James Neal’s hard-nosed personality could aid Golden Knights

CALGARY — Jimmy is a unique sort of fellow.

Jimmy’s new team embarrassed his old one Monday night.

James Neal was always supposed to be a rental for the Golden Knights last season, a veteran scorer selected in the expansion draft who was about to enter unrestricted free agent status and who could be used to land draft picks or prospects (or both) from a playoff contender at the trade deadline.

Nobody imagined Neal would last the entire year with Vegas.

Then history happened.

That seems eons ago, because I’m pretty sure Calgary just scored again.
