The more I hear Lucic talk, the more glad I am he is gone and feel like just by not having him on the team it will make the Oilers better. There is a clip going around with him at a golf tournament I assume in Calgary talking again about the leadership and how glad he is to have a over 30 captain. So basically taking shots at McDavid. He talked about how much it benefitted him as a young player having older guys around.

So let me get this straight. He signed for 6 mill for 7 years. He's never been a checker or PK guy. He's mediocre at best on the PP. He lost the ability to score, no one wants to fight him anymore and now he admits that even though he is an older player with tons of experience, the exact guy that he identified as being a HUGE help for him as a young guy, he isn't much of a leader and prefer others to do it for him.

So don't ask Lucic to score, fight, check, be on your PK, score much on the PP or lead. So what the hell does he do then? There literally isn't anything left for a hockey player to do. So I guess on the Flames, he's just going to cruise around and whatever happens happens?

I see an old turd desperate to make excuses for himself to explain why the league left him in the dust after going through every summer just pumping iron while everyone else was working on speed and skills. He couldn't be himself because of the pressure to be a leader and to be a power forward? Seriously? Guy just isn't very bright.

As he was describing how much he got out of all the vet leaders in Boston as a young guy and how important they were for him, he was literally describing himself on the Oilers. He was a late 20's guy, had a cup, lots of experience both in the regular season and playoffs, a guy who's seen it all and who could pass that knowledge on to guys. So he's saying the Oilers lacked that. Well hey Lucic, that was for freaking job, that's what they brought you in for. I am guessing when Chia talked to him prior to signing the deal, they talked to him specifically about doing that. All there is from him is excuses. I am sure it was hard, I am sure the losing got to him, etc. But if you didn't fall off the face of the earth with your play when you are making 6 mill a year, it wouldn't have been as bad. Doesn't matter what team it is, no team can afford to have a guy making 6 mill a year doing NOTHING for 2 years. This guy continues to baffle me.

What I like so far about Neal is he hasn't pointed the finger at anything or anyone other than himself. He's admitted he didn't have a good year. He admitted that given all the hockey he played going to the finals 2 years in a row, he wasn't able to train like he needed too and wasn't in the shape he would have liked to of been in. He admitted he came in thinking he was a top 6 guy in Calgary, it didn't happen so it effected him. No trying to deflect blame. Here is what happened, I need to be better.
