GDT: Jets @ Leafs 7PM CBC

[saffronleaf]

If that's the case, and this is literally never going away, can we really give a 21 year old with a bad shoulder 10 mil plus a season?

I don't think you can. He'll only play half to three-quarters of the regular season and will need to be benched against heavy teams and in the playoffs where things get physical.

I think transitioning back to the Swiss league could help, might ensure a lengthy and healthy career.

 

[Walshy7]

I had that kind of hit. Best case is separated shoulder.

best case is not injured. which is still possible however unlikely, happens all the time next day everything is fine. again unlikely but before losing too much of your shit just wait

 

[horner]

Any update on Mathews? Did they say he's out for the remainder of the game?

Dude did you see the look on his face.
Probably out for a while.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Is it a "No Aliens allowed" zone ?

I like talking hockey with interesting people.

Should I go somewhere else ?

Yes you should.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Gee, that's 3 away teams coming in and playing us playoff style hockey tight checking no room. This one not over yet, but doesn't look good. I'd say it's a concern yes.

 

[Mats13]

I'm as big of a Matthews fan as any.

But if that routine body check that I see even in TIM BIT hockey really hurt his shoulder again (and this isn't some sick joke), then I really don't know where I stand at that point. It would be a legitimate problem that fans aren't overreacting about.

Let's hope he's back in the 3rd or next game, and we can all put this behind us.

We dont even know what the injury is yet. So not really a good idea to jump to conclusions.

As for Matthews and Nylander, I'd pay more for 60 games of Matthews than I would for 80 games of Nylander.

it's not like the Leafs haven't gotten chances tonight or in the other games. sometimes stretches like this happen

 

[Shayne Corsi]

I agree completely. I think people talking like we're being outplayed aren't watching the same game at all. We've taken hits. We've thrown several too. Winnipeg is gooning between whistles imo. The first goal was on a powerplay that honestly probably should be been evened up after Trouba blatantly crossed checked Kadri in retaliation for the boarding. Second goal was after we had sustained several shifts of pressure. We've had our chances. This game could easily be the other way around

This is absolutely true. Unfortunately, the incomparably awful Jim Hughson distorts everyone's perception by automatically and invariably framing things with his anti-leafs goggles on. Get a real f***ing play by play announcer CBC - this is shameful.

 

[Gallagbi]

You dont watch Oilers games I see.

Zach Kassian is available for trade, if the Leafs get him will you cry? Will you write a strongly worded letter to MLSE about violence in hockey, eh Ken Campbell?

It has nothing to do with limiting violence, it's about adding value and the role diminishing.

 

[Jmo89]

It's a good thing Marner is good at getting points because he's looked like trash the past four games. He's not the only one though.

 

[member 147413]

This game does not inspire confidence. Team looks slow and disinterested, losing Matthews hurts a lot.

Brown, Ennis and Marincin look really awful.

 

[The Kessel Run]

This is absolutely true. Unfortunately, the incomparably awful Jim Hughson distorts everyone's perception by automatically and invariably framing things with his anti-leafs goggles on. Get a real ****ing play by play announcer CBC - this is shameful.

both you make good points. There is no denying that the Leafs started to look much more disjointed after Matthews left. Hopefully they can regroup here going into the third.

i will, f*** that waste of space. This policeman narrative is such a joke, you only believe because you've been told that for a long time it isnt a thing. Trouba would have hit McDavid in the same position if he was playing the oilers. JFC it was even a fair hit

He truly is the worst

 

[A1LeafNation]

This is the risk you take by not signing when you can. Injury can severly cost you dollars.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

yeah he's been brutal. he'll bounce back though

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Leafs PR tweeting Matthews will not return due to a shoulder injury

 

[jrgtml67]

Shoulders are nasty, you can just be in the gym lifting and reinjure them too. Once those puppies pop out it's never the same it seems.

Nope I threw a baseball too hard many times during my teens no problem, did it a yr ago now if I play it's a royal pain

Bad areas are the joints..knees, neck, shoulders, groins, in hockey and football. Wrists elbows, shoulders in tennis baseball. I just hope its not his neck or back those things are worse. May feel great and takes nothing to tweak.

 

[socko]

$6.25M for a locker room, 3rd line guy with big contracts on the horizon ?

Good plan, Lou.

Marleau was never a winner either. Bring in a Zetterberg or someone who won something.

 

[jrgtml67]

Dude did you see the look on his face.
Probably out for a while.

Same face when he hurt his shoulder last yr and missed what 7 or 8 games, was it?

 

[Myopic]

Matthews was a total p***y when he returned last season and was invisible in the playoffs. He played like a QB who has been sacked 4-5 times a game and is skittish. Get used to it. Teams will be hitting him left and right whenever he returns for the rest of his career.

 

[frog]

for sure. his glares from the pressbox would have helped a ton

funny but youve already used that one on me before

 

[HellasLEAF]

it's not like the Leafs haven't gotten chances tonight or in the other games. sometimes stretches like this happen

Yes I realize that. But the home/away form is telling.

 

[LeafsHome]

If Matthews is out for an extended period I'm just going to assuming that he's still out there and doing nothing. Only decent player lately is Tavares

 

[thewave]

I am going to have to take anti-depressants pills after listening to your drab commentary. You sound like your trolling.

Don't worry... We got this.

 

[saffronleaf]

It's a good thing Marner is good at getting points because he's looked like trash the past four games. He's not the only one though.

I think he has mono. He will be good in 6 months after recovering.
