It's going to be interesting to see how Hopkins shoulder holds up. They said at first he wasn't supposed to be back until November, but the Oilers "doctors" said he was good to go, and gave him clearance. Based on their track record they are the last people I would trust on injury advice; if anything it makes you think they rushed him back because of their issues at center and after starting the season with back-to-back losses.
They should be taking things very carefully with him, but it really doesn't seem like they are.
