Quiet you


Ya well… those Canadien teams would beat your Oiler teams!!!

(This is pure satire)

The 76 Canadien's against the 84 Oilers would be fun

The 76 Canadien's against the 84 Oilers would be fun

First to 3 touchdowns win

McDavid must be hurt, right? Oilers score 5 goals, yet zero points for McDavid. Hard to believe.

Definitely


Just look at that last PP the Oilers had

McDavid can’t even pass the puck right now, his injury has completely neutered his game

 

[Stelio Kontos]

I guess if we're just talking crazy hypotheticals we could always hope for the pre-cap casualty Bolts against the 80's Oilers.

3 years ago against 40 but go off bud

 

[Turin]

McDavid must be hurt, right? Oilers score 5 goals, yet zero points for McDavid. Hard to believe.

Starting to look like the only reasonable course of action is to sit McDavid and just pray the Oilers claw back into the picture until he's 100%. It's not looking good though, this is a pivotal year if they miss.

 

[sepHF]

Starting to believe less and less that he is hurt, I think that narrative as lasting too long. Guys just in a bad slump

You can tell just by watching him

His posture and everything is off

He has no agility right now

 

[DearDiary]

How many coaches is that now who considers Draisaitl to be a winger?

 

[Three On Zero]

You can tell just by watching him

His posture and everything is off

He has no agility right now

He still has game changing rushes, it just looks more mental to me

How many coaches is that now who considers Draisaitl to be a winger?

They all realize he needs McDavid

Ken Holland pocketing paper clips and keeping Styrofoam cups from now until he retires in April

You can't just arbitrarily put a limit in when we're playing with hypotheticals like that. Where's the fun in that? Live a little.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You mean McDavid ?

 

[34]

That was Edmontons best game of the year, one they should’ve won

The Oilers are bad.

 

[sepHF]

He still has game changing rushes, it just looks more mental to me

In a straight line he seems okay, but his lateral is busted

He looks laboured trying to turn or pivot and his hands just won’t do what he wants

I have seen almost every game of his career I am certain he’s injured

 

[Three On Zero]

The Oilers are bad.

They are better than this

 

[Quinton Byfield]

McDavid must be hurt, right? Oilers score 5 goals, yet zero points for McDavid. Hard to believe.

His skating looked as good as it usually is today at least in a straight line. But I think historically his numbers dip quite a bit without Draisaitl as his linemate. Knoblauch seems intent on keeping them apart, whereas Woodcroft would start the game with them apart and shove them back together a period later.

Drai might be injured too, his 1-T isn’t there this season which takes away a big threat.

The excuses have to stop evemtually.

That D and goaltending amongst the worst in the league.

McDavid experiencing the total body breakdown Vasilslevskiy mentioned last playoffs. His body failed him. Unfortunate it's happened so quickly to McDavid for carrying his team for all of his career. Vasy only had to carry for a few cup runs and had the hardware to show for it. LTIR McDavid and let him recover and play his final season as a Oiler. Free McDavid.

it happens dude, look at matthews last year

injuries sucks sometimes

Matthews shot didnt suddenly drop 5% over night, he needed recovery time. Now look at him this year

 

[ffh]

They are better than this

Are they

 

[Xirik]

Let it be known that Devils rool and Rangers drool!

 

[Three On Zero]

Are they

Yes

 

[Zirakzigil]

Yes

If his game is this predicated on his speed, and has neutered his game to this extent, then he won’t age as well as someone like Crosby, who has a much more complete game for a generational player.

Hockey players play through injuries all the time. McDavid’s body language is awful, terrible message to send to the rest of the team.
