But is that quality reporting? Trolling
He's feeding a narrative about this team not being "for real" and that we only win vs weak opponents and, for whatever reasons he gives for that, it's time to shed the negativity. This is about the team and he's making it about him by using the team as his comedic fodder? Making jokes about their current run. I don't know that he's getting it right.
I don't think he's poking FUN at himself as much as he's proclaiming that he's negative and proud of his stance. I get ego and narcissism from him. I think he was pointing out something in a serious tone then adding the cutesy negative stuff to justify it. Like "someone here's gotta tell the truth" but the truth is the Canucks have helped PUT the Oilers in the basement...they're not recipients of easy wins because they were there. I mean, he was one of the ones touting the Oilers as potential cup winners a month ago. A team to beat....and we have. Give credit where it's due, don't try to always look for the negative spin.
Apparently he was on the show and after he'd left Rick made comments about him and the fact that he'd been all over Miller and his harshest critic and is now trying to head his fan club.
With that, even talking about him is helping spread his negativity....best to ignore him completely (as I've been doing this year). And no one's freaking out, we're commenting.
