I had a feeling like they’d shut him down for a couple of days based on quality of play. Wonder what the injury is.
Lack of heart.
If it was lower body it would be lack of balls.

Wear and tear from something lingering is my guess, maybe his wrist again...It's weird how this comes out from nowhere. Can anyone pinpoint where he might have been hurt last game? Or anything from practice? Same thing with Willy from last season's playoffs. All of a sudden, he wasn't available to start the series. Weird stuff to be honest with you.
I'm actually not frustrated at all. And I have Matthews in my fantasy team too. Still not frustrated.
As a long time Leafer, probably longer than you, I can recognize that a great player like Matthews who has set a precedent of being an elite scorer, will start scoring again, and I can recognize that it's too early into a new season with a new coach and new system to be judging too harshly at this time.
This is the difference between you and I. My frustrations will be when and if we lose in the playoffs or how we look heading into the playoffs. Not now.
Sorry still confused here Stephen.
Are you saying you speculated the Leafs would give Matthews a couple days off
don't leave mitch out of the fun, another lower body injury to complete the trifectaNext up incoming migraine for Styles……….
I don’t hate the idea of load managing players in an 82 game season.
I do hate that it’s our best player who needs load management, while guys who work way harder on the ice manage to compete hard every game. Matthews does play a lot of minutes, but he’s not exactly a relentless ball of energy out there. Poor conditioning is not a good look, no sir.
I know, right? This is softer than baby shit tbh.Load management after 12 games? What in the actual f***
He's been trash from the start.
No chance it's load management, much likelier he's got a wrist/back issue. He's missed time with both problems in the past.I don’t hate the idea of load managing players in an 82 game season.

yep.Wrist issues again.... at least that's my guess. He seems to have chronic wrist issues, and we've seen that affect his shooting in the past.

If you've even had migraines you know they can come out of nowhere, so Willy's absence is understandable.It's weird how this comes out from nowhere.

Don’t like that it’s an injury coinciding with a Bruins game though. That gives me some flashbacks to the last series and we can all have our feelings on whatever happened there.
Being cautious would have had absolutely no effect on why Willy missed games last playoffs.Good to be cautious, it's early. Willy getting hurt for the playoffs was not good
Which weapon you talkin boutNo chance it's load management, much likelier he's got a wrist/back issue. He's missed time with both problems in the past.
Pretty concerning if it's the wrist again cause that nullifies his best weapon.
He's been doing that alreadySounds like a perfect opportunity for Nylander to step up and lead the team.
