CrudeRemarks wrote on Mon, 10 December 2018 14:18 | This article would've meant something two years ago. Ference hasn't played in a long time. No surprise he defends Eakins, they were push up and smoothie buddies. Guy probably hates donuts as well. Besides isn't it the captain's job to set the team attitude? I heard Pronger came in and basically did exactly that and they came 1 game short of a Cup win.
All this tells me is Ference has a weak personality. And why does it come out now? Does he have a book in the works?

This team has lacked leadership and responsibility from the players, to the coach, right up to the owner for at least a decade. The heart and soul guys of the early 2000’s and late 90’s made up for their lack of talent with a commitment to at least give a crap and try. The responsibility lie with every member or the organization. Management never provided the right amount of actual leadership to the young guys who were brought in and hailed as saviours. The young guys didn’t live up to their saviour status because once they signed the contracts it was the end of the road. They relied on their considerable talent to just show up and thought that was enough.
I don’t think anyone can honestly say that it’s one sided fault or the other. The whole organization is a joke from the owner down to the farm clubs. Everyone wants to blame everyone else without actually accepting responsibility that although this is a game, they are all being paid a lot of money to perform and it’s a job.
Management doesn’t accept responsibility and blames the players, the weather, the zodiac signs, for their own short comings. Players blame the ‘system’ (or lack thereof) for the losses. Everyone is equally culpable in this tire fire. Hopefully now they have an experienced coach with an actual system and a group of players that seems willing to buy in, they might be able to function as a colllective rather then a group of individuals.
Players are professionals and need to act accordingly. What proportion of the entire workforce parties non-stop and basically tells their employer to pound sand because they need the player more then the player needs the organization? What organization gives the keys to new grads and hopes to sustain itself long term without providing structure and guidance? The Oilers apparently.
