  1. he went from an interview a couple days ago of "i expect it and its ok" and “there’s no bitterness” to these comments lol

  2. Funny he said only took 7 years for them to get into the game so why didn’t you get into this game Jack maybe your the problem

  3. Aaaand what little respect has been lost. I don't blame him for wanting out but here he acts like a spoiled child

  4. His comments show just how thin-skinned he is. It would be ironic if Vegas missed the playoffs this year.

  5. Way TOO EARLY for this comparison, but a losing record with the Sabres (147-180-48) and the Knights (4-6-1). Crappy attitudes can ruin chemistry.

  6. As Buffalo fan we do not like anyone who doesn't want to be here, be a part of community and play hard. He asked for a trade a year before his neck issues. He didn't want to be here, if you do not want us, we do not want you. During his tribute showing his community work everyone was clapping. When he touched the puck he got booed. His statement is ironic because he was the cause of Buffalo fans not being loud for 7 years. He played on those teams, if he wanted louder cheering maybe he should have done something about it. He is salty becasue he did the same thing he did his career in Buffalo as this game, nothing.

  7. Eichel is a spoiled suck. He will never live down last nights game as long as he lives. If I run into him when he is an old man, I will remind him of the loss. Just because he tried to throw the fans under the bus.

  8. As a Vegas fan we’re really in trouble. I never wanted this trade to go down and tuch was actually my favorite player I got his jersey. Front office ruthless antics finally catching up to them. Chasing the big fish might sound enticing at first but we’re seeing first hand how it doesn’t always work out. They got rid of the heart and soul of the team by dealing tuch and fleury. They got no mojo they look lost out there. We might not even make the playoffs forget about being a cup contending team. Our team last year was perfectly fine until they blew it up

  9. to be fair EVERYTHING in Buffalo is toxic af
    the owners
    the fans for selling their tickets to Leafs fans and make it a home game for the Leafs
    the losing
    the losing
    the non-development of the draftpicks
    the losing
    the non-playoffs
    at this point its a MIRACLE buffalo still has players

  10. Now Tuch will be the next captain in Buffalo, he’s always got a smile on his face and is the first bear hug someone in a special moment and pick them up when they’re down; the you talented kids like Quinn, Dahlin, Cozens, Krebs, Thompson, & Mittlestadt will learn and be better bc of what he does and who he is, and he’s rejuvenated vets like Okposo, & Skinner. All while Jack is being Jack, and spreading his negativity throughout a team that’s nothing but rock solid prior to his arrival. Just wait, if Jack isn’t the main focus, and things get rough, you’ll have guys wanting out, coaches being fired (at his request) and you’ll see the eye rolling and stick breaking. Man, such a waste of phenomenal talent.

  11. I can honestly say that Tuch has just a solid as an appearance as Eichle… maybe better…

    It was amazing to see Krebs + Tuch Both score when Eichle didnt 🙁

  12. Listen hockey fans and I’m one of them but here is my rant and you can agree or disagree or tell me to pound sand. I’m a Leafs fan so let’s get that out of the way and yes let the BS comments for that start but also let’s get real. The kids these days are soft no mater the team. Leafs, Sabres, VGK, doesn’t matter. These type of organizations won’t win a Cup. Tampa might win it again and there whole 3rd line is gone. Why they know how to win they have battle scares they are tough not like Mitch Marner who scores 90 points in the reg season and becomes invisible come playoff time it’s a joke. These veteran teams always come through. The Leafs, Avalanche, whoever else are gone, it will be Penguins/Lightning vs Flames for the Cup, you heard it hear now put some Money down

  13. Love it. Team ruined any chance for success. He had no support. Of course he wanted out. Team didn't allow surgery. Why're fans booing him for any of that? I thought fans want more personality?

  14. Perfect example of what Paul Hamilton spoke of often. Spoiled brat, entitled, thinks he walks on water. Craig Rivet in his podcast "After the whistle" called Eichel a spoiled S*it head

  15. From a guy who says he should have been drafted #1 instead of McDavid, I’m not surprised by his immaturity and lack of professionalism. You don’t throw the fans under the bus because you can’t steer your ship as a captain and then jump ship
