Sounds like he's guessing?

9 days? He hasn't even been on the ice yet. A couple weeks straight off the ice due to a THIGH injury (allegedly) which is the part of your body that lets you skate...uh...I have a feeling it would take at minimum a week to get back into game form after he starts skating again no?

I'd be surprised if he's back in 9 days. Try 3-4 weeks, and that's if the injury is what they say it is.

Yes, but you assume they've amputated his leg and just won't tell us.

 

[BlackDogg]

Uggh. Sounds like just a typical nasty quad injury.

 

[Aerchon]

Original timeline was 2 to 3 weeks. 9 days, if true, is still in that vicinity.

I think with how fast his knee healed everyone had slightly unreal expectations.

 

[Mav3rick07]

9 days I’m content with . That’s good news.

I keep having this horrible feeling we’re gonna see “McDavid out long term” news and they lied to us and it’s more serious.

So once again, 9 days is fine .

I'm guessing he retires

 

[Satire]

I'm guessing he retires

Spoiler Alert: He's been dead all along - Sixth Sense style.

Also unconfirmed rumours said he had both legs amputated and a double bilateral leg transplate.

 

[Jepprey]

I'm guessing he slots in versus Vegas. That's my hockey forum doctor opinion.

I hope so.. going down to Vegas for that game

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Sick brag.

Have fun.

So it's at the far end of the original diagnosis.

What charley horse ever takes 3 weeks to heal? Never heard of this before. Again, it certainly seems like it is something more serious than they originally let on. He was supposed to get more tests yesterday, and now today we here he is out for another week and a half. This after people were speculating he'd be back on Friday. Sounds like they saw something in those tests yesterday that they didn't like.

None of this sounds like a charley horse.

Do teams ever give specific details of injuries to their star players right before the playoffs?

 

[Senor Catface]

Do teams ever give specific details of injuries to their star players right before the playoffs?

That's a strong no.

 

[RandomGuy79]

That's a strong no.

Exactly. Yet people on here expect the team to upload the mri results and doctor reports for them to analyze and crticize.

Sounds exactly like a charley horse to me. lol. We arent talking to ones that you get muscles spasms for a few hours and you're good to go. There are worse ones where you actually have a big fat bruise and your leg feels dead. 3 weeks is normal for those ones. God forbid its one of those worse ones out there that actually need surgery and you need blood drained.

 

[Yeah15]

Going on the road trip myself, ing Stauffer getting me excited that he'd be back with plenty of time to spare

 

[tiger_80]

Well, they said 2-3 weeks, so I guess he's gonna miss at least 7 more games.

 

[BlackDogg]

Guys like Stauffer just make stuff up so they can get a headline or a tweet? Annoying as hell

If you believe it's a charley horse

 

[BlackDogg]

So in hindsight, playing the rest of that game likely cost him a good week or more

 

[Jepprey]

If you believe it's a charley horse

Don't your remember Charlie Huddy? He had charley horse problems when he was with us. It wasn't a 1 week problem. He was one of those that needed surgery on his charley horse.

 

[McJadeddog]

Yeah, that does actually ring a bell.

Again, I don't necessarily believe it is a charley horse. The team hasn't given us any reason to believe them. It is just as likely that it is related to his knee imo

They predicted 2-3 weeks. Where are you getting 4 weeks from?
