Injury Report: Auston Matthews Dealing With Upper Body Injury

[RunItBackAgain]

Is our 1st rounder lottery protected?

Give Nylander some preseason games with Marner on his wing while Matthews rests.

Soft hands on a scorer are a good thing.

Three Rockets in four years. I'll take that softness any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

Non playoff teams bruh

pro tip there are other boards for fans of other teams you don't have to be here.

He will miss the rest of the preseason, precautionary Then all of a sudden he is "questionable" for game 1 of the regular season. You know how it goes sometimes. Let's just hope it is indeed nothing serious and not something that lingers.

LTIR until the playoffs?

 

[Arthur Morgan]

off to a good start

Pro tip don’t comment on things you don’t care for & just move on

He already has lingering shoulder, wrist and back injuries.. so yeah, I guess we'll be lucky if it's one of those flaring up and he isn't adding another to the collection

Hockey players get minor injuries all the time, likely no big deal.

Bye Bye Playoffs

I heard Marner slew footed him which caused him to come down awkwardly landing on the back of his head which caused a grade 3 concussion and shoulder sprain. He was tested extensively and couldn't even spell "CAT" afterwards even though they spotted him the "c" and the "t!"

What’s their record with Mattthews out of the lineup?

Better

Soft hands on a scorer are a good thing.

I'd give back all those Rockets for one Lord Stanley's Cup

I guess the plan of the regular players not putting in much effort so they didn’t get hurt kind of failed

I see an 11 million dollar player in huberdeau is available and willing to waive for a contender....

If 4 don't work, lets try 5

 

[HockeyVirus]

Needs some time off when things get tough, same old same old, soft boys stay soft

Indeed, the notably tough *checks notes* first games of pre-season?

As noted by every single player, training camp has been a lot tougher and much more physical so its not just about one game, these top guys can't handle the real physical grind. I refuse to participate in the toxic positivity of some.

Lining up the excuses for falling back to scoring only 40 goals !!!

This situation feels like an annoying combination of injured just badly enough to not finish the workout, but not enough to be a problem.

 

[centipede2233]

Did someone tell matthews the playoffs don’t start until April?

It doesn't say injury, i think he's talking about his hairline they're going to force him to shave it.
