Jack Eichel went and did it, folks.
When asked about what the team’s goals for the 2016-17 year were, Eichel responded, “for the most part I think we all have the same one and that’s make the playoffs.”
It’s playoffs or bust for the Buffalo Sabres this year, according to Mr. Eichel – but will the team still be within reach of its big goal when February, the fifth month of the NHL regular season, starts?
For the record, I have the Buffalo Sabres standing at 22-21-6 when February begins, good for exactly 50 points.
