Eichel hurt in practice

No real info yet, other than it looked pretty bad

 

[McDavidbowie]

Eichel badly hurt at practice

 

[Laineux]

They should just ban practices.

 

[X66]

Well, that sucks ass.

Poor kid.

 

[93LEAFS]

Terrible, was really looking forward to him and Matthews battling this year. Hoping that it is like Nielsen in preseason where it looked bad but he was back quickly, or Turris last year.

 

[Gsus]

Buffalo is kinda f'd if he's out. Not that they would be ready to contend yet but still.

 

[Oscar Acosta]

Would be nice to see a year without the game's talent going down for long stretches. Hopefully nothing major.
Edit: That's a pretty big hope after pausing the video frames.

I'm gonna go curl up in a ball for the next year now. It looks really bad.

Turris never should have come back last season.

He wasn't the same player and it was obvious to everyone.

For f sakes!!@@

That sucks awkward way to fall hope he recovers quick.

 

[SenzZen]

Sorry Sabres fans.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

That looked pretty awkward with the torque on that leg.

Right? I know freak injuries happen but so many stars have been missing a lot of time recently. Crosby concussed and now this.

Ya, I was gunna say.. Turris was awful after that play, never looked the same.

No kidding. There is so much amazing young talent out there now too and coming up.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

Must suck to be a Sabres fan right now

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Oh man that looked awkward.

 

[X66]

Nielsen on the Leafs got an Knee injury in pre-season that looked just as bad as that and he came back that game so just HOPE it looks worse than it is...

Feel bad for the guy.

 

[SirPaste]

That sucks

 

[Diamondillium]

Apparently yelled pretty loud.... lower body

I initially read this thinking that yelling loud caused the injury.

That sucks though, I hope he gets back soon. Buffalo is already getting decimated by these injuries.

Tripped or slew footed and left skate toe got stuck in the ice under him while twisting, looks like. Knee or ankle probably.
