Connor McDavid comes clean about debilitating injury: surgery imminent
Edmonton Oilers fans just got some bad news as it appears as though Connor McDavid will be having a significant offseason surgery after playing through an injury in the Stanley Cup playoffs this year.
McDavid was clearly not his usual self throughout much of the playoffs as he frequently passed up on prime shooting opportunities in order to make a pass instead. In fact, his overall shot volume was way below normal. Despite this, he still put up one of the best postseason runs of all time, coming just 5 points shy of Wayne Gretzky's all-time record for points in a single postseason. If it was not for these injuries, he likely would have broken the record as well as lifted the Stanley Cup.
Furthermore, Leon Draisaitl reportedly played much of the playoffs with a broken rib and finger. This would certainly explain how the two superstars looked so pedestrian towards the end of the Stanley Cup final, especially in game seven.
Should the Oilers miss either player for the start of next season, it would be a bug blow to the team. Hopefully both players can fully recover before puck drop next October.
