Cut wide open? Hyperbolic, eh? Hope he gets well soon though.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

It’s fiiiiiiiiiine.

 

[IPS]

No people, he wasn't playing injured. Let's just get that out of the way right now.

 

[TMLeafer]

Come on man. Title updated.

 

[justafan22]

His injuries during his 3 seasons have all been upper body.

The only reported surgery I can find is the one he had done after his broken femur in 2013.

It's probably a schedule proceedure.

 

[Al14]

Hopefully, this hardware, was holding him back.

He's now free to soar like an eagle!

Yes, I saw what I did there.

 

[IPS]

Come on man. Title updated.

Thank you. These hyperbolic titles are so annoying.

 

[Coachcorner]

Come on man. Title updated.

Sorry sires. Tried to change it afterwards, but couldn't. Thank you for making the changes like tupac.

It was his broken femur from his season with USNDP. Likely to remove screws or metal inserts from that surgery. Has nothing to do with his recent incidents.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Great, now our star player's gone play without a hardware!

Does anyone know what the injury was from 2014?

Does anyone know what the injury was from 2014?

Per The Score's report "Matthews suffered a broken femur from a knee-on-knee collision while playing for the USA Hockey U17 National Team" which required surgery. So I assume it was some sort of plate or screws being removed.

 

[mclaren55]

Must have been causing him an issue. I have plates and screws in me and the surgeons always tell me "We will only take it out if it starts to cause discomfort or an issue". But who knows. I've had mine for over 8 years.

Does anyone know what the injury was from 2014?

Probably his broken femur.

5 things you likely don't know about Auston Matthews

3. A broken femur sustained as a member of USA Hockey's Under-17 National Team Development Program provided valuable lessons this season when he was injured with Zurich in Switzerland.

Matthews broke his femur in his second game with the U-17 NTDP after a knee-on-knee collision on Sept. 14, 2013. He returned to the lineup Dec. 6, 2013, and finished with 12 goals and 33 points in 24 games; he had 12 goals and 17 points in 20 games for the U-18 NTDP later that season. Matthews sustained a back injury this season in Zurich and missed six games, but he knew what needed to be done after going through the previous injury with the USNTDP.

Matthews: "The injury with the U-17's was a little more serious since I needed surgery. Obviously, that wasn't the best time in my life. I was just beginning my career with the NTDP in Ann Arbor (Mich.), and that happened. I think it made me stronger mentally and stronger as a person. When I was injured this year in Zurich, it was tough, but just going through what I did at the NTDP, and knowing how to handle it, was important. I did whatever I could do for my back through rehabilitation. I was motivated to get back and start playing again. The most important thing was listening to the doctors and doing whatever I could do within the rules, whether it was going out and shooting on your own or sitting down, stick-handling and doing whatever you can to keep sane."

It’s weird the Leafs even issued a release about this.

 

[Warden of the North]

Hmmmm.

 

[Slyfox]

So all his back issues were tied to this...wtf

 

[MeowLeafs]

Cut wide open? Hyperbolic, eh? Hope he gets well soon though.

What was the name of the title before it got changed? Was it click-baity?

Information that evokes empathy - especially during a time of confusion and duress, like the one the club is going through at the moment - does wonders for impression management.

 

[bluesfan94]

What was the name of the title before it got changed? Was it click-baity?

“Matthews cut wide open in surgical procedure”

Or something to that effect. I clicked on it cause it was a recent thread on the home page and it sounded wild.

 

[GoonieFace]

I heard it was Nylander's heart.

 

[al secord]

Generational surgical hardware.

They tryin to uh, take the presha off of the people of the organization. Making an illusion behind the wizard of oz behind the curtain that some of our peeps was treal injured all along and all.
