We wont see a full healthy roster this entire season

 

[MMC]

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

Maybe confirms the speculation on these boards that he was playing through a nagging injury

 

[Static]

Our 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 prized first round picks out of the lineup. Rebuild is going great!

 

[Rybread86]

Getting hurt on break now? Or maybe Mac was just never right.

Have to wonder if maybe McT took the break to do some treatment on whatever injury was still nagging him and hes just not quite done with treatment or fully recovered and just needs a few more days.

 

[Henrique Iglesias]

We wont see a full healthy roster this entire season

I think you're right.

The Oilers on the other hand have stayed remarkably healthy. I saw a guy on X post the other day that they had the same D pairs for 41 straight games. Have we gone 4 games with the same 6 D dressed?

McDavid missed a couple games at the beginning of the season. Other than that, no one significant has missed games.

Hate to say it, but if they can continue to stay healthy, they'll be a tough out in the playoffs.

Mac was never right when he came back from that last injury.

 

[Reveille1984]

I'll be there tonight, will probably have to get plastered before puck drop to endure the shellacking

Better than 5 of the last 6 like it was a month ago?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

His back is killing him.. Wont be surprised if has disk issues or elects to get surgery...

 

[HanSolo]

Probably best to shut him down as long as he needs to fully recover but this sucks.

 

[MMC]

Only 3 home games all month, damn

 

[McDonald19]

I’m at Noble Ale Works. Getting started already.

 

[Ducks DVM]

We are starting the 4th line, Lybushkin, and Fowler.

Ok

 

[Ducks DVM]

 

[GunnarStahl]

Anyone else find it ironic that the Offsprings most famous song is “the kids aren’t alright” and Zegras, McTavish, Mintyukov and Luneau are all not alright.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

We are starting the 4th line, Lybushkin, and Fowler.

Ok

tbh, I like Fowler-Lyubushkin over Fowler-Lindstrom, which was the practice pairing yesterday from Derek Lee.

 

[ScarTroy]

McDavid almost put us on worldstar there

 

[Ducks DVM]

tbh, I like Fowler-Lyubushkin over Fowler-Lindstrom, which was the practice pairing yesterday from Derek Lee.

That’s sorta like saying a kick to one testicle is preferable than a kick to both. I mean, you’re not wrong, but ideally neither ever happened.

 

[slippingsloth]

Why does it take us 5 min to touch the puck after every penalty

 

[Ducks DVM]

Did that slash not hit all stick?

 

[duxfan1101]

Did that slash not hit all stick?

The impact was definitely on the stick, then it kind of rode up the stick and touched the hand. Definitely a softer slashing call.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Why does it take us 5 min to touch the puck after every penalty

I am both impressed that we managed to get a line change, and shocked that we didn’t manage to get a to get a too much man call.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Good kill

 

[Hockey Duckie]

That’s sorta like saying a kick to one testicle is preferable than a kick to both. I mean, you’re not wrong, but ideally neither ever happened.

Yes, but still better than what we got last year!
