I've watched that play a bunch of times now, and it certainly seems like it was a skate cut, but it's hard to reconcile where, and which leg, with this report.

If it's the thigh like that tweet says, it would be his right thigh, but it doesn't look like the skate came up high enough, or close enough to Drouin's right leg.

Looked a lot more like it clipped the top of his left foot, or the bottom of his left shin, but he was pushing off with his left skate, and favoring his right leg as he went off.

Very strange play.

One other possibility? Follow the action after Drouin disengages. Frame by frame, it sure looks like Drouin falls on his own right skate. The play looks like a 'reverse slewfoot' where Drouin's left skate get kicked out from under him. He lunges forward very awkwardly. But watch his right ankle when it hits the ice. This better matches the location of thigh than anything that could have happened by the Jet.

Bingo. He sliced his left leg with his right skate, just above the knee.

Well done, sir. I watched that video several times and didn't see that.

 

[Metallo]

We now have video evidence that shows Drouin being a much much worse skater that Mikko. You all shut your pie holes about Bambi from now on.

So he cut himself when he fell down, but I thought he got hurt that’s why he fell by maybe twisting something in his leg

Not gonna work. Colorado doesn’t allow bags in the grocery stores anymore.

Unless you wanna pay for the bags(if available) you Better bring your bags in the store

Edit already discussed

I love to see him on the ice and I think he will play sometime in the future. However, I just am not confident it will be a long term solution that will allow him to play hockey for long.

He looks a lot more like a man in physical therapy than a man about to take violent high energy physical contact.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Certainly seems possible. Makes sense of the thigh location, when the Oilers skate did not.

But it has the same issue with the skate hitting the left leg. He was pushing with his left leg toward the bench and favoring his right. He took three strides with his left leg, and none with his right, including one behind him to avoid using his right leg.

Very convoluted set of circumstances.

Bingo. He sliced his left leg with his right skate, just above the knee.

That was after the face-off though.

I think either way, it's a safe bet he fell because the Oilers skate clipped him. The timing lines up perfectly and his leg looks like it moves a bit.

"Hold my beer" ~Gabe Landeskog, probably. He might just keep it in his hand during his first shift. Who knows.

Not even the zamboni out can get Landy off the ice.

just from these videos he looks at least a month away from being able to jump in a playoff series though

lol feels more like 16.35 days away for me

That's probably about right, to be honest.

We're about a week from the 1 year mark. That's the point where he should really start sprinting, cutting, changing direction, etc. If that goes well, noncontact practice. If that goes well, full practice. If that goes well, then maybe we try a game. Two weeks after the 1 year mark would be the earliest I would even hope for.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

In full equipment at team practice…

Same day… on separate rink with Kiviranta…



Again, same day today… working while the damn zamboni is trying to get him off the ice…



Oh, and this is only what media badge dudes are *allowed* to see and report. Also, the Avs official account posting him at practice for the first time.

Ignore the aggressive ramp up at your own will.

 

[Ceremony]

He's done.
