I-90 W Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I’ll honestly never understand why some here go so far out of their way to be Jack Eichel apologists. Sure, some fans are unbelievably harsh on players, which is rather unsophisticated. But coming across as if Jack Eichel can do no wrong is also a bit much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in this case, the source is a current NHL head coach (not Ducks or Kings) who I've known personally for the past 10 years or so. I'll leave it at that. You can probably figure it out looking at my post history. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post darksabre Posted July 29, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I'm just gonna say my piece here, but a lot of us have been aggressively following not only this team but sports in general for a looooooong time, and after a while you start to notice the same things happening over and over again. -Fans love world building. They love creating stories around their teams, and the players are characters built up out of little bits and fragments of information accumulated, augmented, and crafted into something "real". But the truth is that we don't really know these guys, and we don't really know anything about their world. -A large majority of the stuff fans think is happening, isn't. -A large majority of the stuff fans think is important is in fact completely inconsequential. 4 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been quiet thus far on the topic, which is why it caught my attention. That said, I still don't think anything happens until we get closer to mid-August and all the FA dust has settled.

Eleven Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 The entire situation, besides the goaltender spot, was easily solved four years ago by giving O'Reilly the C and telling Jack to deal with it. Most of us knew that back then. It wasn't a tough decision. Botterill was an idiot. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
