Bylsma: Sabres should channel Eichel's anger after loss to Bruins
Winslow Townson / USA Today Sports
Jack Eichel was not a happy man following yet another Buffalo Sabres loss.
Eichel reportedly exploded in the locker room after his team dropped its second game in a row at the hands of the Boston Bruins, pounding his equipment, screaming, and storming out without speaking to the media, according to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.
It's the kind of passion head coach Dan Bylsma appears to want to see on the ice.
Bylsma on Eichel's anger: "I think every one of us should be. ... We should all find that desperation, that urgency, that anger." #Sabres

The loss kept the Sabres at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, ten points out of a wild-card spot.
