Seriously though, apparently Quinn is re-doing the game plan with these guys. Going over some basic plays.

From OilersNation:

“I’m not copping out here, but we had one practice day before we played an exhibition game,” Quinn said. “Never have I not had time to instil the basics. I had more time going to the Olympics than I did with this team.

“We’ve been working at bringing the system of play in… you saw us 15 minutes at the board at one time, asking questions we’ve been talking about for three months. You think, holy smoke, we’ve been working on this for three months? What have we missed here? We’re going to do some work.”

apparently the oilers are going to do a mini-camp this week/weekend

I wonder if this means that every player needs to re-fight for their spot on the team again?

Racki: For the young kids, its nice that they actually have the option of playing these kids in the AHL. I’d like to see them get a chance here, but yes, a bit of AHL time would be nice.
Also, I just realized tomorrow’s game is PPV…. passsss.

PPV???? LOL. What a smart move putting a PPV game on at the same time as the WJHC gold metal game and a PPV game against the Coyotes of all teams. I do not know how many people they need to order the game to break a profit but I suspect that they will be losing money on this one. I doubt even the bars will be showing this one.
