And he had to do several things.
He got Mark Lindsay, a therapist involved and Tracy Wilson, a figure skater and all kinds of lengths to, as he said, I was 22 years old and the next 20 years of my life is sort of hanging on this decision.
And I don't want to be an alarmist and say this was anything like that.
But I could tell he was really processing, you know, is this serious?
Because it sounds like he said he rolled his leg.
So you kind of go right to high ankle sprain, which is one of the most debilitating injuries for a hockey player.
So I think he had that, you know, God, I want to get an MRI and I want it now while trying to play the game.
So that was one of the things, the whole game, as much as it was, you know, the main story or the plot,
I think the subtext of McDavid's rolled foot or leg or knee really jumped out at you because they were already, as you've discussed, they were already down two centers, key guys.
Adam Henrique has been so good with Doc and Frederick and Jason Dickinson's been just unbelievable in the third line role.
So that was beginning to be a concern.
The rookie team, you know, 14 rookies on the Ducks team.
Every key guy, Troy Terry or Leo Carlson, and now Cutter Gauthier chimes in with a pair.
They're starting to roll.
And whenever the Oilers got a big goal, dry sidle early, Gauthier cut it less than four minutes later.
Connor Murphy scored a huge goal that cut it to 3-2.
Four minutes later, Ryan Poehling scored.
And when Szymanski gets that absolutely gorgeous tying goal, it's two minutes later, not even, a minute and 17, and they go ahead again on Gauthier's goal.
So those windows where they had the inability to kind of ride the crowd and the energy of Rogers Place, that Anaheim was able to do that was, to me, a storyline.
No, that's a good point.
