All talk, but no game when the chips are down. Be careful what you ask for. You may not like the outcome.

So providence go to the final as a bad team? They beat the number 1 ranked Miami, and followed that up with a big win over Denver.
If you watched that game or looked up that roster providence had noel accarri, Brandon Tanev, and of course the three flames prospects that were playing out of their mind. On top of that Jack Eichel was 18 when most players were 20 to 21. Accarri was 23, Brandon Tanev was 22 and jankowski was 21 and their game plan was to strictly impede Eichel. They were 3 to 5 years older than him. But sure he just didn't show up. You should watch the video of the tying goal in that game and tell me that was Eichel fault.
Let's just discredit Eichel for getting the primary assist on the game winner against yale, and getting 2 goals and an assist against north Dakota just to get to the finals. But I guess those weren't big games... because he never shows up in any big games.
