I dunno…aggravating an injury after 7 minutes on the ice doesn’t really jive with “appears” not to be serious. Bowman is just trying to cover for his complete f*** up
Might be back tomorrow but likely Friday;What’s the outlook on McDavid playing Sunday?
Got tickets just to see him
Thankfully for Oilers fans, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman had some good news about McDavid's status on Saturday.
"The word is mid to late next week was the target," Freidman said of McDavid's return on Hockey Night in Canada's Saturday Headlines segment.
5. As some will recall, last Friday NHL insiders Bob Stauffer and Elliotte Friedman spelled out the possible timeline for the return of players. Here’s what they said:
Monday April 7 vs Anaheim Ducks (McDavid possible)
Wednesday April 9 vs St. Louis Blues (Ekholm possible) (McDavid likely)
Friday April 11 vs San Jose Sharks (Ekholm likely)
Sunday April 13 vs Winnipeg Jets (Draisaitl possible)
Monday April 14 vs Los Angeles Kings (Draisaitl likely)
Wednesday April 16 vs San Jose Sharks
With Philp’s recall I’m wondering if the Oilers have backed off on bringing back McDavid for Wednesday’s game. As for Trent Frederic — the fourth Oiler along with Draisaitl, John Klingberg and Mattias Ekholm to return in recent weeks only to again quickly go out with injury — who can say? Coach Kris Knoblauch did say he expects Frederic to be ready for the playoffs. But I no longer put a lot of weight in the return-from-injury timelines of the Oilers.
Exactly. If we lose the rest of our games with this depleted lineup, the whole premise of keeping McDrai fresh for the playoffs goes out the window.Jesus Christ this team is gonna miss the playoffs aren't they. Calgary will somehow win all their games at this rate while we ice an ahl line up.
If we can't beat the Sharks in one of the 2 remaining games, then we really don't deserve to be in the playoffs.Jesus Christ this team is gonna miss the playoffs aren't they. Calgary will somehow win all their games at this rate while we ice an ahl line up.
Jack said ill during the Broadcast but KK's comments after the game made me think diffrent.I missed the game, is he ill or hurt?
Maybe he'll dress as the backup?Noooooooo.
I’m legitimately sad.
Noooooooo.
I’m legitimately sad.
