Tonight Jack Eichel made his long awaited return to Buffalo, after his trade to the Vegas Golden Knight earlier this season. Eichel was public enemy number one when he left Buffalo after demanding a trade from the only franchise he'd ever know. After seven years with the franchise it was a dispute over his medical care that ultimately was the last hurdle the two parties couldn't overcome.
It seems though that even after the trade there are hard feelings between Eichel and the entire City of Buffalo. At the end of warm-ups Eichel was greeted with a chorus of boos from the crowd. Eichel was the last Knight player off the ice, so it was clear he was expecting some sort of response from the crowd.
