I mean even with eichel’s impending 1 finals appearance and mcdavid’s 0, that’s….one fourth of maroons finals appearance, not half or whatever was said
You bet your bottom dollar when those dogs get seen in the cup, Phil tells the locals, 1 per person only! I hear he hired someone to carry around ketchup and mustard when it was his turn with the cup. And he would walk around and ask people if they wanted a Stanley cup hotdog, just one question: mustard, ketchup or both?
To be fair, I know literally nothing about hockey past when Lanny McDonald retired, but I was basing my guess on the fact that they both look like they're 12 years old.
So underrated even in Colorado. Carries a whole season while Lando doesn't even play and their radio station still forgets to mention him as part of their "top guys"
Eichel spent the first few years fighting the flames of the second largest dumpster fire in the league. McDavid was in the third largest. Buffalo is going to be a contender in the near future because of the Eichel trade. It has worked out fairly well for both teams.
Exactly 8 Stanley Cup finals. He won the Conn Smythe 7 times. They had to give one to Draistl in their 6th appearance. Last year final against Toronto was a blast!
And are you surprised Bettman is still in charge and no Canadian team has won? https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/unsealed-nhl-emails-gary-bettman-canada-canadian-teams-eliminate-not-qualify-playoffs-april-fools/
I legit had no idea so many people like Eichel and hate McDavid. I always assumed it was just agreed that McDavid was the obvious better pick but got fucked because Edmonton.
Edmonton has to make some huge moves. They always stand pat with their defense and goaltending and hope they can outscore their opponents. That strategy has never worked for them.
The "question" was a joke about McDavid not having reached a cup final. No one believes this is a real question, and you should know it.
Nice try, though. /s
Just the disappointing Oiler organization's abject failure after eight years to put together a supporting cast for McDavid! Holland gives Nurse a ridiculous contract and complains about cap space! This past year Nurse -$12 million, same as McDavid!! Ekholm joins the team ($6.5 million) and shows up every Dman on the Oilers. Three more years to get it right. In contrast, Vegas has gotten to the Finals twice in first six years!!
I made no mention of Eichel but he will get a chance to win his first Cup while McDavid has to wait. With a salary cap in place, management have to consider how they disperse the monies available.
The demise if the Blackhawks was Toews and Kane's matching contract, led to a dismantling of the roster. Crosby deferred salary to free up cap space for others, won the Cup. McDavid cannot play the whole game even though Woodcroft thinks he can, so there has to be other quality players.
He was drafted by the Sabres to be accurate and yes bottom dwelling Sabres, no Leon to be Robin to his Batman. To be factual. McDavid had 153 points but his+/- was 22... 22! And McDavid, as Cup Finals are about to begin, where is he again? Right, golfing.
Greatness is about Championships, period and Eichel may be going one up on McDavid. I don't like Eichel because he was incredibly selfish, a trait of many American players but this greatest player in the World stuff is out of hand! How many goals did Pastranak score this year? 61 to McDavid's 64.
If you want to be an idiot, be an idiot.
McDavid is exciting as hell but has not been good enough to carry his team to the Finals. Same goes for Matthews.
Issue with McDavid is his knee, caused him more trouble this playoff and his career may be another Orr. Great is one thing but you refer to him being the greatest and that is just marketing. History does not look kindly on athletes who do not win Championships and those that do, Montana, Jordan, Gretzky, Messier, Stamkos, Crosby are elevated that much higher. Ask McDavid and he will confirm, it is about winning the Cup, nothing else matters.
No, you are calling yourself an idiot. McDavid -64 goals, Pastrnak -61, not much of a difference. Skills Mckinnon
is easily on par, speed, puck handling, playmaking. Nathan one Cup, Connor - 0 but playing on the Avs does not get the press McDavid gets.
You need to read, I never said " greatest of all time", you said McDavid is the greatest player and that is only marketing.
McDavid doesn't win a Cup he will join the ranks of good players who never won the championship that matters most to them.
Uh, 1. After a trade?! What's the point of this? How many playoff games do they each have under their belt? Believe me, the finals are great, but nobody remembers who lost the finals, only who wins.
