from Robert Tychkowski of the Edmonton Sun,
It’s like being stuck on an over-crowded elevator. With people you don’t like. For two months.
The Western Conference stretch drive is no place for the claustrophobic.
With six points separating fifth and 13th place heading into last night’s games, you’ve got nine teams trying to cram into four spots like fat clowns in a Volkswagen.
Every game is do or die. Every road trip is the biggest road trip of the year.
Lose two in a row, it’s the end of the world. Win two in a row and you’re flying Jaromir Jagr over from Russia.
So, as the Oilers open the… wait for it… biggest road trip of the year—four games in six days in Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Dallas—they’re quite prepared for the emotional volatility that will be tracking them every step of the way.
