Looked like a nothingburger wipeout from the one angle provided, maybe a trip?? but injuries are weird like that especially as one approaches their 30s...

Blatant intent to injure, should be a suspension but there wasn't even a penalty. And here the league can't figure out why ratings are cratering into the basement.

Somehow this is Darnell Nurse’s fault

i could see the Oilers missing the playoffs if McDavid is out longterm

 

[nabob]

Did they give Hyman or Perry a goalie interference penalty on this play just to rub it in?

Suspend the ice crew?

Not his fault on the goals. Tough to stop deflections 10 feet from in front of your net.

Dach’s injury last year was weird like that. Even tried to skate it off. But nope, blew out his knee. Hopefully not that serious.

It's okay

McDavid won't win shit there if they dare give Skinner a modest raise.

And this is coming from probably one of the more optimistic people on this website when it comes to the Oilers cup chances and window. They'll destroy it paying Skinner more than they're paying him now.

I was also once a Skinner apologist and one of the last to turn against him. After last playoffs and the start to this season I am a Skinner atheist.

Not sure why everyone has problems seeing the trip, it's the Blue Jacket by the bench who just stands there and reaches out his stick to hook McDavid's skate.

Huh? Weird. Really hope it's not one of those nothing looking plays that is worse than it looks.

It's A LOT of his fault how bad he's played since the playoffs started. No need to cherrypick goals from one period, when his run of bad play started a while back, and he's been abysmal in the playoffs every year so far.

The Sillinger goal looked bad? Maybe that was a deflection off an Oiler. Won't be able to get a better look at that until the full game highlights are up after the game ends. For some reason the NHL app made goal videos only 10 seconds long at some point last year, with no replays or other angles.

Imagine being the guy who loves an injury to a player.

Pretty ugly. Obvious left leg injury. Ankle or knee

Likely out a while

Nah, Brad Marchand.

Even that doesn't look that bad. Especially the fact that he got right up. Weird

Not sure why everyone has problems seeing the trip, it's the Blue Jacket standing by the bench who jus stands there and reaches out his stick to hook McDavid's skate.

Because they can't stand McDavid is in Edmonton, same as Bettman/the American owners. If they want to build their sport on markets who don't care when they don't have a winner, that's fine, but then the Canadian teams should be told the truth. This league wouldn't exist without them and it would be hilarious to watch them try.

Left leg into the boards pretty bad. Let's hope it's precautionary.

 

[Bocephus86]

Am I watching the same clips? I'd hate to see that kind of talent hurt, but it feels like he's a bit embarressed (like my attempt to spell that word, always) and now he has to stay out for it?

 

[kingsholygrail]

He was so close to 1000pts.

Thanks for the slow motion clip. Feel bad for Connor and Oiler fans, that should have been a 2 minute minor. Get why refs missed it, given how they call games
