McDavid Crashes Into Net; Helped Off Ice

[BruinsBtn]

Stupid play by a stupid player in a meaningless game.

Giordano's an idiot.

It looks like Gio trips him but McDavid actually catches his stick

 

[TheGuiminator]

Hope for him that the knee injury doesn’t slow him down

He'd be in alot more pain if it wasa broken leg.

Hope it's just a knee sprain or something.

What a dirty uncalled for play by gio

 

[rodney dangerfield]

didnt look that bad in the gif tbh.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

He had no chance of making a poke check there. Just threw is hands into McDavid's skates

So he should've just backed off completely?

Bud, go through the thought process here. You're Giordano, the game is tied, and the world's fastest player is bearing down on you and about to blow by. You're just gonna let him go?

It was fast, and it was an accident. There's no reason that Gio would want to take out McDavid at all.

 

[Ctrain2k]

Wasnt a dirty play just an unfortunate accident.

He dove right into his legs, I don’t think it was intentionally dirty but it definitely was. Just a really stupid play.

Im sure it's not a broken leg. He would have been screaming. It's his knee and i think it happened when his legs collided, not when his leg hits the post.

McDavid sat on the bench until the period ended when he broke his collar bone.

Its McDavid though. When he got absolutely crushed and separated his shoulder that first year he skated off like it was nothing. He must have a massive pain threshold.

 

[Canadienna]

Undoubtedly his leg. You could see where it hit the post, and where he was holding it in pain. It was 6 plus inches below the knee.

Well I'm not the one claiming to know for sure what his injury is.

Also it's the hyper compression of the knee that made me think knee injury, not the location of the impact on the post.

 

[Pens x]

Yea I don’t see Gio doing anything wrong here.

Best of luck to McDavid. Sadly a fitting end to a disastrous season.

 

[CauZuki]

He'd be in alot more pain if it wasa broken leg.

Hope it's just a knee sprain or something.

He plays for the Oilers so I'm pretty sure he has a high tolerance for pain.

 

[North]

I wouldn't go that far, but he dove right into his feet completely missing the puck.

Which is dirty as f***. Knee-ordano is looking for other ways to take people's legs out.

Dude broke his collar bone got up grabbed his stick and sat on the bench without even wincing

 

[RipsADrive]

Wtf does Gio think he's going to accomplish there. Stupid unnecessary play injures the game's best player in a meaningless game.

Wonder if the NHL will finally stick up for McDavid. Suspend him for a playoff game.

 

[JPeeper]

lol @ anyone who says this should be a suspension or is in any way a dirty play.

It's a trip, it happens literally every game.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Gave me flashbacks of Stamkos breaking his leg a few years ago.

Hoping for the best for him.

 

[Hank Plank]

What a dirty uncalled for play by gio

This is so ridiculous.

 

[KCC]

I mean, he broke his collarbone and wasn’t screaming in pain.

 

[boredmale]

Somebody wants an excuse to avoid the World Championships.

 

[Tkachuky]

Let’s ignore the fact that McDavid grabs his stick and Gio goes harder into McDavid.

 

[8LX7psQ]

I can't understand anyone who thinks that play was anything but a complete accident

It was so fast

Think on it for a moment, you'll sort it out.

 

[Kale Makar]

Im sure it's not a broken leg. He would have been screaming. It's his knee and i think it happened when his legs collided, not when his leg hits the post.

In what world would his legs banging together be the more likely cause of injury than his leg slamming into a metal post?

 

[koyvoo]

You could see him say to someone on the ice "its broken" if you can read lips. Had to be taken off the ice with zero pressure on it.

 

[illpucks]

If he broke his leg, it makes no sense because the net dislodged. And the reason the net dislodged was because of the Stamkos incident and to prevent players at high speed breaking their legs from crashing into the post. So it makes no sense to me if that McDavid would break his leg because the NHL made changes after the Stamkos incident to intentionally make nets easy to dislodge.
