Eichel's beaut of a pass to Gionta

he's playing out of his mind
I would say that was his best game by far. Had 2 posts and the Caps D could do nothing when he had the puck. Every other shift he was doing whatever he wanted.
I hope he keeps up this style of holding the puck more. He's been backing off the D and burning them if they commit to him consistently.
His second assist is pretty nice too
For what its worth, even all of the Caps fans I was sitting around were like "holy shit" after that goal.
The rest over Christmas seems to have served him well. It's also a great sign that he plays big in big games (I realize we're not having big games... but at least against the better opponents). He was very entertaining tonight.
If the Caps continue to get good goaltending, they'll be tough in the playoffs.
No one else makes that pass
Eichel made such a good play that not even Gionta could mess it up.
