Can we get an update on McDavid body language though?
At some point the odds are that Edmonton will finally get lucky and have some of these inexpensive rookies and players make an impact. Virtually every team seems to get surprise production from guys nobody saw coming, except the Oilers.
At some point it has to happen, right?
Videos from August 1. Go to the third one.
Four weeks later and now he can't even do that?
I dunno, that's what one of the actual doctors on here posted fairly soon after the injury. Said something along the lines of (and this obviously isn't a direct quote) "these injuries take between 12-18 months to fully heal, but that every injury is different". Other people had posted similar things by simply looking up the injury on the internet, although I don't know how accurate those comments were. I did a very quick Google on it and literally clicked the first link (happened to be Harvard), and they said 4-12 months depending on the severity. I dunno man, I'm just repeating what others have said, I obviously don't know any more about it than anybody else. The team said 5 months, but that would be a guess, so I don't think we're really that far out if it takes 6 months. Is a 20% difference really that much when it comes to healing time? I wouldn't think so.
So someone who claims to be a doctor on HF Boards is your source? Thats suspect in and of itself but just curious....how does that equate to most people?
When you make a dubious claim and use definitive wording then you shouldnt be surprised when you get called out...just saying.
And it’s always absolute worst case scenario. And beyond worst case.Jadeddog has an injury fetish.

"It's that Lucic? Nope... it's Mcdavid!"

Pffft! It's manageable
Not sure why my post was deleted for 'no proof' when the proof was literally two posts up, quote from his agent.
His agent and Holland are both stating they're unsure if he will be on the opening night roster let alone training camp, but you guys would rather listen to a quote from a guy who got it from another guy who was at a camp with McDavid where he looked 'amazing'. I mean, every piece of video evidence and evidence from the Gary Roberts camp suggests he is still unable to do much skating out there. The video Del Preston linked , he is turning corners literally like Lucic. He isn't anywhere near game speed and seeing him make those turns at that speed in comparison to his past training videos when he was healthy are staggering.
I understand wanting him to be good to go, but everything points to him being very far out.
