McDavid injury - Upper Body, expected to miss 1-2 weeks.

[Hank Plank]

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.

Thanks Doc.

Thanks Doc.

Anytime

Back finally gave out after carrying so much dead weight year after year.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Maybe he got benched because he gave a D+ effort on that last shift. More coast than California.

He is Alaska or Florida, got it!

Ps- there’s all sorts of contention over how to properly measure a coast- tides and what actual units should be used, because how granular you get changes the results a shit ton. Idk, there was a Malcolm Galdwell podcast on it or some shit, idk where I pick up this nonsense.

It’s McOver

This is where Draisatl needs to prove he is actually the 2nd best player in the world and not a product of McDavid.

Carrying a team requires more than garbage time points

Lol, sure the players voted him mvp, the league voted him mvp, and won the Art Ross. Guess everyone in the league isn’t as smart as you.

Probably should start paying attention to more than just leaf players.

Matthews did that as well (just a rocket) I don't get what this comment is supposed to mean.

Which he’s done in the past.

For a very small sample size, where he paced for 82 points. Let’s not act like he was amazing when McDavid was out, his point production still dropped

I went with California because of the C. Realistically, he's more a Washington or Oregon. Mid-level coasting.

Always the lack of self awareness from a fan of a team that lives and dies on keeping Matthews and Marner together (with a healthy dose of Nylander too). Not that it's helped any of them or the Leafs.

Everytime you speak about Draisaitl you make a bigger fool of yourself. We know you don't watch the Oilers, stop pretending you do.

You didn't go with Canada? Hmm....

In all serious he's definitely coasting that shift but after watching the video a few times it looks like he can't push off from his left side at all, that probably has something to do with it. Hopefully it's nothing too serious, hockey as a sport is worse off when superstars aren't able to play

Now we get to witness Edmonton's legendary depth.

Matthews and Marner are by definition a Center/Winger by actual position played

Draisiatl and McDavid are by definition a Center/Center by actual position played

Your logic would work if Toronto also stacked centers on its top line

LTIR , saves cap space so the OIL can get a goalie and Dman at TDL, ( isn't that the new norm?)

Marner also put up 90 points in a season without being on a line with Mattews (his first breakout year with JT/Hyman).

More than likely precautionary to just sit out the rest

Give the hart to pasta .

Gotta have depth to do that


Oilers path to the playoffs looks significantly more rough if McDavid were to miss meaningful time that it would take to pull the LTIR “trick”

He’s out 2 to 3 weeks and the face of the NHL and the best player will miss the heritage classic. NHL can’t be too thrilled with that.

 

[Aashir]

That isn’t the worst, not like he’s out long term

Last time this happened draisaitl put up 12 in 6 and cemented the hart, Ross, Lindsay

Let’s see if he can do it again

Best player yes, Face of the NHL no.

Doubt the NHL really cares though