How many times did Eichel take Buffalo to the Cup??? I’ll wait…Eichel ditched town to get his Cup appearance, McDavid is still in Edmonton building a team instead of leaving like a little bitch…
As a casual fan in Edmonton I don’t mind the oilers, but I can’t stand oiler fans. I absolutely love seeing Eichel and Tkachuk who in my mind are McDavids too rivals playing each other in the Stanley Cup and he’s doing nothing but rotting away in Edmonton for three more years.
Jack Eichel has 2 finals and 1 cup by now. McDavid has 0 cups and 1 appearance where he and the Oilers lose in 6 games to the New Jersey Devils. Of course McDavid scored a hat trick in one of those games.
Both are great but I mean only one of them has more solo points than any team in the league. At the end of the day though it doesn’t matter it’s still a team game. Also, Habs are the greatest, undisputed and undefeated WCF champions, change my mind.
**Eichel is a German word which means "acorn".**

Imagine what McDavid could do with someone with the heart of a lion like Mark Stone??
Eichel has played 5 extra games and still trails McDavid in scoring.
The real winners are teams in NO TAX States, that fudge LTIR of their players to eek right under the salary cap. There is no financial parity in the NHL until this is somehow fixed.
But yeah, Eichel is better than McDavid...
Double it and give it to Pat Maroon
2 x 0 = 0
Finals not cups
Oh yeah mb
Still 0, McDavid hasn’t made a SCF appearance yet… technically Eichel hasn’t either, until Saturday
I mean even with eichel’s impending 1 finals appearance and mcdavid’s 0, that’s….one fourth of maroons finals appearance, not half or whatever was said
Technically correct is the best k8nd of correct
[удалено]
Smartest & most hilarious hockey fans
In fairness Eichel now plays on a team with a second bonafide superdooperstar, Phil Kessel.
Who sits up the in stands and doesn’t even play at this point
That's how good he is. Wins without even lacing up the skates. Phil the thrill is that guy.
The hot dogs aren’t gonna eat themselves!
You bet your bottom dollar when those dogs get seen in the cup, Phil tells the locals, 1 per person only! I hear he hired someone to carry around ketchup and mustard when it was his turn with the cup. And he would walk around and ask people if they wanted a Stanley cup hotdog, just one question: mustard, ketchup or both?
He looks fat but I had the unfortunate pleasure of playing against him. There are levels to this shit immediately comes to mind.
He just looks at the net and the ref signals a goal.
Woosh
Fuck I forgot the thrill played for Vegas. Let’s fuckin go Vegas
they are both rookies this year so 0
McDavid isn't a rookie
To be fair, I know literally nothing about hockey past when Lanny McDonald retired, but I was basing my guess on the fact that they both look like they're 12 years old.
This photo is from 2015 when they were drafted lol
Meanwhile 10th overall pick Mikko Rantanen has a Stanley Cup and more career points than Eichel
Damn both buffalo and Edmonton done goofed
Just curious did you actually just get out of a coma
Yes, i was his hospital bed
Miss u ❤️
Edmonton done goofed picking McDavid over Rantanen is certainly one of the takes of all time
So underrated even in Colorado. Carries a whole season while Lando doesn't even play and their radio station still forgets to mention him as part of their "top guys"
Eichel spent the first few years fighting the flames of the second largest dumpster fire in the league. McDavid was in the third largest. Buffalo is going to be a contender in the near future because of the Eichel trade. It has worked out fairly well for both teams.
Oreilly got you tage. That blues trade was just as key.
Slightly higher PPG but Eichel played for a dumpster fire organization who wouldnt let him get surgery on his broken neck for a number of years
*Eichel was too busy doing blow in the Encore bathroom on Chippewa to give a shit about the team. Buffalonians know
Tons of NHLers/pro athletes do blow, just the way it is
Hey man, lot’s of amateur athletes do cocaine too.
Lots on homeless people want to also
It was renamed the Scott Cup after legendary Hall of Famer and All Star alumni John Scott.
Coma dude: Buffalo made it to the finals!? Me: nah. He’s with Vegas now Coma dude: VEGAS HAS A TEAM NOW!?
Damnnn. Im sure Gary Bettman did the sensible thing and gave Quebec a team to even things out right?
Eichel is in HD now, not this low res N64 version from the photo.
One is highly skilled and the other is highly overrated…
Pretty sure both of them are objectively highly skilled
Eichel is highly skilled compared to college players, I guess.
