If your special teams sucks, there’s clearly no better cure than playing the Buffalo Sabres.

Jack Eichel: Rich “AF”
Jack Eichel can’t even legally go to a bar (in the United States anyway) and buy a round of drinks for his boys, so I guess he’ll need to find another way to celebrate after signing a Buffalo Sabres franchise-record eight year, $80-million contract extension.
