Andy Roddick tweeted this is one of the best matches he's ever seen (and that was during the 3rd set breaker). Vamos Rafa!

I wish the franchise and the fanbase would have realized this 10 years ago #stillmadaboutthetank

This would be poor risk management by the Sabres. If the surgery is not successful (including complications due to the nature of playing a high-impact sport), the NMC is the least of there worries.

I'll stipulate: in a Sabres jersey

This may just be me being a homer, and I'm sure others have said/thought this, but I think Eichel's game will translate better to the playoffs than McD's

Yeah, I only watched last night, and I'm just curious what's kept them from "breaking through." Do you think they just need to tweak things?

He was on a line with Draisaitl all night, but your point is taken.

Is McDavid regularly neutralized in the playoffs by teams that play heavy? That's what last night looked like.

Yeah we're real good at doing that

The piece says Eichel still wants surgery, and the Sabres may not approve. If you're inferring they won't approve because they prefer one type of surgery over another, with respect, that's quite a leap. The only place I see the other type of surgery mentioned is in the Johns Hopkins description of the new technique, compared to the old one.

Not sure if he has the ability to override the physician, but he does have the power to hire a physician who agrees with his preferred course of action.

?Can you please point to where you found this information?

I hope you are never my boss!

Yeah. Maybe to the tune of $50 million But according to @kas23, that's irrelevant.

I was thinking (hoping?) that, as well. Also was of the same mind with @nfreeman's comments about getting the right people in the FO to make our best players feel better about staying. #optimisticsomehow

When faced with a possibly career-ending, life-altering injury, those people would be called stupid

I just like the way he plays hockey

If he goes to the Rangers, I may show up to cheer for him at MSG

Yeah, I remember seeing that live when it happened.

the humanity!!!!!

My question is: is the culprit TP or KA?

Take those teams with Drury, replace him with Eichel, and you have a cup

Yeah, I think people are forgetting watching a healthy Jack, and how, when he has the puck in the offensive zone, he just skates around and toys with the other team. They simply cannot take the puck from him. They just try to take all passing lanes away from him and keep him to the perimeter. Oh yeah, and they usually double team him. Oh yeah, and they still can't take the puck away from him.

Maybe we should lose on purpose? I bet that could be a good strategy! 😜

Hey, we had our #2 center all along. Guess who always knew this? Among a few others here...
