🛑 Jack Eichel’s Longtime GF Erin Basil Breaks the Internet with Angrily Eight-Word Message on ESPN’s Latest Post About VGK Key Player’s Transfer
In the latest installment of “Things We Never Knew We Needed,” Erin Basil, the longtime girlfriend of NHL star Jack Eichel, has gone viral for an eight-word mic drop that has hockey Twitter in stitches. Basil, who isn’t exactly known for her media outbursts, decided to serve her sass hot and fresh in the comments section of ESPN’s latest post discussing a potential transfer involving the Vegas Golden Knights’ key player.
The now-infamous message? “This is why nobody takes ESPN seriously anymore.”
Ouch. Talk about cutting straight to the point. Within minutes, her comment had racked up thousands of likes, retweets, and a wave of responses ranging from “Preach, Erin!” to “Well, she’s not wrong.” It seems the sports world, usually focused on stats and power plays, took a collective timeout to bask in the chaos Basil casually unleashed.
And while some applauded her for “keeping it real,” others were quick to remind her that hockey transfers and media outlets have been dating back to, oh, forever. But hey, who are we to deny a little drama injection into the hockey world?
As for Eichel, he’s probably skating laps somewhere, blissfully unaware of the social media hurricane brewing in his girlfriend’s wake. One thing’s for sure—whether it’s on the ice or in the comments, the Eichel camp knows how to keep things entertaining.
Stay tuned, hockey fans. If this eight-word zinger is any indication, we’re in for a whole season of off-ice fireworks.
