichel saga to bed going forward.

Rivet and Peters worked for PSE, not WGR. The Instigators and One Bills Live are PSE-produced shows. As for Rivet, here's what's funny. He was defending Jack fully on the pod that ran right before the game. Then he tweets that?? Talk about a one-eighty.

Poor choice of words. More like an unplanned podcast.

Andrew Peters said he and Craig Rivet were doing an emergency podcast tonight to discuss this topic. Will be up tomorrow I assume. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/after-the-whistle-with-andrew-peters-craig-rivet/id1590573108

They are tonight, baby. Did you not pick up the irony?

Reinhart had another unbelievable game tonight. I for one couldn't be happier for him.

Paul Hamilton postgame: Mike Harrington had to ask Knights PR to get Jack to come out of the locker to speak with reporters. Wow.

He spent the last two days chiding people who would boo. Turns out Sabres fans knew better. God, it felt great to see our fans stick up for their team!

Mike Harrington damage control. 🙄

Live look at VGK HQ.

I don't know. He's starting to find his touch. I'm tired of seeing former Sabres come into their own elsewhere.

Tomorrow?

He was always THE guy on elite teams. When he has to do the lifting he doesn't know how. You get that instead.

Let me know what they say about the post game comments. YouTube TV doesn't have NHLN.

Full comment. More douchbaggery.

I really doubt he said the second part. Did he really say all that?

Sorry. Had to delete to make an edit. Reposted.
