I'm honestly asking how bad was that hit on him? I was on vacation during that time and didn't see the game, I only read about it after it happened?He has not looked the same since the Kronwall hit. I think his shoulder is hurting. He has not snapped a shot in since.
Hes scored, but not sniped.

If it's true how come Babcock has not taken him out of the lineup like the previous times he was injured?He hasnt looked the same since.

Normally I would say with the Leafs next game not being until Thursday hopefully the days off will do him some good, however the Leafs just had the Christmas break stating on December 23 after their game against Detroit and didn't play again until December 28.I dont know. It just an observation.
Its also fair to say theres a difference between being too injured to play and not running at 100%. Right now he doesnt look like hes running 100%. His hands are just a bit off. His shot isnt quite as snappy.
By no means am I saying hes bad, im just saying hes not at his best right now.

we need Hyman backGramps here. I am the biggest Matty fan. But last night he was invisible. He has trouble with teams who clog up the neutral zone. He has a hard time getting the puck. Once he gets full control there is no one better holding it but he does have some issues getting it when he gets played tight in neutral zone.
we need Hyman back
Hyman has stone hands. Once he gets the puck, he promptly gives it away to the other team. He is so overrated by the coaching staff, and some fans. He doesn't really help anyone. As you can see, Marner, JT, Matthews all are scoring just fine without him. Johnsson is a way better player than Hyman.
They honestly looked better with Hyman over Johnsson. I'd say Matthews also looked better with Hyman and Nylander than he has recently with Marleau in the LW spot.Yup!
Anyone care to dig stats.
Hyman is like 30GP 4 Goals 3 assists on Tavares and Marners line.
Johnsson is like on Gm 4 on Tavares Marners line and has 5Goals 2 assists.
Kappanen went from 4th line to Matthews line and look at him now. Hes our 3rd best scorer. Hyman has never been off JT and Marners line lmao.
If Hyman is back on that line when he is back and not promptly taken off, I will be officially in the we need to have a good look at other coaches category.
Babs has taken this team to great heights... but if he cant adjust to the new NHL and recognize talent properly then we need to pass the torch.
2 assists the last 4 games, not missing Zach at all I guess.Hyman has stone hands. Once he gets the puck, he promptly gives it away to the other team.
