Salt of the earth has no reference to "saviour" whatsoever

I think you misunderstood the use of the term

A good hearted albertan redneck that loves the oilers. His low skilled hard working style lends itself to that term too

How many guys In Today world would request a trade from glitzy playoff competing LA to bottom feeder northern Alberta!!?

whatever, it's not important. It was just a joke. Over it

Ok, and im supposed to believe you're not calling him a saviour??? All i was saying which is fact, is that as a UFA, he opted for Colorado, not Edmonton. He only went back to Edmonton, when he was playing 4th line in LA, cause his career was basically over.....and was very outspoken about not liking big cities.

He snubbed the isles.......clearly my opinion of him is going to differ from yours. To you he's captain canada......to me he's cryin ryan.
