Eichel showing up to camp and saying oh by the way, I'm injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Looks like the playoffs will start on the 15th. The NHL site has the Bruins/Caps scheduled for that day now so I guess they'll start the playoffs with the meaningless regular season games still going. Good. That series will be a war. Can't wait for Tampa Florida either. Watch some real hockey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has really clicked with Krejci which is what was supposed to have happened with Eichel. So it brings up the question to my mind, was Eichel injured game 1, OR had he asked for a trade during the off season and not being granted his wish checked out and then shut himself down with the injury first excuse chance he got and hence the disconnect as the team was already pissed he hadn't given it his all after they got him the winger and so they felt it wasn't that bad and it was an excuse? Then obviously Hall checked out and forced his outcome. Hard to believe Hall came here with the idea of checking out, seeing as he was playing for his next contract. If this was his masterplan guy is a villain, but also a genius. He broke a rib ~1 week before TC opened. He also was still dealing with the groin injury he suffered at the end of the previous season. Why hadn't he fully dealt with the groin earlier? Per him, it was a combination of travel / medical treatment restrictions getting put in place due to COVID lockdowns & there being a lack of consensus as to what the injury actually was. Considering how many medical offices shut down last March for everything but emergency procedures, that sounds plausible. YMMV. He also had an ankle injury that caused missed time & the herniated disk that killed his season. So, yes, he was injured from day 1 onward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why try to "influence Eichel"? Enough pampering, if you don't want to bleed blue and gold go lament that you didn't get to be a Bruin somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no idea what their list of untouchables is. It doesn’t matter what Rangers fans on the internet think. They just fired their top two hockey guys, and the loose cannon owner seems to want to accelerate their rebuild. Its all up in the air with them.

We don't know, but maybe they feel they have a way to move this thing forward (dead last now so only one direction......) and they can later point to Jack as the goat? In any event, the talk from Adams about a team first attitude is the right way to go, and any step backwards into a team for this star or that star would be a bad idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
