Injury Report: Auston Matthews - 2024-2025 Discussion

[Larcos_Unal]

Sounds like he just wants out of pre season games

You don't get paid for playoff games, do you also not get paid for pre-season games?

 

[HolyCrap]

hack players don't take shots at stars anymore.

that's gone with the old days.

now hack players look up to the stars, follow them on social media, and hope to get a signed stick.

when everyone plays for Team Bettman, the idea of a hack player taking a shot at a star is long gone. You don't do that to fellow rich friends.

This made me laugh. Not because you’re wrong. You’re 100 percent correct.

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

Instead of The playoffs you mean?

Sounds like he just wants out of pre season games

So same as the playoffs then?

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Shoulders hurt from carrying Marner for years…ohhhhhh baby

and the Trouba hit.

Let's hope he gets healthy soon.

Really missing his shot.

Anytime Mathews plays poorly he is injured, so predictable.

Yeah, he's not injured, he's just slumping

 

[kevsh]

He's gotten his chances - including a couple of posts - just hasn't buried them yet.

The only difference I see is that when he doesn't have the puck he's looked less effective overall. A few giveaways, not many takeaways - though the stats may disagree, less impactful without the puck.

Yeah, he's not injured, he's just slumping

Slumping? 3 f***ing games into the season

I agree a slump is when you get 0 points in 10 games not 3.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Slumping? 3 f***ing games into the season

That's considered a slump for him.

 

[AvroArrow]

He'll be fine, I'll be worried when he stops getting chances

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

He's suffering from a detached heart

 

[PromisedLand]

Matthews hit what like 2 to 3 posts already in scabs and NJD games? come on people. He isn't slumping or anything.

I am not worried at all

Calm down lol. I just mean he's fine, he's just not playing to some peoples expectations right now

Yeah he'll get his. His first season where he cracked 60, he missed the first three games coming off wrist surgery, and then had 1G 1A in his first six games before taking off in November. My concern isn't the regular season anyways.

 

[DarkKnight]

Why is the injured thread still around? Scared me lol. He's fine, sheesh.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Looks like he’s using a shorter stick this season, can’t seem to reach pucks around the net the way we’re used to seeing

 

[Rare Jewel]

That's considered a slump for him.

If a period goes by I get antsy.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If a period goes by I get antsy.

You must be losing your mind then It's been 9 whole periods

 

[shaner8989]

Should be 3 and 0 and Matthews is pointless. Good sign.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Seems pretty inappropriate to bump old injury threads to discuss Matthews when there is zero evidence that he is injured.

 

[ULF_55]

He has 2 posts, Nylander has 1.

Matthews is leading team in shots with 15, Knies and Ekman-Larsson 11 each.

Goals will come.

Also putting time into PK duties, a minute more per game ... I know it is early.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Do we have a general Matthews thread
