It's a big year for Jack Eichel and the Buffalo Sabres.

The 20-year-old is entering his third season in the NHL and although he's been successful so far in the stats department, he hasn't played in a playoff game yet in his career.

Eichel has been working hard all offseason so he can help the Sabres make the playoffs for the first time since the 2010-11 season.

Over the summer, Eichel also got some help from the on.the.bench boys when they him greasing his snapper incorrectly.

 

It's a shame Eichel didn't learn anything from the boys and if he has his best season in the NHL this year, it probably won't be because of what the boys taught him.

That said, they did their best, as they always do and sometimes it's important for all hockey players to learn the fundies again.
