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

[meefer]

Late to the party, but fwiw, PRP treatments have been available in Toronto since before 2018. I know this because I received it before 2018 the year I had both knees replaced. Making this comment on pg 13 of thread, if this is repetitive, sorry.

The doc on Kyper & Bourne mentioned differences in regulations regarding treatment between Germany and North America.

What are the differences?

How can we be sure his name is even Auston Matthews?

I mean think about it, have we ever even seen Auston Matthews and Jack White at the same time?

Gotta love Jack White. I’m old and love my classic rock but Jack is one I would see in concert

I think it's safe to say the start of the Matthews Captaincy hasn't gone according to plan.

Another mysterious ailment has the team's leader out. His wrist or shoulder or whatever the hell else might be wrong with him. You never know what's real and what's not with this team.

For all we know he's got an ingrown toenail.

I'm not saying Matthews is fragile. He hasn't hit official band-aid boy status yet. But he is in training.



Whatever it is that's bothering him I hope he gets better soon. Matthews is easily one of my all time favourite Leafs players. But as the old saying goes the best ability is availability.

Last thing this team needs is a Landeskog wannabe for Captain.

True, fans don't need to know the issue that had him in Germany.

There is a reason he went to Germany.

It isn't nothing.

Wealthy people go to Germany especially for acute care .
A consult can be done on ZOOM
in fact robotic surgery can be done remotely
I'm not buying .but hey I'm just a retired pipefitter

Should they not put him on LTIR and save cap money?

He said it had to do more with Stem Cell treatment and PRP than anything...we can't manipulate the PRP in canada while it's allowed in Germany. By manipulation, they mean that you can add enzymes to the PRP and let your own stem cells grow for a while before being re-injected into your body. Canada says you can take the blood and spin it but must be re-injected the same day to give you the plasma. It makes a rather large difference from what I read. The gold standard is stem cell treatment...so he probably went there for that IMO.

There's lots of treatments you can get internationally that you can't get the equivalent of here. Recall that Jordan Peterson went to Russia to get detoxxed from benzos. I'm sure a man of his financial means would have preferred the equivalent treatment here if he could have found it.

Am I the only one thinking this might be an early Jake Muzzin situation?

The spine and back are not very forgiving.
