Just hoping Matthews comes back by the playoffs at this point. But this is bad. Maybe he's just not suited for the NHL with his style of play and body. At least we have Tavares I guess.

You don't need goons, but we have a lot of similar level players who don't bring any physical play. Johnson, Leivo, Gauthier, Brown, Ennis, Lindholm are all guys ideally suited for bottom 6, 1 special team (PP or PK) with no physical play. Guys like Komarov and Martin couldn't keep up anymore, but it'd be nice to have someone capable of doing damage in those roles. Not a fight, just a hard play or hit.

If we had a goon the Jets would anticipate Ehlers or Morrissey getting their face smashed in if they went after our stars, so they typically wouldnt.

Goons have their place in the game.

How does Matthews get hurt on that?

This to me comfirms he had shoulder separation last season...that shoulder is shot and that injury easily reoccurs.....if im not misstaken it can never be as strong as it was again..kinda like concussions
