We play 2 lowly teams back to back, both of whom will be playing their 2nd of a back to back, both of whom are not expected to make the playoffs, both of whom carry massive roster revamps from the offseason and both of whom we should beat handily on paper.
Given that the Oilers seemingly never start on time, almost always show up late to work, have a dog that always eats the homework and uses preseason to fart around for 90% of it, both of these games might be quite an adventure for the overwhelming Stanley Cup favourites who rock the Coyotes/Sharks D combo (lol) to start the season.
Yes the team will look a lot different at the TDL than it does today but the strategy of a bargain basement D is going to be challenged mightily until that time.
This weekend the team needs to hit the gas in their Lamborghini with the Canadian Tire tires, step out in their Armani suits with Crocs on their feet, and grab both games wearing their Rolex Oysters with the Presidents Choice batteries.
Curious if KK mixes up the top 2 lines today at practice and which game Skinner will start. I’m guessing he starts vs Chicago while Pickard gets the hated Flames.
My personal over under on total goals for the Oilers this weekend is 9, and total body checks thrown by the Oilers this weekend not counting Podkolzin is 20.
I shouldn’t be nervous for these 2 games but I am. I hope the Oilers have just showed up late to work this season and are now ready to get at it.
