JR Ewing Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 http://oilers.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=20709 This can't come as a surprise to anybody who has watched much of the Oilers preseason, or who noticed that Jones deleted his twitter account after last night's game. Jones has simply not looked good, and the absolute best thing you could say is that he was a non-factor. I think it's only fair, though, to correct something which was mentioned on TSN's broadcast last night: that Jones has struggled since his eye injury. Not true. Jones was never really a very good player at all. Seems like a nice guy who's willing to work hard, but struggles to handle the puck when he's not even being pressured... If you can't take or make a pass or stay on your skates, you'd better 270 pounds and be able to knock the snot out of other big guys.

hf101 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Those eye injury mentions are validating the decision made for wearing visors, even if this one is an exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my long term issues with Jones' ability, notwithstanding, visors are just as important as helmets, imo. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
