Well then, sometimes it could be upper body, sometimes it could be lower body, sometimes it could be both.

I think Dreger alluded to it being unlikely that he's available for the weekend but Dreger also often walks back the things he says so who knows

Yes I think it has to be something gastrointestinal given how he shits the bed every year.

Honestly I wonder the same thing. Dude often looks like shit and 'sickly' half the time with giant bags under his eyes
it was strange he wasn't taking any one-timers this year after having a surprising amount of success with them out of the blue last year. Probably his shoulder or back. Also this thread is embarrassing.

44 is Rielly good
It makes sense considering how physical hockey is and the number of games they play.
Of the major NA leagues, only football can really be considered more of a physically demanding league and they only play 17 games + playoffs.
There's also been more of an injury crisis throughout most European soccer leagues and they "only" play ~2 games a week. The injuries are more related to fatigue than physical contact, but the point is the same that most professional athletes are being asked to play more games than in the past due to the financial potential of an increased schedule.
The NHL also apparently looking to get a few more games in (in addition to more tournaments like the 4 nations).

Last time that was the case he was struggling with his fast pivots on the boards, doesn’t look as bad this time.

Give him as much time as needed. I don't care. We need him game 1 all healthy and ready to go on April 20th (or whenever the game 1 of the playoffs is)

Man he is soft. I don’t think I could count on one hand the number of times he has been hurt
Hopefully the team knew when they backed up the dump truck of money on his door step

Sometimes I wish he'd take his 50 goals elsewhere to an appreciative fan base.
Toronto whiny ass fans deserve being in the doldrums every season.

This is the most appreciative fanbase in the league and it's not close. Every other team is actually incentivized to try and win because their fans will stop supporting.

Sure buddy.
Like I said, I hope you all get your own way and he moves on at some point.

It's objectively true. Only Leaf fans would pay the prices they pay for the crap they watch. Even Montreal fans react to their team sucking, Leaf fans don't. Win, lose, or tie!
whatever you do don't read the Marner thread

Insider Trading: Matthews’ availability for the weekend still 'TBD' | TSN
TSN's Hockey Insiders discuss the latest on Toronto’s injured captain, Predators GM Barry Trotz explaining his 'rebuild' comment, the focus for the Montreal Canadiens, an update on cut-resistant equipment in the NHL, and the NCAA lifting its ban on CHL players.

The concern over Auston Matthews' injury has ratcheted up after he missed practice again on Thursday. What is your understanding of Matthews' timeline?
Johnston: I don't see any reason for anyone to freak out or panic too much just yet because the plan still is what it has been all along; Auston Matthews is resting his body and giving himself a chance to recover.
As we look ahead to the weekend there are back-to-back games for the Leafs. I wouldn't expect to see him on Friday when the Leafs host the Detroit Red Wings, but Saturday's game against Montreal, at least at this point in time, has not been ruled out. He's in a position to return as soon as then.
The Leafs and Matthews are taking this day-by-day with an injury that he's been managing to some degree since training camp. It's been a busy schedule and I think the Leafs and Matthews here are mindful of where they're at. There's nothing yet to suggest this is going to be a long-term thing.
