In case you forgot, the Buffalo Sabres have four players competing in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. While I enjoy watching Ryan O’Reilly play and have nothing against Dmitry Kulikov . . . yet . . . the two players I am the most interested in watching during the tournament are Jack Eichel and Rasmus Ristolainen.
How fortunate for me, then, that Eichel and Risto faced each other in their team’s opening game of the WCH. Even better, how lucky am I that I actually managed to watch Team North America rout Finland 4-1, despite the fact that the game took place during my kids’ bedtime?
