McDavid Crashes Into Net; Helped Off Ice

[Steven Toast]

Edmonton is fine is the summer but may be the worst place in the entire NHL to live during the regular season.

That would be Winnipeg.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Professor Wem's Adventure Golf is no joke.

I once got stuck on the infamous #11 hole for a couple days. Was an absolute nightmare. Still wake up in the middle of the night with flashbacks.

Edmonton is fine is the summer but may be the worst place in the entire NHL to live during the regular season.

To be fair, NHLers are travelling so much during the season that I don't think it really matters.

 

[Brian McDavid]

For all those goons saying he wants out of Edmonton, if that’s the case why would he still be here on the off season? Edmonton has the best mall, best rink, best River valley, best hockey fans, over 50 museums and galleries, fringe festival and the list goes on. There’s a reason many former players choose Edmonton to live in.

Relax.

It's clearly terminal.

Mini-golf was his Make-A-Wish activity.

 

[66871]

Looks like another grace year for Crosby.

 

[Ctrain2k]

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.

Not sure why you think we would’ve lost we won without McDavid anyway.

 

[General Disarray]

Their current medical guys are probably former Oilers or Kevin Lowe's friends. So sure getting a second opinion is "doing the right thing" but it shouldn't need to be done in the first place.

 

[krutovsdonut]

dr. krutov here.

patient presents in a knee brace shortly after a knee injury suffered during athletic exertions. patient is downplaying injury and confidently out in public taking mild exercise placing weight on injured knee.

patient has a very good private health plan and so it is inferred has already had an mri 6 days after injury. evidence of clear damage to the acl can therefore likely be ruled out, as same would trigger urgent surgery path to ensure patient misses as little work as possible.

preliminary disagnosis is probable mild sprain or minor mcl injury. patient will be in an immobilization brace for up to 30 days and be re-evaluated periodically to assess recovery. meanwhile, patient will utilize excellent private healthcare plan to seek precautionary further opinions to verify there are no immediate indicators for surgery.

 

[Mr Positive]

The fear is that he leaves after his contract is done, no? but that's 7 years away.

honestly if the Oilers do nothing in that time, no Oiler fan would fault him for leaving

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Todd isn’t an Edmontonian, he’s from Leduc

 

[GhostfaceWu]

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 ****ed up his knee and came back fine.

I lean on things all the time are you telling me all this time I've been walking around with ligament damage?

 

[Todd from Leduc]

Todd isn’t an Edmontonian, he’s from Leduc

It’s considered part of the GEA, I can literally watch planes take off and land at the Edmonton International Airport from my back deck.

It was sarcasm, I'm aware of where Leduc is.

 

[HolyGhost]

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

I predict he misses all of next season

 

[Creativero]

To be fair, NHLers are travelling so much during the season that I don't think it really matters.

Ya but you still have to play for the Oilers on the road so the worst part of Edmonton (Lucic) follows you.

 

[ThePlanet]

I predict he misses little, if any time this autumn, and has a phenomenal season for the Flyers.

 

[Choralone]

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

Plus, you can't see them, but he's covered in leeches under his shirt in order to balance his humors. The Edmonton staff has done all it can.

 

[ijuka]

McDavid could have a ligament sprain, honestly. I had it and when I got it it felt pretty bad, as the leg would just give out under me if I stepped just slightly wrong and intense nerve pain would shoot all over, but with a brace somewhat normal activities could be performed just fine and it healed in 3 weeks.

Hard to believe he'd be casually walking around and doing golf if it was something actually serious.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

Could be a serious injury...
Out of pure generosity, I suppose the Leafs could help the Oilers out by offering Matthews + Kadri for MacDavid

this bothers me

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Not the smartest player on the planet; judging by that photo.

 

[BM14]

Rut roh time in Edmonton...?

 

[syz]

Seems like a pointless thing to tweet at 9PM.

 

[Joey Moss]

Rut roh time in Edmonton...?

There's 6 months until training camp.

 

[BM14]

There's 6 months until training camp.

Then why not disclose what's wrong? There's no break and they surely have the MRI results already. Another example of inept management.
