Injury Report: Auston Matthews Dealing With Upper Body Injury

[Arzak]

Another blow to camp Marner.

Hopefully, they'll let Auston rest and heal. The last thing we want is Matthews aggravating some nagging injury from the start.

I don't care if he misses a month of October, he needs to be healthy come playoff times.

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

^^ Objectively better comeback that we ever produced in playoffs.

We've never tried Mitchy with renowned #1C David Goddman Kampf

This season might undergo the most angst from the fanbase since the Kessel era

I think that all elite players should take most of the preseason off...

Last thing this core needs is yet another hall pass…….

Preseason is a double-edged sword. You want your core players to get in game ready shape, yet you don't want to see your core injured due to hack players trying to make an impression.

It's a tough balancing act.

Players obviosuly don't go there hardest in pre-season but with the speed and random nature of hockey, you just never know when you might tweak something.

Hopefully this is just a short term one and he can get up to game speed asap.

I like how people are acting like Matthews is missing an arm after it was already reported to be minor. Like, I think we would all agree these meaningless games meant to get ready for the season do not matter and if he even is a little sore, he should rest and get ready for the season instead of pushing through it for no reason?

Instead some have a massive agenda and want to spin this into something it isn't like he is scared to play in Berube's system because he is asking him to work hard (like he scored 70 goals not trying or getting wacked/hit)
