[WillyC]

Looks like it’s gonna take 65 in 60 games to reach 70… Rockets are back on the menu gentlemen.

No reason he can't still hit 50+
45 in 60 is very doable.

Damn I miss our boy playing against Coyotes

 

[the squared circle]

Hopefully he skips that mid season four cup tournament thing

He was named to the team a long time ago. Why would he skip it? Players have been dying for the chance to play best on best for a long time.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Pretty excited about his return. I don't even care if he helps the team, I just really like watching him play.

With the advent of sports gambling isn't it obligatory to infor the gambler that certain players will not be participating in a game. How can you place a bet without full disclosure. Withholding injury information is effecting fair betting practices

We will see tonight if his shot is back to normal.

On one side.. we have the best goal scorer in the league back in the line up..

on the other hand... this kills the LTIR cap loophole possibility ala Vegas/Tampa

What assets do we have to trade for 13mil worth of players?

I don’t know about Canada, but in the US we have HIPAA which basically means only covered entities ( providers, insurance, etc ) cannot disclose PHI without consent. The media are not covered so they could disclose PHI depending on how they obtained the information. Typically they don’t report it because they don’t want to strain relationships.

We have PIPEDA in Canada which applies to all corporations. It is a very broad legislation covering collection, disclosure and consent at it relates private and personal information.

They haven't withheld game status. They've only withheld specific details of the injury.

I’m not a gambler but I would think if nobody was aware of the particulars all is fair. Sure the team may know but I’d think the league has that situation covered

wow big if true

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

On Leafs talk after the game they were saying how his shot doesn't look the same and his shot doesn't look the same and he still doesn't look quite right.

I disagree he's got 3 points in his 2 games back, that shot on the goal he scored last night looked pretty good to me.
I'm sure there is still a little bit of rust but I thought he looked better last night then he did against Tampa

[Confucius]

2nd star across the NHL last night. Just easing back,,,

 

[Stephen]

The way he’s played the Washington and Pittsburgh back to back, not a good sign.

 

[The Shadow]

looked like dog out there

 

[Maple Leaf]

should take a paycut to 10m
Need better bottom six

 

[BallardEra]

The way he’s played the Washington and Pittsburgh back to back, not a good sign.

He still isn't 100% and I'm maintaining that this is a back issue until the Leafs tell me otherwise.

 

[Nineteen67]

If was still hurting he wouldn’t be playing. Some is rust but mostly it’s just who he is, a little selfish, lower hockey IQ player that played showcase hockey his entire life.

He still isn't 100% and I'm maintaining that this is a back issue until the Leafs tell me otherwise.

He wouldn't be playing

 

[BallardEra]

He wouldn't be playing if he was still hurting.

It's quite possible that it's something that won't get better or worse without surgery. They've tried rest and they've tried German injections. Surgery might be a last resort after the season.

Then he should pull himself from the 4 nations and rest. If he wont the Leafs should.

I think he’s fine, physically.

 

[Leafs98]

We have to assume Matthews only plays at 100%. He wouldnt be playing otherwise. Selfish or not.
