It's not a completely fake injury. He's shown up at events with a wrist brace. It's likely just a minor thing that could do with some extra rest.
i dont remember what game was it when someone hit his hand really hard... it was a few weeks back and i remember the commentators going on about that it was a hard/nasty slash

Tkachuk is a very good player who doesn't get enough love, so don't mind the choice. The reaction to Nylander going among a certain part of the Leafs fan base would have been hilarious though.

To think the Oilers could have drafted Tkachuk instead of Pool-party...Tkachuk would be amazing on McDavid's wing!

Its absolutely crazy he has been scoring like this with a wrist thats not 100%

Hes 2nd only to Ovie as the league's best goalscorer.
He leads the NHL by a wide margin in goals/60 since he entered the league... he is the most efficient goal scorer in the league, arguably already the best.

Ovi has won 6 of the last 7 rocket Richard's. You know, the award for the leagues best goal scorer?

There is no argument for auston being the best goal scorer.

The rocket is not an award for "the league's best goal scorer". It is an award for the player with the most raw goals in that season.

There is actually a very strong argument for Matthews being the best goal scorer.

I’m sure there are people on here who will be using this at every turn to wash away his faults.

Legs not moving? Injured wrist
Bad defensive turnover? Injured wrist

Its an interesting argument over semantics of it all

Id agree one can easily argue Matthews is the leagues most efficient goal scoree.Though obviously raw totals Ovie has led the league for so long i dont mind giving him the edge for "best".

In 2018 when Tampa Bay hosted the All Star Game they already had Stamkos, Hedman and Vasilevskiy represnting them. However when Hedman got hurt he was replaced by Brayden Point. So I don't think Marner winning the last man in vote would have mattered, unless Nylander or Tavares were asked and they said no.

Uh the difference Toronto wasn’t holding the event.

Keith Tkachuk said on the radio Friday, he got a call from the NHL that a player was dropping out, and that maybe Brady would be asked to join. He said kept his mouth shut for a few hours until they called back and said he was in. Then informed his wife. Brady was in Bahamas at the time.

Well Matthews has only been in the league for 4 of those, and over that span had higher goals/game, higher goals/60 and higher 5v5 goals/60. He leads the league in those categories over that timeframe, by a wide margin. Had Matthews remained healthy the past 2 years the end results would have been different. There is definitely an argument to be made.
