His goalie cost him the national college title too with an all time gaffe lol I bet you he never he got over that, until yesterday

Absurd. It’s as much to do with Jack as any other one player on that team, and more than most. They said as much themselves. The fact they had several crucial players is exactly the point. That’s the only way to build a Cup winner. No player does it without a stacked team. Not a one. ”Well I’m not sure he was even all that important”. None of this stuff would ever enter the conversation for any other Cup winning team’s 1C. He’s their 1C! And led the playoffs in scoring, WITH dominant defense. Wayne Gretzky said he was the rightful Smythe winner for jeepers sakes. I think Wayne knows Puck.

If THAT’s the victory, it illustrates how significant the “L” was.

Can’t see it on my phone sorry

At least we got a happy ending

https://thehockeynews.com/.amp/news/point-men-the-active-and-all-time-scoring-leaders-for-all-31-nhl-teams ”scoring” is commonly used to refer to points. There’s a quick example ^

Scoring. Points scoring ya. 26, led the playoffs

“He definitely helped” he *led the playoffs in scoring* as their 200 ft 1C assisting on 9 of the Smythe winner’s 13 goals Ya, I’d say he helped

Im glad he led the playoffs in points to make up for it

Better team by far won. Happy for Jack

Eichel leads the 2022-23 Stanley cup playoffs in Points

From what Friedman said (he has a vote) the voters are down to a choice between Marchessault and Eichel for Smythe so I expect them to be 1/2 if Vegas holds on. Probably Marchessault first given how they were speaking Gretzky picked Eichel fwiw lol

At the risk of jinxing it

The final payment

Eichel might have won the Smythe with that shift

Another key assist from Eichel

Florida definitely still has a *chance*. It’s hockey. So much random. Key is preventing Vegas from that magical 3 goal number (undefeated) Exactly

50!

Is this for me or the perception at large I mentioned? - - - Regardless, on an unrelated note, Eichel has as much a claim on being the Knights’ best player as anyone. The fact that there’s a few guys in contention is exactly the point: any contending team has and needs exactly that. And he’s as much a part of their room as anyone, if anyone cares to listen to what Cassidy and the Knights players actually are saying.

That happens to every team. We just had it happen less And our lack of D depth more exposed

They really have no business blaming anything on “injuries” when we were among the least injured teams in the league this last season. It’s not an area likely to find improvement, in fact it’s likely to regress. They absolutely shouldn’t be counting on that avenue for any improvement they are seeking

I agree with this tbh. He wasn’t very good in my estimation

The perception will be out there regardless that Adams and the Sabres were wrong about Eichel’s injury treatment, but other than that, I agree

plus minus standing of vegas’ 4 lines Eichel Marchessault Barbashev +41 Stephenson Stone Howden +7 Karlsson Amadio Smith +22 Roy Carrier Kolesar +3 and this that on ice goal differential 👀👀👀
