Will probably miss a bit of time if he cant lift his shoulder
Sometimes it's those awkward hits that just put something in a place it shouldn't be. They can do damage and are deceptive.That was really weak, it was practically no contact. Sure hope this isn't a thing with him or shutting down AM34 in the PO is going to be quite easy.
He was probably taken out for precautionary reasons. If it were the playoffs he would probably play through.
Now it's just a wait and see, but I imagine he'll be out against Boston tomorrow .. That's going to be a rough game and if he's still even just a little banged up there is no reason to risk worsening it.
I mean I get the Leafs still have that chance at home ice but I'd put the long term health of Matthews ahead of that.

I'm hoping he's fine though.
He was squished awkwardly between two 200 pound nhl players, I wouldn't call that light contact. It might have been slow but that doesn't mean it's not putting your body into a position it shouldn't be in.Forgive me for being concerned that light contact is injuring him. I worry about the Leafs, AM34 is a cog and of course I hope he is well or gets well but the bottom line is his back has issues and now very light contact popped his shoulder? It looked like nothing to me, maybe a tweak. If this is an injury you gotta start thinking about Lupul.

Maybe that's what did in the dressing room? Not going to give Matthews a shot on the bench I guess.I didn't see anything that looked like it would be a problem unless he had a pre existing injury. I've seen dudes throw their own shoulder back in into socket. Sure they are tender but nothing some work and a shot won't take care of.

I some what agree IF this turns into something. That would be 3 separate times where he misses games on seemingly minor plays where he can skate off on own power.
The first he had a nagging injury that he could and did play through. Decided to take care early ok. Makes sense. He said he could play through if needed to
Second he had a bump with rielly. Felt some symptoms and stayed out as a precaution. Ok.
But that hit Too????? It’s never on the boards. He never goes down. Like I thought Hyman was dead last week and he is fine. Just really don’t want to see a pattern. I get that there is no urgency here. We are pretty much 3rd. But still...
Hyman - Glendening - Komarov top line baby lets goAnd you guys didn't want Glendening....pffft.
yeah right.. more like komarov comes up to play with nylander and hymanI’m guessing Nylander to C and Kappy comes up to line 1 with Hyman/Willy
