How many goals for Ovechkin this season?

[BallardEra]

Hard to make this take. As a doctor and someone that tore their ACL but had it missed by multiple doctors, if you have enough musculature and it's loaded, you don't always see a full buckle or dislocation even in cases of a partial or full tear. It's obviously good to not see it but there's a reason that an anterior or posterior Drawer test might be negative in an athlete that avtuslly has a torn ACL or PCL.

I'm obviously not weighing in or saying for sure it is or isn't a tear based on the video, but just pointing out you don't always see an obvious buckling in even more severe knee injuries.

Sucks since he's been scoring and on pace to set it this year...

Dr. Recchi, is that you?

I’m joking. Appreciate the insight.

18, last year due to injuries piling up.

Ah yes. the PCL, anterior and musculature. Was about to post the same thing and I know all those words.

I think it is a good sign, OV is live and kicking...

Wish him well. Wanted him to get that magical 10- 50 goal year to solidify his greatest goal scorer title. Would settle for him hitting 39 at 39 after this injury.
