McDavid Crashes Into Net; Helped Off Ice

[madmike77]

Likely just playing it safe. It’s better to make sure they’re doing everything they need to do now than to find out early in preseason that he needs a procedure that costs him a few weeks.

Given the amount of time from the injury, even with MCL and ACL damage, he could still walk around and play minigolf.

That brace tells me it is ligament damage.

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

Over/Under on how many medical professionals on HF diagnose what's wrong with him based on a picture.

Having torn my MCL, that lean he's doing is reminiscent of when I tried to "go out and do normal things again" and basically leaned on anything to take the pressure off.

The good thing is doctors are fantastic these days, Malkin f***ed up his knee and came back fine.

Not for nothing but somebody who wants out of Edmonton wouldn't be putting around the WEM mini golf course.... that place is an absolute nightmare..... every parent who likes to let their child wander around and play whatever hole they please goes there...

On a more serious note... nice that management is actually taking an injury seriously. I have no idea what Pool Party's actual injury was... but he realistically should have been shut down must sooner than he was.

Diligence/patience is not something the Oilers organization has been known for during the decade.5 of darkness.

You're trying too hard, mate. Also, you might be posting this in the wrong thread. That one is a few below this one.

So they're 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?

"golfing"

 

[Del Preston]

"golfing"

Professor Wem's Adventure Golf is no joke.

Like it wasn't bad enough missing out on the playoffs, now the poor guy is missing out on the golf too.

 

[HaNotsri]

Sad that even Yakupov got to play 63 more NHL games than McDavid.

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

honest question: how serious can it be if he's out walking around and playing mini-golf?

It's clearly terminal.

I partially tore my MCL and didn't miss a beat as long as I didn't try to run a marathon or walk down hill/stairs a lot, rather than surgery I chose the "heal itself" route but it took about 9 months before I felt completely normal, a 23 year year old most likely would heal faster though.

He wears a brace to not put pressure on that leg in a wrong way. Seems ok. Not every injury leaves you bedridden.

The only way this photo could be more Oilers is if he was being caddied by some random member of the 80's dynasty.

 

[greasysnapper]

Imagine if McDavid never played in that last game of the year.

McDavid would have been healthy, and they would have been in the Rangers spot and got the 2nd pick in the lottery.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Would be real crappy for that first doctor that saw him if it turns out to be a significant injury afterall.

Wont be Oilers go to guy anymore to send their players

 

[Unspecified]

His heart must be located in his leg

 

[Pi]

There is so much time between now and the next season and McDavid is a workhorse. Even if he does have a long term injury, you know he's only going to come back even stronger.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Is the second opinion going to be from former Edmonton Oiler, Dr. Randy Gregg? Or was he the initial opinion?

 

[Mr Positive]

[Mod]

I get that of course the Oilers season was horrible, so everyone would speculate the worst, but everything McDavid has said and done tells me he wants to see this through. The team is always changing. At the very least he'd be curious what happens with the Oilers over the offseason.

But this report is good. The initial report was negative, that he was basically okay and just needed to heal, so a 2nd opinion could only be to look for an issue that might have been missed. We can't mess around with him.

 

[BM14]

Why is he wearing a leg brace for a broken spirit?

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

That's the only bad thing about McDavid, dude plays the game at 100mph so when he gets hurt he's out for a while.