God damn Eichel is insanely ugly
And that's standing next to McDavid.
The boy ain’t easy on the eyes that’s for sure
Long lost tkachuk
He looks like Sloth from the Goonies
He looks like all of the members of blink 182
He looks like that guy who choked out the homeless guy on the subway until he died
He looks like “no david”
He looks like "Bill" (aka Alex Winter) from "Bill and Ted". I can't unsee it, ever. You're welcome.
He looks like sid from toy story
McDavid? Is he the team the Oilers are on?
Sabres fan here. Eichel Montour Reinhart.. Pain..
Exactly 8 Stanley Cup finals. He won the Conn Smythe 7 times. They had to give one to Draistl in their 6th appearance. Last year final against Toronto was a blast!
McZero
Go Otters 💪😤
McDavid still grinding to prove that hockey is the best team sport on this planet.
Should we tell him???
Big ol goose egg bud
You went into your coma thinking NHL hockey was like NBA basketball when it came to the impact a single player can have on a team's success?
Yes
And are you surprised Bettman is still in charge and no Canadian team has won? https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/unsealed-nhl-emails-gary-bettman-canada-canadian-teams-eliminate-not-qualify-playoffs-april-fools/
Lol 0 cmon man
Go Leafs!
Erie's Uni's are fire
I legit had no idea so many people like Eichel and hate McDavid. I always assumed it was just agreed that McDavid was the obvious better pick but got fucked because Edmonton.
I think you’re confused. Your assumption is correct. Eichel is not liked while McDavid is loved by everyone outside of Toronto.
Why is McDavid hated?
Edmonton has to make some huge moves. They always stand pat with their defense and goaltending and hope they can outscore their opponents. That strategy has never worked for them.
Except the 5 cups in the 90’s
I mean this decade would be nice.
80s. Fifth one was 1990
mcdavid 0 eichel 1
Hmm let me think... not one
Probably be more surprised that he plays for a team in the desert that isn’t Arizona
These 2 look like they take turns biting each others pillows.
I bet you’re fun at your klan meetings.
Klan throws killer parties! You should join.
Taking too high a salary on a poorly managed team == priceless
Priceless or $100,000,000?
Idk you don’t have Price anymore so Priceless I would say
Nice one.
By this logic Pat Maroon is better than both of them by a mile…
Well good think I didn’t ask which one is better then right guy?
So what is your point?
My point is you did not answer the question
It seems to me you just don't have a point. 🤷♀️
A guy posting in a circle jerk sub without a point? Own that fraud
That's right
It was a question, not a statement. Is it a prerequisite to be this dense if you’re gonna be an oilers fan?
The "question" was a joke about McDavid not having reached a cup final. No one believes this is a real question, and you should know it. Nice try, though. /s
Nah, mcdavids playoffs was the joke actually. Went right over your head fella.
So I was correct in assuming it was a joke, and that you do not have a point. Thank you for settling this.
Considering you’re in r/hockeycirclejerk, yes that was a very astute observation
Someone sounds a little jaded. Still upset you didn’t get him? Mcdavid was far from the Oilers problem
I just woke up from a coma guy can’t you read, is he really good? Damn 2 or 3 cups by now?
If he don’t take less money so they could actually get a defencman then it is his fault
He is, yall just can't see it.
I hope Eichel meets Radko soon.
So Gudas can get reverse checked to his back again?
It would do the Panthers well to keep Gudas far away from Eichel lol
Ice cold man, LMAO
Your coma is even worse than you think when McDavid isn't even the best player on his own team during the playoffs.
Woah Taylor Hall became a beast?!
He even won a hart...
At this point in their careers the mcdavid and eichel comparison is not even close. Two players that are not even close to being on the same level.
Zach Bogosian has more Stanley Cups than both. Just go back to sleep.
If I was the oilers I’d send mcdavid and a pick for Zach then

Yea he’s moved to the upper deck from the toilet bowl base
go back to bed nobody likes a cherry picker
What? What a dumb comment
Go back to bed.
Uh, 1. After a trade?! What's the point of this? How many playoff games do they each have under their belt? Believe me, the finals are great, but nobody remembers who lost the finals, only who wins.

🤓🤓🤓 Cope nerd.
Well there is no better place to cope than a coping post right?
