Texas Captain Unhappy About Ice, Justified?
#1

Many know Renegades captain, Gibbon, to be an absolute machine. Something of a force that cannot, will not, be stopped. In recent years however, his ice time has declined significantly to the point where he sees very minimal PK opportunities. Gibbon has been very vocal about his displeasure about the situation amongst the team and coaches. Times like these can be tough for the player and the fans who may only see the great times he's brought to the city. However, every story has two sides and today, we take a look at the potential reasons he'll be seeing a lot of press box in the coming season.

#10. He has absolutely zero strength. Some will say Gibbon was at an unfair disadvantage against the Rage's Merica, but we won't make any excuses. Merica did not win, Gibbon has terrible strength and lost...badly.

#9 He lives and dies by the PK. Here, he had the rare chance to take a shot in the shootout, so what does he do? Dump and change like he's killing off another PK. What a moron.

#8 He lacks skating ability and any idea how to score a goal. Here he has yet a second chance to score on a shootout attempt and yet again he makes a fool of himself.

#7. When you combine the aforementioned lack of strength, skating ability, a willingness to fight, and bad decisions, nothing good can happen.

#6A. When he gets frustrated he takes it out on his own team. As soon as he gets the puck he wants to score, he's as competitive as they come. Unfortunately he sucks so when he sees a chance, he's going to take it and it really doesn't matter who it's for.

#6B. And here he decides it time for Fourfour to go so he comes up looking like Jose Bautista.

#5. Speed wobbles can't be good at a professional level. Some will say it's because of the hit. NO! He loses balance when he gets up to speed and he struggles.

#4 False sense of confidence in his atrocious shot. Here he's got a sure fire goal, and he decides that he needs to go bar down and make the TSN Honour Roll. Unfortunately he butchers the play completely and fires the puck way wide. Get off the ice, Gib!

#3 Cockiness. He thinks he can do it all and do it on one leg. It's borderline retarded.

#2 Star struck by his own team. Here he is, a healthy scratch, as Wingels gets ready for a big game he kindly acknowledges Gib who starts freaking out and giggling like a 5 year old. A little composure would be nice, Gib!

#1A. He sucks and he blows games for his team at the worst times.

#1B. He steals from little girls. Here is again, star struck, this time he steals a stick Partlow was giving to a young girl who had attended the game. What does Gib do? Steals it, followed by getting the shit kicked out of him and rightfully so.
