oilers were lucky they put conditions on the first rounder they traded. It will be still be funny if they end up trading say 20th overall pick (2025) for the 32nd overall pick(2024)

Didn't even attempt to play one shift after... flying home... none of this seems encouraging!

Since none of this makes me happy.. it's almost funny that Lavoie may have finally gotten a crack at the roster in a meaningful way and is in Hendersonville.lol

It'll most likely be Philp but my vote is Savoie. 3 or 4 points in 5 games. RNH and Drai should be able to carry 1C and 2C temporarily.

Honestly if I were an Edmonton fan—I wouldn’t be that upset if McDavid has to miss time.

Last season was a long grind to recover from their poor regular season start. And they had a long, hard playoffs on top of that too.

McDavid and Draisaitl probably each need a long rest at some point to get ready for another playoff run.

He's one of the main reasons they make playoffs. You don't want a 4-5 record then a mcdavid-less slump and then he has to come rally the troops again like last year. Then again, he's capable of anything.

Hopefully it's just a week or so. Having injured ankles over the years, which sucks if that's your job, I'm glad he's looking out for himself. I'd guess it's a bad sprain.

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. :huh:
Lifetime suspension to that specific part of the board in Columbus.

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.
There was definitely a trip but so what?

It was a missed penalty and a freak injury out of it?