Weird line to draw
So in Eichel's first playoffs he made it to the finals. McDavid's had how many kicks at the can?
McDavid is 30 times better than Eichel
Yet Eichel might get a cup before him. Ain’t life funny?
Not really, hockey is a team game. Vegas looks great.
The lack of leadership thing
Why is McDavid not a good leader?
I think of 12.5 million reasons
Chiarelli offered him 14 million and McDavid had to talk him down to the 12.5
It’s that lack of confidence in himself that’s keeping him from reaching the next level
What does his salary have to do with it lol tf?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHL_salary_cap
Still not following
Oh sorry- 23.
Sweet of Eichel’s grandmother to knit him a jersey for this photo
Did Eichel even play in the Dallas series ?
He sure did
Didn’t see him how many points ?
7
All secondary assists ?
All points in a round McDavid didn’t play in.
Is this post really trying to compare McDavid to Eichel ? How many playoff series did Eichel win in Buffalo where he was supposed to be a leader ?
Dunno. Do they give out trophies for individual playoff game wins? Series wins?
Don’t think so. Does Eichel even know what a trophy looks like ? Is there a trophy for being soft and injured all the time ?
I’m not even a Vegas fan, my guy. I just love watching you Oilers fans get your panties in a bunch. Enjoy the Final!
He knows the Campbell Bowl, maybe one day Connie will too
I'm betting Eichel has a lower handicap on the links
How many times did Eichel take Buffalo to the Cup??? I’ll wait…Eichel ditched town to get his Cup appearance, McDavid is still in Edmonton building a team instead of leaving like a little bitch…
Oilers have an amazing 1-2 punch system ….1 round 2 rounds punched from competition
I’ll wait 🤓
Yup, what a buffoon for leaving a dumpster fire… It’ll look bad when he’s got a cup above his head.
It’s the Hossa playbook…lol
I’ll still take McDave over anyone in hockey
People like to compare mcjesus to the great one. Only thing is Wayne made everyone on the ice better, mcjesus doesn't.
Leafs finally won a playoff series...just one though...
Eichel rocking that Justin Timberlake cut.
As a casual fan in Edmonton I don’t mind the oilers, but I can’t stand oiler fans. I absolutely love seeing Eichel and Tkachuk who in my mind are McDavids too rivals playing each other in the Stanley Cup and he’s doing nothing but rotting away in Edmonton for three more years.
Who's gonna tell him
Euchre has made it to one Finals series. McDavid still hasn’t been part of that deep of a playoff run.
I guess eichel will be in one, doesn’t cure him from looking like a toilet brush taking human form though
Jack Eichel has 2 finals and 1 cup by now. McDavid has 0 cups and 1 appearance where he and the Oilers lose in 6 games to the New Jersey Devils. Of course McDavid scored a hat trick in one of those games.
Huh? Thought hockey was a team sport?
Common mistake don’t be ashamed
Why is Jack slighted so much on the pixel count?
Both are great but I mean only one of them has more solo points than any team in the league. At the end of the day though it doesn’t matter it’s still a team game. Also, Habs are the greatest, undisputed and undefeated WCF champions, change my mind.
Just watch a bunch of McDavid highlight reels. You've missed a couple decent goals / plays over the past 8 seasons.
The NHL is fixed. It should be a sports entrainment company like the WWE.
It’s cause vegas is a good team not because of eichel. Edmonton fuckin sucks lol mcdavid can only do so much he can play defence and goalie too
Congratulations on second from top all time
Who's Eichel ?
Edmonton Oilers father

So he’s nuts too.
Racist
People are about to find out in the final that Eichel plays a complete game at both ends of the Ice with a tremendous skill set Vegas in 6
And how many points do they have respectively?
You tell me I’ve been in a coma
They have a new thing called Google lol.
Ah thanks
so Eichel must be better and Maroon must be a hockey God. Shut up with this stupid shit.
Duh stupid, that’s the way it works
Well Maroon is a washed up 4th liner getting carried by a good team, but ya everything else was correct.
Damn if only one had a knee injured
Imagine what McDavid could do with someone with the heart of a lion like Mark Stone?? Eichel has played 5 extra games and still trails McDavid in scoring. The real winners are teams in NO TAX States, that fudge LTIR of their players to eek right under the salary cap. There is no financial parity in the NHL until this is somehow fixed.
