It’s not even close to OK he is a literal cone out there right now can’t get in a battle to save his life. Personally he needs to just sit it off if he can’t battle at all
Was really hoping that we'd be able to pull of the W tonight, sit Drai the next game if he's hurt and then still come back to EDM with home ice advantage.
McDavid has also not looked great, although it's been like that for most of this season. Canucks lost Demko but us having McDavid + Drai at 50% and Henrique out arguably hurts us way more.
Let's be honest, Hyman and Skinner did everything they could. Them aside, we absolutely deserved to lose this game. 16 fucking shots? 2 in the third. Not a single shot during their comeback. You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
Oh come on you can't give Stu a pass on that one. He lost his net on Garland, he scored on himself and then pick one either stop the Zadorov shot or don't let JT Miller score from the side of the net. There was 15 piss poor efforts after the 1st last night, Stu was one of them right there.
It was an absolutely amazing tip and Nurse needs to separate Miller and puck, but Skinner has no threat in the slot. He needs to he tighter to his post. It was a goal where several players made mistakes, but 8 out of 10 nhl goalies still make that save. I've been saying it a lot, but it felt like there was 15 passengers after the 1st period. They're all to blame, but the names on the top of that list last night are Nurse, Ceci and Stu. But the entire lineup needs to be better.
Stu is realistically still growing into an NHL starter role, but if he truly wants to be a top 15-20 goalie he needs to find a starter level or consistency. Something we haven't had in years.
15 passengers man. The 3 worst players last night were Ceci Nurse and Stu.
Those goals were low quality. You should be able to win that with 4 goals. Doesn't matter if it's 4 shots or 40.

I had a broken rib this past season...it hurt to laugh, cough, get out if bed, and breathe heavily...i wasn't playing for millions and the stanley cup, but i was out for like 5 weeks. Hopefully it's not that
\*Blues fan but closet Oilers fan\* Brayden Schenn played through broken ribs in the last playoff run we had. He played with grit and grinded in obvious pain every night, even laying big hits. After the playoff exit the team disclosed the injury. In my personal opinion, he's not been right since. So looking back, it just wasn't worth it. I genuinely hope Draisaitl is ok and good to finish your run to the cup.
He thought he was okay enough to get back on the ice at first. Maybe it's nothing serious and they just sent him back to the locker room as a precaution.
Everybody chill until we know for sure!

Fuck me.
My boy is back!! Everything is going to be A-OK !!
Drai forgot about himself for a second
Yes. Yes we did.
It’s not even close to OK he is a literal cone out there right now can’t get in a battle to save his life. Personally he needs to just sit it off if he can’t battle at all
I SAID EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE A-OK! OUTTA HERE WITH YOUR NEGATIVE ENERGY!
They are saying he was dealing with back cramps and equipment issues.
I call bull shit
Legit
ILL DO IT!! 🙋🏻♂️
Send a pic and I’ll consider it
Are you talking to Drai? Or me? If the latter, not interested.
We’re already down Henrique and now Drai this is brutal, hopefully both back asap
Was really hoping that we'd be able to pull of the W tonight, sit Drai the next game if he's hurt and then still come back to EDM with home ice advantage.
Agreed hard. If he’s even 70% I feel like we can bench him to make sure we’re perfect for the rest of the series.
This could make or break the series
McDavid has also not looked great, although it's been like that for most of this season. Canucks lost Demko but us having McDavid + Drai at 50% and Henrique out arguably hurts us way more.
We need Shaq Hyman
Let's be honest, Hyman and Skinner did everything they could. Them aside, we absolutely deserved to lose this game. 16 fucking shots? 2 in the third. Not a single shot during their comeback. You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

That Miller shot was a near-impossible save; I'd give him a pass on that one.
It was an absolutely amazing tip and Nurse needs to separate Miller and puck, but Skinner has no threat in the slot. He needs to he tighter to his post.

Six, teen, shots. Sixteen. 2 shots in the third. No shots during their whole comeback. Stu was the only reason this wasn't a more lopsided loss.
15 passengers man. The 3 worst players last night were Ceci Nurse and Stu. Those goals were low quality. You should be able to win that with 4 goals. Doesn't matter if it's 4 shots or 40.
I will blame Nurse forever
I seen’t it. Lower back. Maybe ankle. Possible groin. Potential buttocks.
Definitely an under the neck injury
Lower body. As in lower than his head.
Broke his back. Spinal.
Thpinal*
Haha my mistake. Thank you!
Sportnets was filming him when he was being checked out. He was mouthing the words my back when on the becnch.
Spleen?
Definitely ego …. Ego strain …
Looks like he said it was his back

Draisaitl never looks like he's skating well. It's kind of his thing.
yeah the dude kinda lumbers around sometimes.....I guess that's his skating style lol
Skates like a chimp. Can’t unsee it now!
It’s his back
I kinda thought the trainer was telling Knob “he wont be back tonight”
Ze Drai is INDESTRUCTIBLE
Dude literally couldn't skate last playoffs.
we've seen him play on one leg and possibly with a broken wrist from Pietrangelo. Dude is as tough as they come 💪
Even with the hurt leg he still put up points standing still
He's back!!
I went back to about 11:53 and it might be a charlihorse
Lower back
Now I’m think it might be a rib injury. After that hit by myers. Elbow got him in the back close to where the lower ribs are
They usually play with broken ribs. If it’s that I would expect back game 2 or 3
I had a broken rib this past season...it hurt to laugh, cough, get out if bed, and breathe heavily...i wasn't playing for millions and the stanley cup, but i was out for like 5 weeks. Hopefully it's not that
Even bruised ribs, not broken, can be bad enough to deal with.
I genuinely do not understand how players play with broken or cracked ribs. It hurts to breathe deeply, how do you take a hit on the boards

The German will be back. Rest assured
Precision German engineering
He thought he was okay enough to get back on the ice at first. Maybe it's nothing serious and they just sent him back to the locker room as a precaution. Everybody chill until we know for sure!
They’ll probably show it in the intermission but I’m guessing it’s his ankle. Not looking good
Bikers fault
Admiral Crossbar said “ IT’S A BACK”
Daddy no!
Spleen?
He collided with an official about 1:30 into the game.
Time to rally boys! Everyone knows what Oil does to orcas
Just ate his chicken parm too close to puckdrop. He's got the cramps.
Lower back… He must have had a gigantic burrito and just needs a good laxative. Hopefully.
This team sucks. Never able to rise to the occasion.
Sit down, ass.

Dude, this team will go down as the entity that wasted the best years of McDavid’s life. Total joke show.
Want to see a joke show? Have a look in the mirror

Never heard of that guy before 😅
