I am expecting a good effort from the Oilers today. I heard Strudwick on Gregor's show talk about the game on Sunday and he said he thinks the Oilers will be going into this game with the mindset they owe the coach a good game or 2. In his opinion, Sunday's garbage effort had everything to do with the Oilers having their Halloween party Friday night. There were instagram pictures of McDavid in his costume on Friday so it happened. It was a 2pm game on Sunday. As Strudiwck said as a former player, these guys would have went out and partied it up because he knows. So you party are ass off Friday drinking and eating and into the wee hours of Saturday morning. Saturday is a complete write off. Then you wake up on Sunday, it's an early game so your routine is off and you probably don't feel 100%.
I am not a professional athlete. But I workout pretty hard Monday to Friday in a pretty high intensity class. When I have a weekend where I eat poorly and have a bunch of drinks on a Saturday night. That first workout on the Monday, I am feeling sluggish. These pro athletes are routine based. I am sure they eat and drink more healthy than I can imagine. They get more rest than I ever do. So I am sure when they upset that routine, it impacts them. In my opinion, what Strudwick said makes sense because watching those guys live, they just didn't have it. I don't begrudge them for having a fun night out. But as Strudwick said, they owe their coach a game or 2.
