The Grand Plan; Accrue as much cap space as possible before the TDL.
The Quote; “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Mike Tyson
The Punches to the Mouth; Dual offer sheets, another poor training camp, the weakened D corps not holding, shaky goaltending, the leaders playing completely uninspiring hockey and a shooting percentage of 3%.
Can the Oilers play Rocky, climb off the mat a second year in a row and punch back? Or are they heading for a TKO in a prize fight they are expected to win?
Hopefully today’s Thanksgiving turkey doesn’t deposit too many tryptophans and make the boys drowsy. Perhaps they celebrated Thanksgiving early and that’s the excuse for the piss poor start?
Either way they can ill afford to drop Tuesday’s game to the Flyers. Going on the road 0-4 against Nashville then Dallas isn’t what Jeff Jackson had in mind when he devised his Grand Plan.
We are off to a Rocky start.
