Reading that tweet makes me hope our Babcock influenced manager isn't pulling the same ****
So Neal has more goals than any Flames player. Thats actually hilarious.

I mean he is a black hole 5 v 5 still and has taken Chiassons production. Literally, he's worse than Lucic 5v5, which is saying something, but he's helping Edmontons PP. Tippett is the real hero in Edmonton and obviously McDrai scoring at an unsustainable pace.

All these things are true, but as you say he is producing on their Powerplay, and it is winning them games. They don't come back against the Yotes last night without Neals earlier goal.
It is really weird because everywhere he has gone he has done this, except Calgary....makes me wonder if Jagr still had something to give
The Flames fans calling the trade a "win-win" have too much pride to admit the Oilers got one over on Treliving
James Neal has 3.5x more goals than Lucic has points.
Should we go over all the ex Oiler players that are thriving over the past 5 or 6 years after they left Edmonton? But ya.. lets look at a 44 year old Jagr.
Where were these reports before he signed with the Leafs?Too many of these types of stories for at least some of them to not be true
Honestly too bad the reporters only have the balls to report these types of things once they’re on their way out of town

Everyone and their dog knows that Neal isn't a playmaker and 3 assists vs 4 is a negligible differenceMilan Lucic has 33% more assists than James Neal.

Here's the weird thing though, I don't think many realize how long some of this stuff is going on and how prevalent it is. For instance, when Hartley was around, there were rumors about mind games and public humiliation and whatnot. What we never figured out was what type of stuff it was. This kind of thing fits the rumor to a T, but honestly speaking, I wouldn't be surprised if this was just one of a dozen different types of tools that falls into these mind games/humiliation categories.
I don't think it's impossible Peters does this as well, but I also don't think this is a situation where it's a minority of coaches that do it. It could even properly fit into the reason why many coaches have a shelf life. I think a majority does it as well with perhaps only the newer school ones that don't or have superior methods that are better received than the older school types of methods?

Well, they do if Chiasson scores that goal instead.
