Connor McDavid injured vs. Blue Jackets, won't return (upd: out 2 to 3 weeks)

[Three On Zero]

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.

Trip and suspend himself? I think getting hurt from losing his footing is enough. No need to penalize McDavid anymore

 

[Video Nasty]

Hopefully Drai and the Oilers do their part, so McDavid isn’t rushed back early again. Not a promising start.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Let's hope it's not a high ankle sprain. They linger and affect skating. Crosby's skating was never quite the same after his.

 

[Stelmacki]

Not sure if serious

Sadly, that poster is dead serious.

Are you talking about the Oilers or Florid

Are you talking about the Oilers or Florida?

Consensus on HF was that Oilers had the deepest forward group after the signings

 

[3074326]

It's time for Draisaitl to prove that he can handle the #1C role without McDavid padding his stats.

It's difficult to understand how anyone still feels this way in 2024.

 

[MikeyMike01]

What a shame

 

[Paddys Pub]

He got tripped. Be for real. Pathetic post is pathetic.

The refs disagree with you.
That was a dive through and through

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Looks like a High ankle sprain. 6-8 weeks

Meh I hate McDavid and think he’s a diver and goes down real easy, but that was a trip.

I feel gross

 

[Bankerguy]

Oilers are a two player team, with one of them injured, they'll play .400 hockey until he's back

Apparently they have the deepest group of forwards in the league

Philadelphia will receive a first-round pick in 2025 if Edmonton's first-round pick in 2025 is outside of the top twelve selections. Otherwise, the pick will defer to 2026.[82]

For those curious about the conditions of the oilers first round pick. That is right---Best case for us and worse case for the oilers, oilers might end up trading the 13th overall pick in the 2025 for the 32nd pick in 2024

 

[eojsmada]

Could be the same knee that he wrecked and never had surgery for. Hard to tell. Considering he's going back to Edmonton for evaluation isn't great news for Oilers fans.

 

[Acallabeth]

McDavid surely wants a Cup, and if winning it means sitting out a season to have additional 12.5M in the roster space for the playoffs, he'll do it. Won't call it an asterisk cup too.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Tried diving to draw a penalty and it turned out badly for him. Maybe this will be a painful lesson to him that his refusal to play like a man has consequences.

You should find a new/funnier shtick

 

[KapG]

Of course he gets injured the year I get to draft him in my money hockey league. Cool cool

 

[WestCoast CyberG]

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

“…and the 2024/25 Draft Lottery goes to…. the Edmonton Oilers”

Just to piss the rest of the league of it would be hilarious.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

He will be back in 1 to 3 weeks.

Draisaitl about to go beast mode.

 

[hangman005]

Of course he gets injured the year I get to draft him in my money hockey league. Cool cool

So it's your fault

 

[Zalos]

He is day-to-day with a lower body injury. Relax.

 

[Three On Zero]

He is day-to-day with a lower body injury. Relax.

AKA the worst prognosis for a hockey injury

 

[Hank Plank]

Bob stove top stuffing Stauffer says Connor has a very high pain threshold so 97 will be back after missing 2-3 games.

“…and the 2024/25 Draft Lottery goes to…. the Edmonton Oilers”

Just to piss the rest of the league of it would be hilarious.

They would have to consider rebuild instead of extending this window if that happens.

 

[Dirty Dan]

maybe was sore and when it was 3-0 early just decided to not risk it
