Leaving Jack Eichel Bitter

Before the Vegas Golden Knights came to town, the Sabres looked as though they reverted back to their “same old Sabres” moniker. The Los Angeles Kings shut them out before they put up an embarrassing performance against Sam Reinhart and the Florida Panthers the next evening.

Then came Jack Eichel and the Golden Knights, a game no one thought the Sabres would win. And early in the third period, it looked as though the Sabres were heading for yet another heartbreaker.

But it didn’t happen. Instead, the Sabres scored two unanswered goals to top the Knights, leaving Eichel so sore he could only take a cheap shot at Sabres fans following the game. But who cares?

The Sabres won. Their fans won. And Alex Tuch embarrassed Eichel when he stripped the ex-Sabre of the puck and sealed the game with an empty-netter.
