I logged in/on just to point out that after the whistle on the Sabres' power play Eichel went up to Brock Nelson and admired Nelson's stick and appeared to ask a question about it and have a little chat.

I've been on the fence about trading Eichel. That sealed it.

This isn't a summer scrimmage with your Masshole buddies.

I remember watching Jack and Nelson at the world championships in 2015 when we knew we were getting Jack.

They looked so good together and Jack wasn't even a pro yet. 

Happier times.

Eichel always carries the puck in zone, stops, and waits and the blue line and passes. It used to be cool when he was good, now it just looks pointless and annoying 

Penetrate that blanket, Casey

Yes, but is the penetration going deep enough?

Eichel used to demand respect along the half wall 5 on 5 because with a quick shield and push he'd loop out and into slot and bury it. This year, if he's along the boards, just double him and take the puck away. His pass today was beautiful (to Montour for a flub) but the rest of the time it's a turnover.

Yes, kind of a casual conversation in the middle of a game.  Brock looked surprised by it.   Let’s be realistic, these players are friends off the ice but maybe Buffalo’s play, mired in an ugly losing streak, could be more focused and intense.  
 

Maybe that is all Jack needs? A new stick.
