“Nobody should be walking around like our s*** don’t stink. We haven’t accomplished what we wanted. We’ve let ourselves, the team and the city down. We’re coming in here ready to compete.” —EDMONTON — Over the years, the optimism that accompanies the opening of an Edmonton Oilers training camp has taken on various forms.
“Whatever goes down must come up,” Hall said that day. “There’s a lot of excitement in this city, in the dressing room. Talking to players you can tell they’re very excited for the youth to come in, just get a new vibe in the dressing room. Us kids, we want to get in and make the biggest impact that we can.Ah, yes. They should be fine.
“You always come in with expectations, and optimism,” said Nugent-Hopkins, who greets Dave Tippett as his ninth head coach, and Ken Holland as his third general manager. In Nugent-Hopkins’ defence, there is clearly no point in succumbing to negativity. It only breeds more of the same, and any decent leader needs to project a positive attitude.
