Injury Report: McDavid out 2-3 weeks

[Senor Catface]

I obviously don't mind being made fun of for being overly paranoid about injuries. I make fun of myself for this very point all the time. Anybody looking at my post history would know this. You regularly make personal attack posts about me though.

It's not a personal attack. It's a general frustration posters have when it comes to injuries and having the discussion become about your outlandish predictions opposed to the reality of the situation.

Kids a gamer. I think he hates being out.

The severity of mcdavids injury.

What's funny, is that I eventually convinced myself that the oilers, even with their terrible history on the matter, wouldn't lie about a generational players injury. Even the OILERS wouldn't be so dumb, but yet here we are. So the one time I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, against my nature, I was wrong. Lol, can't win for trying

what did they say or lie about other than the initial reports "weren't that bad?" after the 1st MRI (which didn't catch the full tear of the PCL)

Great news all around. I'm actually in town with my kid for his first NHL game ever. It would be fantastic if he was playing tomorrow, as my kid would love it. I'm not sure my kid is buying my "drai is just as good as mcdavid routine" I'm feeding him, lol

So you're an adult? wow lol

he probably watched how hard the boys are working without him and it's driving him nuts not being able to contribute

 

[kevy999]

Nope, they don't owe me, or anybody else, anything. But that doesn't mean that, after being lied to, that I should believe them in the future.

They didn't lie to you about anything

Or he wants to get back in, while he’s got a hope in hell in chasing down Leon for the art ross

Seems very optimistic about everything, says he's feeling good.

Not to mention a slight Freudian slip at 3:25 lol

Pneumonia confirmed.

 

[SK13]

Pneumonia confirmed.

I think you mean lung cancer. Pancoast tumor. That rash on his head is clearly from the fever he's gotten during his secret immunotherapy treatments that the dastardly Oilers are lying to us about.

Coming from king cryer of blaming McDavid for stuff in the past.

Glad someone said it.

People get on Jaded for being wildly negative when it comes to injuries, which I find as annoying as anyone, but when he's wrong he owns up to it. It doesn't actually hurt anyone.

Edit: And I should mention, people make fun of him when he's wrong but he's a good sport about it in my experience.

In the context of talking about hockey on a message board, it isn't harmful, no. But ignoring all available evidence based on the premise that you have been lied to before (and not acknowledging the difference between being wrong based on incomplete information and being lied to), is a very dangerous attitude to have. It allows someone to selectively disbelieve anything they want.

Opinions are things like "I prefer waffles over pancakes." The idea that the Oilers consciously lie about injuries (rather than are just wrong or vague at times) and do so often enough that we should automatically assume everything they say is a lie, even if it goes contrary to the evidence we can observe, is something that is either objectively true or not. It is not just an opinion. Either support it with evidence, or stop claiming it.

Mcdavid looked good after practice.

 

[tardigrade81]

Mcdavid won’t play tomorrow. I called and bagged him..... was his voicemail. Still waiting for a call back.

Not bad for a guy that is on one leg and may be shut down for the season.
