Why does he need to be in the lineup vs. Boston?
I'm sure he could've physically gone last night, or tonight. Long term availability is more important.

I don't think he needs to be. If he can it's nice, but that game doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of everything
We need him 100% for the playoffs much more than ready for Saturday versus Boston. If he has any kind of discomfort you should continue to sit him and let him heal
Every player in the league has "discomfort" at this point that's not a reason to sit him
wont be watching it on Fox sports Detroit, its A National broadcast in the USA, ESPN only

Not every team or player is in the position we are in. There's 40 games left and we're 90% sure who we're are playing in round 1
We should absolutely load manage our superstar to ensure he's as healthy as possible for game 1 of the playoffs. The rest of these games don't mean much, and we can still win without him

Leafs have wone the last 9 of 10 with a score of 50-24
That is how it's done. Load management is for soft basketball players
If we win tonight, odds of winning first in division moves up to 11.6%

All sorts of things were left out of that copypasta. Mainly the beginning of the post.

He gives us good value on the defensive end of things and has been making good plays but his shot is a disaster right now. If shutting him down for a month was guaranteed to fix whatever is bothering him I’d do it without hesitation. Having his shot back to normal adds a completely different dimension to the team and opens up a lot of space for everyone else.

And it's also how the Raptors won the championship in 2019
Matthews has an injury which has impacted his greatest weapon, his shot. If you have the opportunity to rest him and have him as close to 100% as possible, you take it

I was really impressed with Nylander last night. I hope he plays like that against Detroit.

I agree with that, not like hes in the scoring race or looking to break records this year. Our record is also surprisingly strong without him in the lineup, so rest him if he needs it

If Matthews couldn’t go last night, don’t know why he would tonight. Just rest him.
I'd rather have him healthy for the playoffs vs another Montreal series type of situation. Remember when Calgary hit him from behind that season, he hurt his wrist badly and didn't take time off to heal. We are a lock for the playoffs, i'd rather have healthy Matthews for the playoffs rather than risk it for some "meaningless" games, because that's what they essentially are. The first round is set, Toronto vs Tampa.

Calling it now, Bruins are going to lose in the first round and Leafs will beat Tampa. Things will work out.
Boston peaking too early. No injuries, elite goaltending and PDO will normalize at the worst time
