Injury Report: Matthews - Day to Day - Placed on IR

[Jozay]

He could probably hit the ice if it was wrist related.

Since he hasn’t, back issues wouldn’t be surprising

 

[crump]

Makes sense, he’s looked clunky. Take the time use all the treatment you can cause you don’t want another Wendel Clark situation.

 

[Confucius]

Wrist? Lower back? Who knows.

Well if it is suppose to be a guarded secret, therefore if they say upper body, we know it’s more than likely lower body. lol!

 

[authentic]

So any idea when he’s returning?

Day-to-day AKA 3 weeks

 

[DarkKnight]

My guess is his back.

We're starting to get into concerning territory with Matthews and the frequency of these injuries.

If it's a recurring injury, that's a big problem.

Agreed. Seems like every year he has to take time off or looks off and should have taken some rehab time. Surprised he elected to go with a short term contract knowing this.

It’s body. Not lower. Not upper. Just body.

I don't think it is knees.

We're winning, it's November, and we're winning. Not a big deal to me.

Well I for one would rather be winning than losing

 

[Leafs98]

Based on the clues reported...

Not wrist.
Once healed wont linger.
Same injury he sat out a preseason game for.
Skating doesnt help it feel better.

Impossible to solve!

I meant his injury not being a big deal. Winning is always good.

At 26, he's fairly assuming he's going to get over whatever health issues he may have.

And when he plays, he's still very consistent
