Very surprised there's not a thread on this already.

At the end of the Oil game yesterday, McDavid pulled up with an apparent injury and stayed on the bench through the last 4:20 of the 3rd as well as overtime (ended in a Jets win).

I didn't see the game, the only reason I know is because of random next day articles. Couldn't quickly find a video to show when it happened, Athletic thinks it's something muscular.




Anyone know anything? Woodcroft said there'd be an update today.

Also: at some point threads like this can turn into a "McDavid sucks" or "Edm sucks" or whatever, I'd ask ppl to not post those types of posts if possible -- personally am looking for the most current news and / or further context about this, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is. Mods feel free to lock the thread if things get too far out of hand.

Thx!

EDIT: found a video of Connor's last shift in the game, at 0:07 he grabs his left hip, then continues to skate for another 20 seconds or so, though to me it looks like he can't accelerate. Hopefully it's something as simple as a cramp rather than a full-on muscle tear

I hope he’s healthy and ready to join whichever team he picks when he bails in the oilers.

He's fine ... probably. If he was able to come back on the ice and test it before deciding to pack it for the night. it's likely nothing serious.
