Huckleberry Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Pominville and Kane might both score 30 if they keep this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Is he okay!? Yep But I'm going to be nervous from now until I see Jack skating October 5th.

North Buffalo Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 It's a win... wooo hooo! And it's hockey!

Scottysabres Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 So Pommers was the missing link on an Eichel line? Who knew :D Didn't get a chance to listen to the game, where is Reinhart playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Jack's OT rush reminds me of Perreault, with the spectacular end to end rush, beating everybody. The only thing he didn't do was fake out the goalie. How quickly it turned into a 2 on 1. Jack just made a half circle and skated away from the first Penguins player from behind the Buf net as if he was nothing. If only Bert could explain how he did those moves, maybe Jack would understand and pick up some of the Perreault magic. But as Gilbert once said to Danny Gare, "I can't tell you how to do dem, I just do dem." But Eichel has magic of his own. Hopefully his legs hold up and he stays away from the type of dirty players who constantly want to hurt him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully his legs hold up and he stays away from the type of dirty players who constantly want to hurt him. Jack's magic is that ridiculously stupid shot. He shoots out of his end on a cannon... begins glide mode and then because his hands are so good he basically just flips the puck over the goalie to score. My take on it is that where almost every player is going to rip a hard wrister on something like that he's throwing the equivalent of a change up. The goalie expects the fast shot and the next thing you know there's this floater sailing by you because you reacted to something that was never there. Changing the direction/speed of the shot at the last second makes a big difference. Man that was beautiful.. And I will keep saying it.. Eichel's game is like Jagr's game.

LGR4GM Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't think it is the speed of the shot but the speed of the release. It is off the end of his stick before the goalie has time to process it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eichel scored a weird off-speed goal against TOR last year, I think. Off a screen, but still. And, of course, there is his famous OT winner. I don't think it is the speed of the shot but the speed of the release. It is off the end of his stick before the goalie has time to process it. Also a fair point.

Doohickie Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Jack has scored a few goals where, even on the replay, I don't pick up the shooting motion. It looks like he's still stickhandling and then all of a sudden it's in the net. I'm sure goalies are similarly surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woods-racer Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Third Goal https://twitter.com/matt_bove/status/910314473445056512 It's this goal that has me the most excited right now. A defense-man in front of the net on the rush. He backed the whole Pens team down low setting up the shot by the last skater entering the zone. Tell me the last time a Sabre team has done this? Edit, and puck control from end to end. Edited September 20, 2017 by Woods-Racer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
