08:28 AM ET 08.09 | If it wasn't for bad luck when it comes to injury, Taylor Hall wouldn't have any at all. Hall expects to be ready for opening night, if the season goes ahead as scheduled, and believes his repaired shoulder will make him better than he ever was before. "There were games last year where it would get hurt in the first period and for the rest of the game I wouldn't really be able to do much." ... Why not have surgery two months earlier, putting an end to his chronic pain and guaranteeing he'd be at full strength for the start of training camp? "It was my choice," he said. "There were times last year when [GM Steve Tambellini] and the medical staff sat me down and said listen, you should probably have surgery right now. I didn't want to do that."

Good thing he had the surgery. Pretty tough to hoist the Cup with a bad shoulder.

LMAO! And true. I like the way you think W2. I've got to start being more positive. I'll start planning for an Oiler-Cap Cup Final.
