Injury Report: Infirmary [Nugent-Hopkins Day-To-Day (Foot)]

[Blue Line Turnover]

Damn, if I Hall is out, I will start cheering for another team. I'd hate to jump ship, but he's the heart and soul. How does one cheer for a living entity that has no heart?

Hall seem leaving building with no brace or crutches. Sounds like some nasty bruising that needs to settle.

That's good to hear, he's got Sunday and Monday to relax and then an extra couple days if they want to give him the Flyers off.

Rishaug from this morning:

Initial reports on Taylor Hall were good last night, but additional testing today will give them more information. Team is optimistic.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I'm going to the game in Buffalo on Friday. PLEASE be healthy by then.

Early indication is #Oilers Hall injury might be longer than day to day but isn't a serious one. Team will know more today with follow up.

Official oilers twitter:

Taylor Hall will remain in Edmonton and be evaluated by the #Oilers medical team.

 

[AJGass4]

Oh crap, they might diagnose him with a migrane.

 

[Ozolinsh_27]

His shoulders gone again :p

 

[AJGass4]

How did you come up with his shoulder?

Clearly he hit his thigh on that post and probably has a deep bone bruise. But knowing our medical staff, who knows what he'll be diagnosed with.

 

[metallicat]

That's the joke.

 

[Tyrolean]

Hall's the one guy you don't want out of the lineup. The other is RNH as we have no center strength.

 

[OnTheBrink]

Hold up Sabres and Canes I this is long term Oilers might be back in the Mcdavid sweepstakes.

Perhaps this shouldn't sound funny but....

Taylor Hall will be sidelined 2-4 weeks with an MCL sprain.

McDavid come on down

 

[McGlassbangers]

Season over.

Oh well, at least we get McDavid/Eichel.

Edit. At best he misses ~7 games and at worst he misses ~14 games.

Our next 14 games:

@ Flyers
@ Bruins
@ Sabres
@ Rangers
@ Predators
V Senators
V Coyotes
V Canucks
V Devils
V Blackhawks
@ Stars
@ Predators
@ Blues
V Coyotes

2-12 looks about right.

Nah I think Buffalo and Carolina still have that on lock, though I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona "miraculously" wins the lottery to get McDavid.

We'll probably pick 4 or 5.

Dylan Strome?

 

[NeverForget06]

Ouch. If the Oilers can stay out of the basement without Hall I would be absolutely shocked.

Buffalo will likely finish last. I think the Canes get rolling a bit.

But nobody should ever underestimate the tank masters.

 

[Beerfish]

Great we now have an excuse to fail. Other teams lose their top players and manage to keep things together, the oilers now have their guaranteed excuse.

 

[McJadeddog]

2-4 weeks pretty much ends our season in november.... well, at least it wasn't ending in october like last year.... just 5 more years and we'll make the playoffs at this rate! yay!

McDavid come on down

the thing about a MCL sprain, is that he'll be much, much, much less than 100% when he comes back as well... we're already in 2015-16 territory here... lol, all you can do is laugh at this point

as others have said, i somehow doubt we'll be able to finish lower than the sabres, but if the last decade has taught me anything, its this: never underestimate the oilers ability out-suck the rest of the league... additionally, if we finish 29th, then at least we'd have a very good shot at getting one of mcdavid or eichel

 

[Spawn]

Hall missed just over 2 weeks this same time last year with a knee injury.

Injured Oct 19, returned November 7.

Missed 7 games. Team went 2-4-1 during the span.

Now is the time for some of the other players to step up with Hall out. The team has the depth on the wings that they should be able to deal with Hall being out for ~10 games or so.

Yakupov, Eberle, Perron... time for these guys to get it done.

 

[metallicat]

I predict this team comes together and has a good run withOut Hall this time around.
