As much as I agree with this, did they just flick an Oiler switch? They've been one of the hardest working teams prior to the break. Maybe wives talk to some of them more. Who knows?? Maybe having had Christmas with the family and an irrelevant remainder of the season says something.
They should still be professional about it. Can't just be on a winning team to play hard. $ and crest matter too, you'd think. Teammates too.
