Fast forward to 2023, the expectations are much higher for the Oilers and McDavid, as they are anticipated to compete for a Stanley Cup regularly. However, an injury has surfaced for the Oilers' superstar, leading many to wonder whether he will require time away from the game to address his health issues.
According to a tweet, it appears that his hip is the primary concern. His point totals have seen a significant drop, coinciding with his team's struggles and one of the worst starts in Oiler's history.
The Oilers recently faced the San Jose Sharks, and this game was marked as a potential turning point, possibly leading to firings or other demotions within the organization. Unfortunately, the Sharks won 3-2, and the Oilers' record now stands at 2-9-1.
