celebrates his 16th goal of the season in Sunday's game against the Penguins (Photo courtesy of Getty Images). I must admit on trade deadline day last year when Steve Tambellini was wheeling and dealing. Myself and the rest of the media sat in a Chicago hotel lobby and were informed that the Oilers had picked Ryan Jones's 22 and Dustin Penner's 21 goals would be more than the sweet 16 Jones has p football results ut up. It's not only how many but how he gets them. Nothing fancy just heads up hockey with a feverish work ethic and a knack for getting his nose dirty around the net. He may have modern day hair but Jones is a throwback in the way he plays. He kind of reminds me of Ryan Smyth. Can't quite score like him or deflect pucks like him but between being able to grow a flowing head of hair he keeps his football results game simple and effective just like 94 used to.When he arrived in Edmonton last year he got kneed by Derek Boogard and missed 12 games. As a result he only played in 8 games. Then in camp this year he had a back problem and so he was limited in what he could do and how much he could play. This wasn't exactly a banner start to the career of Ryan Jones.Author: Gene Principe football results
