00:00 - 00:05 | They sign James Neal in the summer for 5 years |
00:05 - 00:07 | and it goes very poorly. He's not playing hard |
00:07 - 00:10 | he can't score goals, he can't get any points really. |
00:11 - 00:16 | Its almost as if something inside him was taken, sucked out like the soul of Charles Barkley in Space Jam. |
00:17 - 00:21 | Eric Francis says Calgary signed him for the playoffs |
00:21 - 00:24 | He's the worst player on the ice |
00:29 - 00:31 | Jesus |
00:31 - 00:34 | He doesn't have one point, not one. |
00:38 - 00:40 | Jesus |
00:41 - 00:47 | He's out there getting powerplay time! He's firing at will! |
00:47 - 00:50 | He's out there with his stick up calling for passes |
00:50 - 00:56 | He thinks he's going to start clapping home one timers like Ovi! |
00:58 - 00:59 | James Neal! |
00:59 - 01:01 | Real Deal James Neal! |
01:04 - 01:06 | I'm sure its coming though! |
01:06 - 01:08 | He's on the verge of something special! |
01:13 - 01:14 | Jesus! |
01:14 - 01:16 | You can tell its just a matter of time! |
01:16 - 01:20 | He's bound to have a puck hit him and go in, like his last goal! |
01:21 - 01:27 | And then the media guys can name him Hardest Working Flame for no good reason again. What did he do?! |
01:35 - 01:36 | Hardest Working Flame! |
01:36 - 01:39 | For floating with one hand on the stick, like this. |
01:41 - 01:44 | How many times this season?! But seriously. Seriously |
01:44 - 01:47 | I talked to him before Game 4 and asked |
01:47 - 01:49 | if he'd get the monkey off his back |
01:50 - 01:53 | And he spins around to look if anything is on his shoulder |
01:54 - 01:56 | He's oblivious! I said |
01:56 - 01:58 | "No, do you think you'll score tonight, asshole?" |
01:58 - 02:02 | He just shoo's me over towards Johnny and says -- "Get out!" |
02:05 - 02:07 | Jesus |
02:10 - 02:11 | The other |
02:11 - 02:13 | The other media people think |
02:15 - 02:17 | They think after he shoots something like |
02:17 - 02:20 | 4% in the regular season, he's going to be hot shit in the playoffs! |
02:21 - 02:28 | How could anyone watching him this year think he was going to add anything of value come playoff time? |
02:29 - 02:30 | People thought that? |
02:30 - 02:32 | People in the media still think that! |
02:36 - 02:39 | They think he's going to turn it on like a switch! |
02:40 - 02:42 | Like he's been saving himself! |
02:50 - 02:55 | Maybe if he switches back to that tinted visor he had with the Penguins. |
02:56 - 02:58 | Why is he still defended? |
02:58 - 03:04 | Because he was a seemingly good signing at the time. People don't want to believe for whatever reason his career is done. |
03:04 - 03:09 | Sure its one bad year, but the guy doesn't seem to care. He plays like a rug on valium. |
03:09 - 03:11 | But what do I know? |
03:16 - 03:20 | I'm not Eric Francis |
03:23 - 03:26 | I don't own any waffle houses |
03:31 - 03:36 | $14.50 for a waffle though? Another dollar for whipped cream?! |
