He gets facts and infers results from there.
Secondly...and call me crazy...but I like Jeff O'Neill. He seems to have a good blend of hockey intelligence, credit and crazy. Hes not 'out there' as a old-school hockey man, but hes credible and he speaks his mind.

Yeah. I think the critique of my comment is fair. Sometimes it’d drive me crazy that he wouldn’t place his point of view because some of the information was obvious. But he’s never been a dislikable guy. O’Neill is polarizing. You don’t want a company shill, which he gets points for. I’m sure he has a lot of sources too. What I don’t like is the personality. The Don Cherry lite is exhausting sometimes. Plus guys addressing him out of their way as O-Dog when the viewer doesn’t know him personally is a bit hockey-bro ish. But that’s not on him.
