You trained all summer, and youre just so excited for the season to get going, Eichel told reporters Friday inside the Sabres dressing room. Bad bounce. But its part of the game. Its something you have to deal with and deal with the right way.Eichel could be heard screaming in pain as he fell to the ice Wednesday morning near the end of practice, on the eve of the Sabres season-opening 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.Just felt my body kind of fall on top of my ankle and not go the way it should, said Eichel.

But that may be just a guess, as the recovery time from a high-ankle sprain is hard to predict.Timetable-wise, you really dont know, Eichel said. You worry about rushing things and not feeling good when you come back. Its something that you want to take time and make sure youre 100 percent.Added Eichel: Its important that I learn to deal with this experience and just make myself better while Im out. Take my time and make sure when I come back Im able to positively affect the team. ' ' '
