May God have mercy on our souls.
The Buffalo Sabres had the unimaginable happen this morning at practice as they watched their No.2 center and All-Star-to-be Jack Eichel go down in pain.
Eichel fell back awkwardly and appeared to injure his left ankle, which has since been confirmed by coach Dan Bylsma:
