The days of a nuclear deterrent are long gone. And believe me fellas. The guy rarely stuck up for the players he was in large part paid to protect. When he did it was awesome, but most times he sat on the bench and nursed his hangover.
To be fair as an Oiler player I'm sure most of the team nurses lots of hangovers. It's how they cope with the situation.
I do wish we held Neal for one more season but I don't think him and Peter's saw eye to eye.
Peter's knows what Neal should have been putting out and obviously wasn't.
Suck as typically that's the kind of player we need. Size and skill. Hopefully he continues to shat beds all next season again.
