Injury Report: Auston Matthews - Shoulder - Mystery timeline

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Hyman - Glendening - Komarov top line baby lets go

Sounds like a cup run to me

Man, I'm bummed, but my personality always has me thinking the worst possible scenario, so I know I need to stay patient. The way the Leafs report injuries to the media doesn't help though.

Looking back at the incident, it didn't look all that bad when he first got hit, which was a good initial sign, but then it looked worse as he skated away and his eventual reaction on the bench looked terrible. I'd like to think that if it was a really bad injury he would've been in much worse shape immediately after the hit, but then again, what do I know?

*fingers crossed*

Rest him up for a bit, throw Nylander at C.

Marleau - Kadri - Marner
JVR - Bozak - Brown
Leivo - Nylander - Hyman
Komarov - Moore - Kapanen

Hyman - Glendening - Komarov top line baby lets go

and if Komarov can't keep up put in Martin!!!

 

[Macallan18]

are people positive it is a shoulder? thought it could be ribs

What!? Gary Roberts turned Stamkos into a man, made him sweat raw power and testosterone fueled adrenaline juice! Turned little wimpy Stammy into a PPG player that was a driver. No myth, Roberts inspires hockey players, don't be a fool and kid yourself. Gary is a Legend and owns you metaphysically all day and night!

Pretty sure Stamkos has had his share of injuries that Roberts couldn't prevent.

Yup, he's missed quite a bit of time.

Leafs don't practice until noon today, not sure if I can hold my breath for two-three more hours

Lol I'm in the same boat.

Between Babcock's comments, Marner's comments and Matthews bench reaction, I'm expecting the worst.

Also, Stamkos became what he is because he is just a talented player. Only reason he had 23 goals his rookie year was because that dinosaur Melrose had him on the 4th line all season until he was fired. Stamkos had just 4 points in 16 games and was a healthy scratch 3 times until they got rid of Melrose and he started tearing it up afterwards. Stamkos was always going to be a superstar whether he worked out with Roberts or not.

Can you say Alyn McCauley ?

Honestly think we’re wasting our time anyways waiting for Babcock presser. He’s just gonna say upper body day to day regardless even it’s actually day to day or 2 months.

What did Marner say?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

What did Marner say?

he said something about how much it sucks and that Matthews is a once in a lifetime player, but he'll come back stronger. I wouldn't read into that at all, since it was right after the game and Marner probably had no clue what his health was like

Toronto downtown is about an hour-and-a-half away from where I live.... I might just drive down the ACC now and start asking questions myself

 

[trellaine201]

Sucks , I bet it’s longer term. What a shame. Maybe we should sell, sell off JVR. Depending on how long this injury is.

 

[Walshy7]

What is your deal? Do you hate Auston? Life? Jesus. "Shutting him down is gonna be quite easy"??? What planet are you on? The dude is already playing injured and still scores every other game.

He is 100% contrarian. If for some reason we all turned on Matthews (I know not possible) his stance would be Matthews is the greatest. He only exists to do the opposite of everyone else

 

[X66]

What did Marner say?

"It sucks. He’s a big part of this team. He’s a once in a lifetime player on a team, so it’s nice to have that and it sucks when you see him go out of a game. But he’ll come back stronger, he’ll be fine."

Just came off weird to me, like they know it's a bit more serious than a normal injury.

I work right next to the ACC, I have you covered

Yeah I was thinking the same thing... no coach is better at playing dumb with the media than Michael Bobcat

 

[WilliamNylander]

yeah right.. more like komarov comes up to play with nylander and hyman

I hope not...Kappy deserves some better linemates.

Hyman - Nylander - Kapanen is a decent line you can shelter and give Kadri line the tough matchups.

Cut out the garbage please. Thread cleaned up and warnings/thread bans will be issued if there's more.

Let's just wait until a reporter from practice tweets an update.

This thread isn't about your medical degrees or Gary Roberts.

 

[thewave]

If it is actually broken isn't that a 12 week injury including reconditioning it?

 

[Muston Atthews]

Looked like his back to me

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Looked like his back to me

That would be a bad thing.

Players are targeting him
Just like Philly took down McDavid.
