Around the NHL: Part V – Nice Try, Sabres (or, Playoffs?!)

[Oscar Lindberg]

Something is broke

If you watch the video he says it himself

Poor guy, he needs to get out of the purgatory that is Edmonton

 

[nevesis]

Feel so bad for McDavid...that looked brutal.

 

[nevesis]

This looks serious man. I'm sick to my stomach right now. Anyone ever has blown their knee our knows. Hope he is ok

I think it's more a leg fracture, tibia/fibula or something. Either way, f***ing horrible. Hope he's ok.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lucky for him it looked higher on the leg than Stamkos'.

He'll have 6 months to heal.

That's if there was no serious soft tissue structural damage

 

[nyrage]

If we're all guessing, I think it was a patella injury, not ligament damage. It's hard to tell from tv, but he didn't twist his knee nor was his skate planted. Looked like blunt force to the kneecap. Maybe broke tibia.

This would be worse than the fractured tibia.

Other thing to note is that they didn't cart him off.

Is there a video of the incident? Would hate to see such a great player have his career derailed by anything with permanent limitations.

[Fitzy]

Damn. Yeah hopefully it's just a upper shin injury and not knee damage.

 

[aufheben]

Such an Oilers thing to happen.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Dallas v. Nashville in round 1. Need Bishop to play out of his mind and Zucc to Zucc for them to have a chance.

 

[FoxyClean]

20 minutes to go. Oilers can allow 1 goal at most. Unless they plan to score more.

 

[Leetch3]

i hope the oilers lose in regulation because eff us

 

[darko]

Looking at that McDavid video to me it looks more shin than the knee.

 

[Edge]

Cmon Oilers, hold it together.

 

[nyrage]

oh yeah! 3-1

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

hellloo Nurse!

 

[nyrage]

It feels so pathetic to once again root for the Oilers at the end of the regular season, but that's all I got I guess except trying to hold on to my Roto league lead.

 

[bl02]

3-1 Oilers. Keep it up. Jets winning ugh

 

[EdJovanovski]

Maybe it turns out McDavid was the cancer all along

 

[Machinehead]

Detroit lost 7-1.

You can say "well, the team isn't gonna go out there and tank" but...

 

[nyrage]

Maybe it turns out McDavid was the cancer all along

Ha. While being sarcastic, have you noticed that Leon Draisaitl hasn't scored since McDavid was out? Hmm

 

[Ghost of jas]

3-1 Oilers. Keep it up. Jets winning ugh

St. Louis was very good this year against Winnipeg. If Dallas can get by Nashville, and St. Louis plays the Jets like they did during the regular season, you could end up with St. Louis/Dallas in round two. And Dallas played well against STL this season.

 

[Machinehead]

Nashville won so that's nothing more than home ice at this point.

Not losing sleep over it.
