What an idiot. The assumption that he "got his game together" is hilarious.
And this:
David Staples

Benching of Bear & Jones isn't shocking or unexpected, it's part of their learning curve. It's also the case that Edmonton is now carrying plenty of useful d-men, and it's good for them to get into the odd game. Lagesson and Russell are both capable NHL d-men.
Yup that's right. They are being benched not because of bad play but because of that amazing Oilers derpth

Classic Staples. He tries so hard to put positive spin on everything the oilers do- I don't even think they direct him to any more like the Lowe days, I feel like he just believes it's his duty. That's why the messaging is all misaligned too, the poor sucker is just sitting there guessing at what could be ridiculous but slightly positive sounding reasons for nearly anything the organization does. If McDavid asked for a trade he would probably tweet about how it was all a brilliant plan by Holland to kick off rebuild 3.0 by auctioning off a depreciating asset.
