That blatant cross-check at the side of the net that the official had a clear view of would be the aggrivator in my estimation. You could see Matthews wincing after that one.

Ridiculous for that to be a non-call. Even more ridiculous for him to be playing with something that could be reaggrivated so easily.

We won't see him until after the 4-Nations I bet.

Immediately after that he grabbed at his thigh/hip area.

Holy Nerts! If Kampf playing on the top line doesn't convince Tre and Co. that we REALLY need another centre, then I don't know what else would. Christmas trade freeze can't end soon enough. I've got Frost, Gourde and Granlund as my top 3 gets. Who else is available and a fit?

Dylan Cozens possibly.

Brock Nelson but he will not come cheap.

Well that sucks, hopefully Shanahan or Larry T called The Bettman and screamed at him for 20 mins demanding a 3 gamer for the Sabre. That has to be punished to set an example to the rest of the league that that kind of extraneous dirty crap on the leagues stars can't and won't be tolerated.

On the bright side, for a lot of you folks you'll have a real chance at watching Brock Nelson at work and whether or not he'd be something of a real value add for the Bud's.

GLG let's keep it going boys

Those net front cross checks happen dozens of times per game. If you can't take one of those, then you shouldn't be out there.

At this point it makes the most sense moving Kampf up and not disrupting the other lines. Mitch should be able to carry him and he can win draws. Definitely underlines the number 1 need for this team in another top 6 center though. We are one Tavares injury away from being decimated down the middle.

I think Kampf up to the top line at center is the best choice. Our 2nd and 3rd lines are playing well enough that they can likely cover for not having a true 1st line. I certainly wouldn't entertain breaking those lines up just yet.

Yea if Matthews cannot take one of those shots I don't like his chances of getting healthy this year. Like ya, it would hurt, but they happen every game multiple times a game. Seems as though it must be his back that is not 100%.

Howdy Ho's !!

Time to get back to the button down team we were a few weeks ago with this lineup.

Now agree with what others posted here. It's his back.
