I'm pretty excited about watching the Oilers get stomped in the 1st round. Regardless of who they play, the opposition will all have the same game-plan:
- Crash the net/Talbot
Talbot will have never experienced so many guys "accidentally" falling on top of him. The opposition will dig at Talbot at every whistle with the intent of causing a scrum, so that when pushed by a defending Oiler, they can fall on top of Talbot. The opposition will cut towards the net like never before, daring the defending Oiler to knock them off balance so that they can slide into Talbot at full speed.
I am still floored that Chiarelli never acquired a back-up at the deadline. Bishop could've been had for next to nothing.
