How do you go from being injured for a long period of time to being cleared for a game and not even getting hurt by contact just literally skating. Team best be looking to find his replacement this offseason because there probably is a slim chance that he is a top four player next season.

When you have no injuries, there is nothing to treat. It’s like having a janitor to clean up the mess, but your guests are all Japanese and clean up after themselves before they leave.

Maybe because these guys have done nothing for the past three years, they forgotten how to do medical stuff.

Look I have zero and I mean less than zero faith in anything the Oiler front office does now. I used to be like you and support them no matter what but the utter incompetence they have shown the last two decades they’ve completely lost me. It’s massive mistake after massive mistake after massive avoidable preventable mistake.

Prove you are competent. Allowing player after player to return early only to aggravate the injury is not competency. I’m sorry. It’s just not. Trading and signing for players who are injured and those players cannot play is not competency. It’s just not.

And if management and players are pressuring medical staff to allow these trades and signings and returning early then they need to have medical staff with a spine.

If this were one or two isolated cases, then I would say yeah sure shit happens. But this has been a pattern since Jeff Jackson took over starting with Kane. Patterns have causation.

So if it’s the medical staff or management or whoever I really am past the point of caring anymore.

All I know is we have a pack of idiots running the show here and that has been proven time and time again.
I can vouch for this. 5 is somebody who once ripped my head off for saying Nicholburger was a drunken pickled buffoon. This poster has come around full circle. We used to argue about this stuff.

Now we agree on almost everything. heh

My guess is that it's an injury that requires surgery that they felt got as good as it could after taking weeks off, so were finding out if he'd be able to play through it or not. Obviously can't play through it at this point at least. I'm sure they're considering just shutting it down if they don't think it can improve more than it has up to this point.

This team beat the Kings with a top pair of an injured Nurse and Cody Ceci, they can beat those chumps
Its quite amazing how much the club has been doing with just 5 D. Surprised me, honestly. Nurse is playing his best hockey in years, Stecher fitting in fine, Booch back to production. Hopefully we get a D back from injury. The D we have left really earning their pay and I'm including Nurse in that.

Plus I expect Walman back and to have a nice impact for this team, don't forget about Kulak being great all year too.

Yeah. Not sure why Kulak has had so much criticism. He's been pretty much the same. When we have even 6D in lineup we seem to be reversing pucks like crazy. So much of this team aside from McDrai has stemmed from our backend.

Such disappointing news about Ekholm…

Hate to say it, but the best thing for this team might be an early exit and a long off season to recover their numerous injuries. I just don’t see this roster going far unless McDavid and Draisaitl go nuclear and carry this team even more than they already do

Hopefully Bowman stops trading for injured players and does a better job than JJ in free agency
