Injury Report: Matthews - Day to Day

[rumman]

don't leave mitch out of the fun, another lower body injury to complete the trifecta

Probably due for a high ego sprain………

 

[Budz]

Upper body = missing heart.

Gotta love our fans.

 

[rumman]

Load management after 12 games? What in the actual f***

He's been trash from the start.

Hall passes for everyone………

This isn’t too surprising. The guy hasn’t looked right all year.

Heavy lies the crown, didn’t think he was captain material………

Just once you want to see these key players rise to the occasion and show some growth in key moments, high pressure situations, additional responsibilities. Like I’m a 10 year veteran now, I’ve learned all the lessons and let’s take it to another level. But it’s always this uncomfortable squirming about and shrinking from the moment. Slow adjustment, need more time etc.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Being cautious would have had absolutely no effect on why Willy missed games last playoffs.

Ok

Can’t wait for the season ending presser where Shanahan once agin makes excuses for running it back to infinity and beyond……….

[All Mod Cons]

I'm with you Auston. f*** playing the Bruins.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

He looked braindead at the end of the last game, slick pass to Willy notwithstanding.

I'm not questioning his heart or whatever but for once I'd like our top players to take responsibility and not play through lingering injuries in what should be a fairly meaningless regular season.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Upper body injury = the weight of the C on his chest

 

[Niagara Bill]

He has become the toughest guy on the ice. I find it strange that players the should be harder the play against have become pacifists. This team still is divided in 2 parts.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

Gotta love our fans.

Almost as lovable as people without a sense of humor.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Which weapon you talkin bout

Shot

 

[rumman]

Almost as lovable as people without a sense of humor.

Probably went over his head……..

 

[killer1980]

He's booked for 5 commercials this week. Just hope he doesn't have to lift anything heavy.

 

[myleafs]

He hurt his back sitting on his wallet. It's tough to be the highest paid player in the world.

Over combed his stash and got a touch of carpal tunnel. It happens.

 

[capfit9]

guy hasn't played a full season since his rookie year, most of them being for Keefe's system which isn't exactly physically demanding relatively speaking.

 

[Doublerum1975]

lol what a joke every time he’s playing like crap oh I’m injured maybe just maybe you are just playing bad

 

[Mess]

Because of Matthews ridiculous contract $13.25 mil every time he can't go and he is replaced with a player making near league minimum like say Nic Robertson $875k then Leafs will be playing over $12 mil below the league ceiling for this game.

Because of the way he impacts the Leafs salary cap and team they ice, put the Leafs at a huge disadvantage so when he misses time it better be he is injured, and not just a pain threshold he is unwilling to play through because his contract is guaranteed whether he plays of not.

Even a Matthews at 50% health at 13.5 mil/2= $6.75 mil essential cap hit >>> league min or AHL call up.
