Team is shit, coach is shit, defense and goaltending is non-existent and shit and he's probably still hurt a bit.

Anakin spoke very highly of you.

Playing injured

Tell him thank you and that I will join him in the force soon if the Oilers continue to play like this.

 

[jcs0218]

The Oilers brought McDavid back while he was still injured because their season was circling the drain very quickly.

I am not sure that was smart though. They play in a very bad division so they could afford to get off to a brutal start.

 

[who_me?]

this is the end product of a decade of tanking for No.1 picks

complete loser mentality and team culture

You don't really want an answer, do you ?

 

[ViD]

Is this a joke ? 9 points in 7 games is just fine

 

[Three On Zero]

He’s very much injured, he’s not even taking faceoffs

 

[Oleksiak]

Laziness and lacks the character to battle through the struggles.

 

[Mr Kot]

Being worked to death.

This but also that's just oiler life. To pay for the 80's, they need fresh souls. No even McDavid is immune.

 

[Fatass]

Best player we’ve seen in (maybe?) forever. He is likely playing hurt. Plus, no way he can win on his own.

 

[Emperoreddy]

He is playing hurt, but even a hurt McDavid is better then a huge chunk of the league and the entire Sharks roster

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Possible mental fatigue.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened earlier and they've willed through it for years. I don't think it's sustainable for any player including the great ones to keep motoring through when things are falling apart around them.

You will eventually get weighed down by it.

Good wording.

It's a genuine question

 

[centipede2233]

A crappy ownership, with crapper management, with a crappy first time coach and crappy defence. No, I’m not talking about Toronto either.

 

[Video Nasty]

The guy plays through injuries, unlike Crosby.

 

[Love]

He’s obviously injured. And any amount of regression from McDavid’s normally hyper elite play is detrimental to the Oilers success.

 

[Three On Zero]

The issue with a hurt McDavid is it also means Draisaitl struggles. It’s like an all or nothing situation right now with them

The guy plays through injuries, unlike Crosby.

McDavid also isn’t constantly getting his head targeted, big difference

 

[ViD]

People saying he’s playing hurt, why in the world would the Oilers play him hurt ? If he gets a season ending injury, their season is a wrap

 

[GrumpyKoala]

It's a genuine question

He usually dont have explosives season starts and he hurt, was playing as a winger today.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

He’s not 100% but the Oilers depth will pick up the slack.
