Gazdic posted something like 8 points in 150 games. Basically a scrub in the NHL.
But he talks like he was an integral part of the oilers for a long time and every ones best friend and confidant.
Dont get me wrong, he has the capacity to be a likable on air personality but he squanders that with his personal investment in the oilers, which came to the surface with his Canucks meltdown where he identified as being one with the oilers with "us" statements and his constant referrals to oilers players by their first names.
The end product is cringe and embarrassing.
