I agree. I just watched a video on YouTube from TSN OverDrive, where Goes Miller said that Neal can skate and that he has a great shot, he also said he called the Flames/Avs playoff series. Not sure how you can call that series and come away anything remotely positive to say about Neal.
He was so slow that he couldn't keep up with the play, by the time he entered a zone the play was going the other direction. His great shot was non existent all season, I don't think I seen it once. I mean when the trade happened the best highlight that the sports networks could find was Neal fanning on a one timer and it fluttering over the Penguins goalies glove, that pretty much sums up the goals he scored last year, they were all pretty much fluke goals.
