In my opinion, if he was truly nursing an injury, he wouldn't be practicing. They would save him for the game. When Leon got hurt last year, he didn't practice at all. Could there be a bruise or sore spot that maybe "limits him", 100%.
That being said, when Rishaugh goes on and on about he thinks something is bothering him to "limit him" I do question that a little bit. Like I said, if something was truly up, even a small thing. Why practice him at all 2 days before. Give him the day off, wait until the morning skate of the game. Secondly, media's "evidence" that something is up with McD is he's not absolutely dominating the Kings. Go back to all of the Kings games in the regular season and in the playoffs and for the most part, the Kings have done a good job of keeping him in check. Next, look at his points. He's got 8 pts in 5 games. For most players in the NHL, that's pretty darn good but it's McD so some people think he should be racking up 3 per game. 3rd, watch how the Kings play against him. It's pretty clear their game plan is to not let McD beat them. They don't seem to put much of an emphasis on Leon but McD, they focus on him to the point that they aren't really trying play to score when McD is on the ice. So if the opponent is literally telling guys to follow McD around and don't worry about anything else other than shutting McD down, that will impact his points. 4th. Korpisalo has made some GREAT saves against McD and McD has set up some guys for some glorious chances that didn't go in. If McD scores on just 1 of his chances and one or 2 guys convert on just 1 of his set ups and he has 10 or 11 pts, no one would question him.
Sometimes you have to give a hat tip to the other team and goalie for "limiting" McD to only 1.6 pts per game. I get Rishaugh has a job but I think he's making it more than what it is.
