It's Oilers tradition. Shoulder injuries for forwards, feet/lower body injuries for defenseman, and psyche injuries for goalies.
wow, I had no clue Larsson was on McDavid's level of importance
holy relax
Let's see if Chiarelli is a competent GM unlike our previous circus and actually gets some help on D if Larsson is indeed gone for an extended period of time.
The last time the Oilers were in playoff contention this late into the year was 2009...the year Visnovsky went down at the start of February and, despite Derek Morris being on the block, Tambellini did **** all.....he was content with having Jason Strudwick as a regular fixture on the blueline.
If Larsson was that bad, they would've called Oesterle yesterday, in my opinion

I wasn't very clear.
I meant that if Larssons injury was that bad, Oesterle would have been called up a day earlier. I say this because I think they would've had a completed assessment by then.
That's good news. I wonder if the Oeseterle recall isn't for Russell then. He did take that shot off the hand.
My worst case scenario switch was definitely flipped here.
Glad he's back in. I like Benning but we need to keep him down the lineup.
Russell is in the optional skate too so I don't know. Could have been precuationary.
