Jack Eichel is quietly becoming a top-5 player in the league

[topshelf15]

Just a 14 game point streak, and joining the leagues, elite, a top player in most offensive statistics, yeah no big deal..






And hes not even known for his goals. Crazy he achieved this by December 9th too.

For him its not a big deal,the kid was always going to end up there...Again Iam not at all surprised

And a goal to put Buffalo up in the 3rd. He's not only scoring, he is scoring when it matters most.

Won the draw against the more revered O'Reilly in the final minute of the game, leading to the first ENG as well. It's the little things sometimes that he's doing now that have such positive impact on the game.

 

[Chainshot]

If nothing else, this was something amusing to see.

You know what’s crazy about his 14 game streak? The powerplay has been an unmitigated disaster.

 

[lauraP]

I am a man, and I am moist.






..not totally sure what it means myself, but you get the idea.

Absolute filth my god

 

[Selanne00008]

Eichel in god mode

total god mode. How the hell did he hang onto that and keep it looking smooth right after the toe drag. My gosh.

 

[sheed36]

Great to see Eichel tearing it up this season. The game he played against the Habs earlier this season when he had 2G + 2A was the most dominating performance I've seen from any player against the Habs all season.

 

[aufheben]

That one was sick.

I had to watch this several times to even comprehend what happened.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

He is just loving it right now.

I mean, you have to feel good for the guy even if you dislike him. He’s been losing for years and years and taking large parts of the blame like most stars do (even though it’s always misdirected like with mcdavid for example)

14 goals and 27 points in his last 15 games....and the powerplay has been god awful.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Yeah, it's great and all but the dude really needs to work on his goal celebrations.

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

He shot that so quick, I dont even know if the goalie new what happened.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Yeah, it's great and all but the dude really needs to work on his goal celebrations.

We’ll notify him after the game. Thanks.

(People will rip the guy about something even if he walks on water)

 

[FloridaSabresFan]

Yeah, it's great and all but the dude really needs to work on his goal celebrations.

Risto can teach him

They just showed a replay of Eichel saving a goal in the crease. He’s improved so much other than offensively but he’s been scoring so much it’s overwhelmed the conversation.

I was gonna say.. lost in the convo is the fact that he made the defensive play of the night as well.

Dude is just unreal this year. I'm a homer, biased, look at my user name- but he's putting himself in the Hart conversation. Few teams run through one guy like the Sabres run through Eich.
