Sorry to chime in on the injury thread… but isn’t everyone reacting to a tweet that went out at 5:52pm… as in end of first period… as in this was “off the cuff” and not post game
Not saying it’s not a high ankle sprain (or whatever else) but this seems to be a comment that everyone is taking as late last night new information?

Who knows? Frank Seravalli said today two weeks minimum is what he’s expecting, but it’s all speculation. I just post stuff that’s out there for public consumption for the forum for the injury thread.
By the way, and with all due respect, you have a disgusting forum name.

Whatever the injury is I hope Mcdavid doesn’t rush coming back. The team should be good enough to stay in the hunt until then.

If a mediocre (by his standards) McDavid is the difference between them being a contender and a playoff team, they weren't good enough anyhow.
This is a sport that relies more on the entire team than almost any other (especially with the push for league parity / parody to give scrubs more opportunity to obstruct and interfere to level the playing grounds).
It's a lazy and tired (outsider) narrative that this is a one man team. One man teams don't make the Conference Finals twice in 3 years and don't make game 7 of the Finals. Unless that one man is a f***ing goalie or some shit, maybe.

This will be a blessing in disguise. Not that the team is better without him or I want him injured but it will force the players to get back to basics. 3-5 games isn't be all end all anyways......unless we only win one, in that case, we're f***ed lol.

The Team has had a rough start and the penalty kill that was incredible during the playoffs disappeared. The whole team seems out of synch for some reason. Maybe McDavid's injury will cause them to recalibrate....
