Injury Report: AM34 Out for minimum 6 weeks (August 13th.).

[zeke]

Guessing there's no chance. I would bank on him missing about 10 games and taking a couple of months to be even close to himself.

Funny how leafs fans can turn a 6 week recovery into a 12 week recovery just like that.

 

[Lil Tuzzi Bert]

If the 6 week timeline is still on track then he should be back not this weekend but next

 

[djdev]

for everyone asking why they waited to do the surgery should ask the pens why crosby elected to get the same wrist surgery 5 days ago. just because fans dont understand it, doesnt mean the reasoning wasnt legitimate.

 

[Menzinger]

The handwringing over this has been so silly.

In his own words they opted to take a more cautious/ conservative approach to treatment

He's following the guidance of the medical professionals employed by the Leafs.

Anyone who was suspecting he delayed the surgery so he could enjoy some golfing and summer fun doesn't know what's up.

Well, I said longer than that for full recovery if you wanna get technical.

Edit:

“It's coming along well. It's a couple more weeks until I can get out of the splint and start really rehabbing and build my strength back," Matthews said, per NHL.com. "I'm going to get back on the ice this week. I'm really hopeful to be ready to go in Game 1."

Seriously, that's September 27 to *start* rehabbing the wrist and he's only starting to skate this week. I'll bet you a $100,000 SB cash (whatever that is) that he won't be playing game 1 and won't be himself until somewhere around Christmas.

Well shit, kinda dulls my excitement for the season

I didn't even realize that it was his left wrist that got operated on. That seriously sucks because that will effect his shooting way more.

Now that you say it, yeah, I thought it was his right wrist? I remember because people were saying that the top hand is the more critical one and somehow it has a bigger effect on the power behind the shot and that didn't make sense to me.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Would it really be a huge tragedy if he has to miss a few games

 

[yubbers]

I don't think we should be critical of certain groups of people's choice of expression through fashion. I would recommend listening to those groups to better understand their culture vs calling them idiots or comparing their attire to what a young, drunk, entitled athlete did to harass a female trying to do a job.

The attempted breaking into the car was another bad decision by this guy who was supposed to be captain material. Any woman in that situation would be fearful for her life. I wouldn't for a second try to diminish her experience as I've never been a woman in a car at night being approached by a drunk man trying to get into my car who has just exposed his underwear to me. It's impossible to walk in those shoes, so I will just assume it was a scary experience and say that it demonstrates how ill prepared Matthews is to lead anything.

Hopefully he has paid restitution to the female and grown up in the process.

What possible answer to you expect to get for wearing your pants low? Hahaha

 

[peconcan]

Hope he’s good to go for opening night, got tickets for the game and that’d suck to not see him out there

 

[ULF_55]

(6 * 7) - 36 = next week?

He's played 2 full seasons out of 5.

Be nice to see another.

Read that Zeisberger tweet above. End of the month before he even gets the splint off. I wouldn't count on it.

Who knows, maybe he'll be a little rusty, and I think this has been an issue for a while now although it probably just got to the point he had to have the surgery.

With Matthews:

 

[diceman934]

You don't know that. None of us do. No point speculating about what he did or didn't do.

It was Mathews who attempted to open the door and he was charged and went to court.

How do you have tickets for the game?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Probably a season ticket holder with tenure over others.

I have season tickets. They haven't released them yet since they don't know how many will be allowed in.

That actually makes more sense.

These skits are still funny after all these years

Got them on GameTime, bought Jays tickets on there a few weeks ago too

Does worry me though now that you say you’re a ticket holder and haven’t got yours. I know the site is legit since I’ve used it for the Jays all summer

If it’s a legit site then I’m sure you have nothing to worry about. When do you receive the tickets?

Email says October 12th at the latest, they are virtual tickets so they just send you a link to click over email and then you have them
