GDT: Game #78: Blues @ Oilers - 8 PM - SN1

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Yeah. I should've mentioned outside light sensitivity and in general. The light sensitivity is killer, especially with the eye dilating drops but even week or two after I was light sensitive. Bummer for this time of year.

Hopefully they did tell you to avoid too much sun initially. whatever you do don't rub your eyes.

Yeah and I wore sunglasses whenever it was sunny out. I keep them on if my eyes hurt but I’m past the precaution stage. I’m hoping this is a blip and things are back to normal in short order. I’ve got an appointment lined up in two days if it’s not but so far I’m feeling better.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Given this organization’s history and the fact that Knob said literally this morning that they were maybe a week away, hard to feel like they’re not rushing Mcdavid back.

 

[brentashton]

If we win Knoblauch should win the Jack Adam's lol

But they want him fired in the other thread!?!?

 

[Mr Positive]

Actually it sounds like the opposite if Gazzola is to be believed. McDavid is rushing himself back.

Also, don't forget that McDavid has a long history of faster and better injury recovery than the average player.

I just do not believe that the team or the players would be in panic mode. McDavid also understands this. The playoffs are what matters. We aren't missing them

 

[BlackDogg]

Holloway 6 goals just because Oilers

 

[tardigrade81]

McDavid is back. Hell yes.

 

[KlefDown]

I love Connor for trying his best to be there for his teammates when they are so many bodies short but the medical staff needs to do their jobs and a complete due diligence on his health before clearing him.

Let’s hope TD Forss and co don’t bend over and give in, be hated short term to be thanked later on

 

[brentashton]

Out for for the remainder of the reg season I thought.

 

[KlefDown]

Weren’t there reports that TD Forss was pressured to clear Draisaitl from management and coaching? Look what happened to him

 

[bellagiobob]

 

[BlackDogg]

April fools?

 

[Heavy Dee]

I guess they know they need a couple wins

[Zerotonine]

Mcdavid wants his 100 pt season

 

[Messrules11]

I’m glad McD is back, Oiler hockey without him and Drai is painful to watch.

 

[GMofOilers]

suddenly he's 100%? I have my doubts

Bob was saying this at 4pm, he was one of the first ones off the morning skate(which is normal), ready to go

Read that myself today. Actually story I read , they fear it could be a serious injury

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

regarded coaching staff and management likely forced him back, just like they did with Frederic

 

[GMofOilers]

Has anyone watched him skate? Hes been at full speed since NY, oilers were the ones saying its 1 week to return an kept him out for 3 weeks.

then why not tell us all he's ready to go this morning? Knob said he'd be another week

 

[CycloneSweep]

After the TDL your only allowed 4 callups I think is the difference. Either way it’s stupid when Dallas will be something like 20 mil over the cap in a weeks time.

It’s so at end of the year teams don’t just sit most of their roster and call up the AHL team

 

[GMofOilers]

Knobs been lying to the media since these injuries have started.

He owes fans nothing in the mornings

 

[The Panther]

I’m glad McD is back, Oiler hockey without him and Drai is painful to watch.

I can't even watch the games without McD, Drai, and Ekholm. It's really, really boring.

Can you imagine being McD and Drai, sitting in the press box, watching the club without them (with a 5- and a 12-goal scorer on the top line), and thinking, "This... is the team they've built for us after 10 years."

 

[Shizuka]

So McDavid is having to come back early because the rest of these sad sacks can't squeeze out a victory to clinch. If he gets re-injured, there are going to be a hell of a lot of fans cursing a blue streak at everyone in the organization. They had better not have any passengers tonight, and these useless plugs throughout the lineup had better step in to protect him.. since they aren't doing much of anything else.

No I believe he said McDavid was day to day but could take as long as a week
