McDavid Injury Thread

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Stauffer just said it. Good news obviously, he probably just got a really bad bone bruise. Fingers and Toes crossed.

He could have a bad contusion. I got one in hockey and JFC does it hurt.

McDavid has titanium knees

 

[GodPucker]

I wasn't able to watch the game, what happened?

Giordano got beat wide like rented old mule. Decides to turn around and dive to stop the Game 7 potential OT goal of McDavid and trips him

How did they do an x-ray if he didn't even go to the hospital yet

Every arena has to have them.

 

[These Are The Days]

What does it mean when the x-ray comes back negative? Is that good or bad?

Negative for a break but that doesn't mean something else didn't happen

 

[Sanchez]

Really? Don't do this to me man, if you're joking...

Ched just said that; Jack Michaels. John Shannon also saying the same. MRI will happen in next day or two.

Adamantium.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Could still be a hairline fracture.

 

[Da McBomb]

I'm worried about the knees. Hope its not bad

 

[Roof Daddy]

Praying it's not a ligament tear.

Might just be a really bad bone bruise.

Was just going to say this. Deep bone bruise could feel like a break, but at its most severe should only mean a couple weeks off his feet.

Didn’t look like it was ligament damage based on where his leg hit the post.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

X-Rays coming back negative makes me even more nervous.

If it's ACL/MCL/PCL... god help us.

 

[ZJuice]

If it’s a tear hopefully it’s the one where they repair it and it is STRONGER, then he injures the other one it is also stronger. 200 point McDavid incoming 2021

Just thought we need a pic of the leg grab by a turnstiled Giordano for the record.

Put that next to the jersey grab by a turnstiled Manning.

This happens because refs don't call penalties when they should. Players start taking more and more liberties. McDavids speed ends up working against him because going into the post/boards at 40 km/h is not good.

I swear every time I watched McDavid drive the net in 2016-2017 my heart would skip, because the defender on him ALWAYS has a hand in there. This is preventable by the league but they refuse to because "game management, cna't let the Oilers get 10 PPs every game"...

 

[GodPucker]

Jhonny is never going to be up there in top elite territory. Glad he didn't hit 100

Oil didn't play that well and made Smith and CGY D look like seieves lol

Good luck int he playoffs

It's probably not the knees, I hope. Based on the video, it doesn't look like there was any significant hyperextension or bending, and the principle point of contact was the leg.

 

[noeticfuzz]

This was compounded from that f*ckin clipping play with the Ducks...

Praying it is just a very bad sprain or contusion...

 

[780il]

Negative for a break but that doesn't mean something else didn't happen

Well thank god for that...

Now just hoping it's not something even worse than a break.

Seeing Stamkos get injured in a very similiar and not really looking like himself for a couple years after is scaring me rn. Praying it's not bad.

 

[Cloned]

X-Rays coming back negative makes me even more nervous.

If it's ACL/MCL/PCL... god help us.

I hope it isn't, and based on the video it doesn't look like it will be. Still, fingers crossed.

Yep, hitting the post with one's shin that hard can result in PCL damage (aka "dashboard injury"). That would be among the worst case scenarios.

 

[Joey Moss]

Would he not be going to hospital if it was a serious problem? The fact that he's travelling with the team sounds like good news to me.

 

[CupofOil]

A ligament tear would have shown on the X-Ray, any break or tear.

 

[SDig14]

I'm no doctor, but didn't look anything like a knee or ligament issue. It was high speed impact straight onto metal.

I guess hope for bone bruise or small fracture that just requires a month or two of rest?

 

[These Are The Days]

X-Rays coming back negative makes me even more nervous.

Same here. But it's going to be more telling if Connor is walking under his own power in a few hours or if he's on crutches and can't put weight on it. Either way I'm here for the good vibes. The Stamkos flashbacks got real for a minute

I'm not a physician, but I have torn each of my ACLs playing sports. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops or changes in direction, jumping and landing, pivoting motions, etc. He was not doing any of those motions.

That's two TB posters that have been nice and kind here so far.

I'm officially on the TB bandwagon now.
