I’ve been trying to think about whether or not there are “lessons” to be learned after Thursday night’s, uh... ordeal. Yeah, let’s call it an ordeal.
In case you missed it, Jack Eichel came back to town for a homecoming that would have only been worse for him if they dumped pig’s blood on him like he was Carrie. Eichel was peppered with questions about his return before the game that you knew he didn’t want to answer, forced to remain gracious and diplomatic despite the rocky end to his time as a member of the Buffalo Sabres.
