His berta look may not fly in the big smoke. Might need a makeover.

ZC's presser pretty much said this albeit wrapped in diplomacy.

No Oilers suck all the time.

Nope disagree whether you're an elite athlete or past your prime cuz the same result consequence free is the point.

Just to draw a comparison to the NHL, here's a blurb from NHL trade talk and the impact of allowing certain players to continue to play: 'The calls for Bouchard to sit are no longer whispers, and the players on his team, all of whom are watching Bouchard go consequence-free, are picking up bad habits'. Works in football as well being the ultimate team sport that it is.

You know it’s bad when you don’t have to be a football x and o guy to know JT had absolutely no business being out there.

If JT is trotted out next year, someone should go to jail.

Hmmmmmmmm interesting fair point but i have also heard that not only does BC suck they smell like a** so what to do?

It also brought back a childhood memory where Rick Monday, ironically from the Dodgers, hit a ninth inning homerun to beat my Expos in five games in the National League Championship. Crushing.

Sometimes, not always, it isn't about better it's about different.

Bust his ass still resulted in being manhandled on practically every play. Busting one’s ass means nothing if it doesn’t produce anything which is true for any job. And this isn’t an either/or, it’s both, as in both need to go.

Said no one ever, oh right you're talking football.

Put in your two week notice, you're hired! 🙂

I think I would question was a player like JT trotted out each week being man handled every game because there was no better alternative, nothing in the pipeline, no body they could bring in to assess, JT's CDN and the least of our worries OR it was never considered replacing him because JT was going to play as he earned his stripes he goes out on his terms and we adjust the D scheme to compensate for this? If it's the latter, that's a different discussion to be had. Imo some here gloss over this and underestimate it's impact on team dynamics and success. I'm obviously not suggesting our season failures land squarely on JT's shoulders not even close I hope he understands how appreciative we are in what he has done for this team and him bleeding Blue and Gold but when dissecting the season, performing it's autopsy, I think it's a little bit more complex we didn't have the upgrades available to replace our existing underperforming talent with little in season options available to us to adjust as needed.
