People who don't follow the Sabres think some fans hate him because he wouldn't get the surgery the Sabres doctor wanted when in reality it has to due how he quit on the team long before his neck injury and was already looking for a way out. Sabres fans have been dealing with so much bullshit ever since the Drury/Briere free agency dibolical back in 08 and it's been downhill ever since. It wasn't all Jack's fault but he does share some of the blame as the teams captain for not speaking up in any meaningful way when the coaching staff put together the lamest training program that never pushed the team forward in the right direction. He and everyone else wanted easy practices and they should all be blamed and not surprised for being a soft team that the crowd couldn't get into. The fact Jack was so baffled that fans would boo him after so many years of crappy effort by the whole organization makes me wonder if he ever really cared about the city of Buffalo otherwise he would know that 75% of those boos has to due to the fact how much turmoil the last decade has been.
Im legit laughing at all the ignorant non sabres fans who 1) dont know why the sabres are booing 2) Dont know/understand the nuances behind the surgery debacle and how LTIR NHL League insurance works…

Leaving Buffalo was the best thing he could ever do for his career
Buffalo fans should be ashamed of themselves
This is the sound of "boo" in America 😂😂georgeous
Both sides are better off, the franchise dropped the ball, and Eichel is a huge manchild, both got what they wanted and deserved, time to move on!
Wow the 7 fans in attendance must have really destroyed Eichel
You wanna hear boo's? Watch tavares' return to long island
looks like a quiet game in toronto or montreal when any former players come play. come on buffalo, i know you guys can be more louder than that!
Stay classy Buffalo. That's why noone wants to play in Buffalo hands down worst fan base in the NHL and probably all of sports

I hate fans who boo their former players. So little class.
Buffalo fans are the dumbest in the league. Management screwed Eichel and the fans.
