Just a reminder that there are a ton of star players who had tons of injury history in their younger playing days and eventually figured it all out. Barkov was one, Crosby another. Even Malkin went almost a decade without playing a full season.

So this doesn't mean he is somehow a bad player. It just really sucks :/
Who ever said he was a bad player?

Hilarious for sure! nothing funnier.

Look, I know you're a salty fan that overreacts and reads more than there is into comments on the internet. What's hilarious is that a mod took something way out of proportion and distorted my comment (kind of like you just did).

I'm not happy Matthews was hurt. I just appreciate the irony of me being right.

Just leave the thread man, this is not a good look.

Fortunately the leaks play some crappy teams over the next 4 weeks. Teams that they can beat with both Matthews AND Tavares injured. Calgary, Dallas, vegas, New Jersey, Philly. Some of these Kadri could play first line centre for, and hes filling in at 2 now.

I think they take this in stride.
Very optimistic... this is actually bad news for the Leafs.

The lesson in all this? Matthews really, really needed a random phantom assist in his rookie season.

It was a nothing hit as well. Guess Matthews is just really injury prone.
Wtf? No it wasn't. It was a pretty hard hit, and Matthews completely absorbed it into his shoulder. Most guys would fall over from a hit like that which would help brace the impact. Trouba is a strong motherf***er

of course it is. But you can't expect a team to stay healthy all year, no team does. Looking at the schedule, I just think the problems will be minimized. It may take a couple of those games, like the two against Boston, and one against pittsburgh, and give the other team more of a chance. Maybe instead of 2 or 3 wins from those games, they get 1 or 2. But many of the rest of those games, the Leafs can win without them.

Do you guys still think Matthews is going to be worth 12 mill? His play style sure as hell is worth around that much but with him being this injury prone? Very unfortunate, I want to see him have a full season

If this thread degenerates into a joke-fest over an injured player, it will be closed.

If this thread degenerates into more bickering between fan bases, it will be closed.

If this thread degenerates into anything that carries the slightest whiff of personal insults, off-topic ramblings, or unqualified medical conclusions, it will be closed.

If you're thinking there's a very narrow path on which this topic can be discussed without being closed, you're correct.

Yes he should and will get paid anything he wants. If he gets injured they will get cap space back anyways. They can point at injury history and he can laugh and point at the list of 30 other NHL teams.

I don't think many people fully understand this. Even if Matthews was against the boards it wouldn't have been as bad because Matthews would have hit to boards with the other side of his body allowing it to eat some of the energy from the hit. The way the hit happened all the energy went into the one shoulder.
