So it turns out Matt Murray's "sprained thumb" is actually a broken hand. He'll be out the next three to six weeks.

Didn't he continue to play a bit before they pull him?

Yep. They put him in and pulled him after the fourth goal against.

And once again, I feel irrational hatred towards McLellan and company...

Lol, I think it's pretty rational. The injury is one thing but putting him a back in was avoidable.

Oh I know, for me it's just irrational because it doesn't matter anymore (I'm not an Oilers fan, so if McLellan is a moron it doesn't affect me). But I hate so many of the decisions he made this tourney anyways. Especially letting Ekblad+Murray continue to play with injuries, that shit is inexcusable.

Based on how this chapter ended, I think there's hope that Tyler is going to be suitably traumatized for a while and will do some emotional processing before he gets his HEA, so I'm cautiously excited.

I'd already forgotten about the Ekblad thing, but now I'm even madder. Injuries, plus how he handled the end of the Sweden game, plus playing Murray back-to-back when there was no damn reason for it. Murray shouldn't even have been PLAYING in the game that broke his hand.

Don't forget giving McDavid ridiculous ice time despite the fact that he didn't score a single goal, and shortening the bench at the end of the Russia game to give his top lines even more minutes despite the fact that they were probably gassed from the back to back, AND how the team told him "physically, not verbally" that McDavid should be the captain....

I still don't understand how they told him with their bodies or whatever it was, unless he walked into a weird sex ritual in the locker room.

And, no Americans on the leadership team still bugs me.

I hate the precendent he sets by doing it so much

Re: What's up with Your Team: Camp, Camp, Camp

(Anonymous) 2016-09-24 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish somebody had asked him what the hell that meant. It was obvious McDavid was going to be the captain anyways but he should have come up with a less awkward justification for it, lol.

Re: What's up with Your Team: Camp, Camp, Camp

(Anonymous) 2016-09-24 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
The problem is there were enough older guys with international leadership experience and medals that any justification was going to be hard beyond "he's Connor McDavid and I work for the Oilers". I wonder what a player vote would have looked like.

Yeah, the explanation was always going to be bs, but the one he came up with is just awkward, like I said. They had barely skated together before he picked the leadership so it was obvious something like "they really look up to him as a leader" or something wouldn't make sense because he hadn't even had time to lead? So he went with choosing him with their bodies or whatever, which while kinda funny, doesn't convince me it had anything to do with McJesus' actual leadership skills.

I also wonder what a player vote would have been like. They barely knew each other, so I think they might have gone with the oldest/most experienced guys by default. (#justiceforsaad)

Is it really a precedent, though? That's exactly the same shit orgs have been pulling all over the league since it started, pretty much.

Precedent is the wrong word but with ekblad there were allegedly concussion spotters at the game :/

Unless he ever explicitly clarifies the quote otherwise, I'm really just gonna have to go with sex voodoo.

Probably Saad, agreed. I think the US guys would have voted for Jones or Trouba for an A? Maybe Canadians would have gone for Schiefele, I have no idea.

DA Couturier has 350 NHL games, so Canadians might have stuck with him for an A, if they were going by experience.

Oh right, I forgot about that. They actually did pull Marchand out - and then he went back after passing the concussion tests? I'm so confused as to how *I* know more about concussions - namely, that it can take a while for symptoms to present - than these supposed medical professionals do. (I mean, I'm not confused, I know why. But UGH.)

Question: I was added to League B last night, and when I go into my roster, I have a team there (that wasn't mine) and Yahoo's telling me to select keepers (which I know we're not doing). Did I inherit some stuff from a deleted GM that I should just ignore?

I find both Eichel/McDaivd boring and over hype individual. Pair them up and you got my attention.
