The wrestler?

Sometimes you have to make your own luck. We can't be letting Matthews block as many shots as he is. It was only a matter of time. Hopefully it's just a bruise.

 

[Byron Bitz]

I will admit I was wrong and the people saying Matthews should stop blocking shots were right

 

[BallardEra]

He’s gone for at least 6 to 8 weeks, maybe longer.

He’ll be back out to start the second.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Cooper doing his "look at me" routine. Showboat!

 

[Gabriel426]

Targeting a hot head, smart. He’s bound to do something stupid soon with enough annoyance

It is a good trend to start.
Also, they are not only stopping other teams from taking cheap shots after the whistle on Murray but they are actually doing it to Demko.

ROR is a beast today, he might not score but he plays like he is Shaq on ice.

JT is really good today, he got the jumps tonight.

 

[Cleetus]

He’ll be back out to start the second.

I hope you are right.... please be right.

I think AM is just in the right position. I don’t see him diving in front of shots

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

What a terrible take. If he doesn't block it you would complain as well.

Personally I'd prefer he didn't block it for this very reason

 

[Magic Man]

The bash brothers Schenn and McCabe are worth the price of admission. They're never coming out.

He is, which is great. But he should move out of the way and protect himself. It's a regular season game against Vancouver.

 

[ToneDog]

I'm no shot blocker but should he not have turned his knee and took it on the front on his shin guard?

If he does that, we will say he has no heart.

I think the problem was he wasn't ready for the shot, so had no time to react.

 

[JadedLeaf]

A few of the "classier" canucks fan hoping Matthews is out for the season.

edit: I don't mean the whole fanbase, just the couple of knobs.

Feel like it was more a reflex.

 

[Hellcat]

Anyone else find it odd that a 6'8" player leaves his feet to hit JT and there is no PIM?

 

[The Management]

I'm just fine with McCabe taking that penalty. Love the emotion.

 

[Notsince67]

F that. Bobby Orr sacrificed his body to do everything including diving to block shots. That is the price of greatness

 

[therealkoho]

It would be incredibly rare for taking a puck to the knee or shin to cause structural damage.

Probably massive Bruise. Potentially bone bruise but nothing broken would be my guess

Nah I'm thinking, grade 2 sprain of his moustache and he'll probably need an enema before the nights out

 

[SwollenGoat]

F that. Bobby Orr sacrificed his body to do everything including diving to block shots. That is the price of greatness

It also considerably shortened his career…

 

[Hellcat]

Classy canucks fan hoping Matthews is out for the season

It is Vancouver after all ...

 

[Bellefour20]

It's a Saturday, good family day to enjoy hockey an a crippling gambling addiction. Fun for the whole family. Can't swear but we can feed your addictions.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

As much as I hate seeing THIS is why I was driving the ROR bus because you still got Tavares and ROR as your top 2 centers and that's still pretty good.
