What happens if Mathews comes back we lose? Buff is better without Tage too.

Aside from the win/loss stats I don’t think there’s any direct correlation to us winning at a higher percent with him out. It’s typically a small sample size. We’re not looking at a significant sample size

I always thought ‘day to day’ meant that the player is assessed daily to see if he’s ready to play.

42-20-2 without him. 64 games. 86 points out of a possible 128 (67%). Not a small sample size at all. The playoffs is a small sample size, but you get the Stanley Cup at the end of it if you win. The Olympics and World Cup are even smaller.

Will Matthews fly home for Thanksgiving dinner with his family? Or will he still be out bar-to-bar.
 
The only thing I find interesting about this whole thing is that the media in this city is so docile that they won't even hint at what the injury is, even though they all absolutely know what it actually is. There is no way that other players, training staff, etc. aren't talking about it to members of the media off the record.

Simmons would've spilled if he knew. I doubt the team mates know. And the staff is likely under a gag order from Matthews and his "team" (the team he cares about, not the hockey team he plays on).

SIMMONS: Exclusive details on Auston Matthews' medical visit to Germany

Toronto Sun Exclusive: Superstar Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews saw controversial doctor in Germany for undisclosed injury
torontosun.com torontosun.com

Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews travelled to Germany recently, apparently to visit a superstar sports medicine physician, two former National Hockey League players have confirmed to The Toronto Sun.

The physician, Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, is internationally recognized for his work with big-name athletes and has a celebrity patient list that includes eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, superstar singers Bono and Luciani Pavararotti, and former big-name athletes such as Boris Becker, Maurice Greene, Vitali Klitschko and Franz Beckenbauer.

Most recently, the doctor treated San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey for his Achilles injury at his clinic.

Apparently, people travel from all over the world to meet with the 82-year-old Muller-Wollfahrt, the former team physician for the famed soccer club, Bayern Munich, as Matthews did on this recent occasion.

He went accompanied by Leafs team physician, Dr. Noah Forman. Muller-Wohlfahrt also was Germany’s national soccer team doctor for 13 years.

It isn’t known if Matthews decided on his own to make the Germany trip, or whether others close to him helped make that determination.

When asked about the visit to Dr. Muller-Wohlfahrt, Matthews’ agent Judd Moldaver offered a “no comment.”

When Leafs general manager Brad Treliving was asked about it, he said he wouldn’t comment other than to defer to what he already has said on “Auston’s injury and related care.”

Neither Moldaver nor Treliving went so far as to deny that Matthews is the latest star athlete to have treated by Muller-Wohlfahrt. With the Leafs off for the day, Matthews was not available to comment on Thursday.

The Jamaican sprinter, Bolt — maybe the greatest Olympic performer ever — apparently is so close to the doctor that he dedicated the final 100-metre victory of his remarkable career to Muller-Wohlfahrt. And, after that race in 2016, the doctor bragged that he was aligned with five of the eight finalists from the next 100-metre world championship men’s race.

The injury Matthews is currently struggling with has never been revealed by either the very private Matthews or by the hockey club. In Germany, sources indicated the suspicion was it was either a back injury or a wrist injury. Muller-Wohlfarht is well known, also, for his work with knee injuries and with soft-tissue injuries.

So it's either the back... or the wrist... or his knee... or any other soft tissue. :huh:

In the playoffs it was his shoulder... or his wrist... or his knee... or his flu... or his head. :badidea:

What does knowing exactly what the injury is matter? Personally I don’t care, sore wrist, bad back, groin pull, who cares, knowing the length of time off I’m curious about. Anytime I’ve had an injury dr’s gave me estimates, although onetime I was told, we don’t know how long.
