McDavid Crashes Into Net; Helped Off Ice

[McFlyingV]

Imagine criticising a guy who crashed into a post at 40km/hr for sitting calmly and getting helped off the ice instead of weight bearing through a potentially serious injury. You guys are pathetic.

 

[Coffey]

What? He literally had a blank look on his face looking at the trainer and scoreboard.

What are you even watching.

He was sleeping by 7gmt.

Good news for McDavid, but pretty soft to be carried off the ice for a non-significant injury.

LeBron James disagrees. Its always fine to hitch a ride off the playing surface.

 

[Moose Head]

I have no pony in this race and I know this was called a trip, but IMO seems to be more of a low bridge hit and should at least be looked at.

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Well it gave him an excuse to skip the Worlds apparently.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

The McDavid derangement syndrome is real.

Thank God he is alright.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Kind of true though. Lol he acted like he was decapitated.

He sat on the ice, calm, thought his leg was broken and said that to the trainer, calmly. Barely made a peep and got helped off the ice.

If being decapitated means absolutely no reaction cause his head is missing then you might be right.

I think that's premature.

Looked like a knee injury to me. Either way it's McDavid's legs that make him so dangerous. Terrible terrible thing to see.

Not to be a stickler (aka about to be a stickler lol), but its the super elite combo of legs, hands, vision and smarts. Huge blow though.

 

[romba]

Just rewound it, does appear to say "its broken".

"Isn't broken" would be pretty close to "it's broken" I would think.

 

[sepHF]

Kind of true though. Lol he acted like he was decapitated.

Really? He wasn't wincing in pain on the ice at all. I have seen guys flail around like they got shot when suffering similar injuries. McDavid was completely stoic what are you guys seeing?

Pittsburgh fans is this what it was like with Crosby? People just trying to find any reason to bash the player?

Technically a blank look would make sense for someone who was decapitated

He was looking at the scoreboard and calculating the possible outcome with him not in the lineup.

Then he realized they could easily beat them without him, so decided to take the rest of the night off.

On the topic of legs breaking, anyone see the gymnast incident today? Front flipping then breaking both legs outwards on the landing.

 

[Anomie2029]

Yeah Connor breaks his collar bone and doesn’t even look like he’s hurt. He slams into the post at 100MPH after having his feet taken out from under him. And all he did was hold his injured leg and talk to the trainer.

Guys like Crosby and Johnny take a light tap on the glove or leg and act like a sword just amputated a limb.

Actually Crosby is the one doing the amputation.. Just ask Methot.

 

[Anomie2029]

14 pages for a whole lot of nothing...McDavid went from "I thought my leg snapped in 2 pieces" to a negative X-ray and now to an MRI saying no damage.

That's not even what the Tweet says. The fact he would still be out a couple of weeks shows there is some damage.

I said no real damage

 

[Anomie2029]

I said no real damage

I literally quoted your post and it says 'now to an MRI saying no damage'.

I must have missed a word then.

Thread is about McDavid, not Crysby...

Oilers seek additional opinions on Connor McDavid injury - Sportsnet.ca

 

[Hynh]

On one hand, the Oilers are actually doing the right thing about an injury for once. On the other, what is so wrong with him that the Oilers are doing the right thing for once?

 

[Satire]

Good.

 

[Del Preston]

He was playing mini golf (heh) at West Ed today:

This would be an easy Oilers joke, but it's good to see that it doesn't look too serious if he's out and about like this.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

On one hand, the Oilers are actually doing the right thing about an injury for once. On the other, what is so wrong with him that the Oilers are doing the right thing for once?

And yet he's out golfing. If it's that bad, I figure he'd be like resting and off that leg, no?
