I've always liked Jones, and I was thrilled when we acquired him from Colorado. He's not a bad player, he scored 20 goals twice in Colorado, and no one else had his jersey, so I figured I'd be unique and buy it. (It was between him and Rafa Diaz.) He became my favourite player in Game 1 of the WCQF against Vancouver in 2015 with his huge goal in the third period. We were down 1-0, and we weren't playing all that well. I was down at the Boston Pizza on 17th watching the game, wearing Jones' jersey. When he scored, I jumped around the restaurant, celebrating with everyone because OMG my guy just scored. Been my favourite player ever since. Always root for him to succeed, I think he's very underrated.
