Jack Eichel Watch

[Ginger Vitis]

BU defeats North Dakota 5-3 in the Frozen Four semifinal.. Jack Eichel scored 2 goals and had one assist.. One of Eichels goals was a empty netter with 18 seconds left.. This game was Eichels best by far in the tournament.. Completly dominant at both ends of the ice... Saturday night BU plays Providence for the National Championship

[Ginger Vitis]

BU radio commentator on the championship game on Saturday " The reason why Im confident BU will win is because we have Jack Eichel and they don't"

Is it wrong to want this guy over McDavid?

i haven't seen mcdavid play in a full game. last night was my first eichel watch.

he's smooth with the puck. great possession. he did this thing behind his own net on a powerplay with ND trying to get him to cough it up, and he effortlessly toyed with the 2 guys. he always had control and then took off.

i don't see blazing speed, or at least he didn't showcase it, but he looks confident on his skates. an odd statement, i know, as most D1 kids are "confident" skaters. But to me, it means he seems to be skating in a way where the game is moving much slower and he just sees it better than other guys on the ice. While other guys have to race to points and react quickly, he's anticipated it and got there early. it's hard to explain, but it just seems like everyone is sweating, and he's playing with kids.

if he's the consolation prize for last place, i can't wait to see mcdavid.

There is no doubt that he will be an excellent player so getting either is awesome. You might have a bigger offensive upside with McDavid though.

Mcdavids skill set is just stupid.

[mightysimi]

Mcdavids skill set is just stupid.

Yeah he is a stud. Imagine when he is able to out muscle guys in a few years? It's going to be scary.

Duffer just reported Eichel wins Hobey Baker

Duffer just reported Eichel wins Hobey Baker

Wow, sweet. Now we'll win the lottery.

[JATMtheJATM]

Nope.

i want him.

A few weeks ago, you chastised me for saying the same thing! I go back and forth on who I want.

[JATMtheJATM]

Mcdavids skill set is just stupid.

If he is better than Crosby like some scouts say, he would be the best player since mario, or at least in terms of prospects.

Providence defeats BU 4-3 to win the national championship. Eichel with one assist Eichel didnt play as well as he did in the semifinal

[Downinfloflo]

Matt O'connor showed why he was never drafted.

Who would go 1 over him, in your opinion? Stamkos?

[Skooby]

It's a rarity to have 2 guys that could be generational.

[Ginger Vitis]

MacKinnon.. Tavares.. Stamkos.. Eichel are all pretty close.. Stamkos didn't have quite the hype that Eichel does.. Paul Hamilton was asked again if Eichel is the 2nd best prospect in the last 10 years and he said "Without a doubt"
