Really, a target? He is a big boy, 6'3", 215, but a softie. Maybe he should get in better shape and/or go on LTIR until he is truly healthy, however long it takes. Maybe this guy is just injury prone.
Anyone hearing berube yesterday before the game kyper talked about it and even kyper said they should sit him but nope so now reagravated and i say shut him down for a month and let him heal and he will be ready for playoffs plain and simple and use that cap space to beef up the team and win a dam cup look at vegas tampa theyhave all done it why not the leafs
Shut him down till the playoffs like why are we even trying!!! let him heal the team is fine! Who cares it’s a right off for the rocket at this point let’s see what Nylander can do
This is getting ridiculous. I question the leafs management for continuously letting an injured player play, nor should they have let him play in pre-season to begin with. I've been saying it from the get-go, shove Matthews into LTIR, let him recover properly for a longer period of time and bring him back in the playoffs. The leafs play well without him and management could pull a Vegas move and bring in decent players with his money for the playoffs.
LTIR - also other Leafs develop as Matthews recovers. Leafs changed this year from the same old - old core. I agree. Why not try something that works in Vegas?
Soft like butter, it all started when he pushed his ass off for 70 goals, then he shits the bed after in playoffs, like he doesnt really care about it compared to his 70 goals.
Check his takeaway and hit stats and think again about him being “soft”. He hasn’t been throwing as many hits since he came back (probably so he didn’t reinsure himself) but he’s not “soft”. Take your trash talk elsewhere.
Agreed Nick. If Matthews can't handle a solid check during regular season play imagine playoffs. LTIR and get; him healthy. Maybe they're slow to put him on LTIR because it would take him out of 4 Nations play?
They are just setting the stage right now. The injury will flare up bad around the trade deadline. Then he will be fully healed by game one of the playoffs.
Ya not shocking. You could tell something was wrong. Shut it down. Winning streak on the way. Love the LTIR angle Nick. Pull a Vegas move. Guess no Four Nations for him!!
I agree with other opinions. Sit Matthews down until he feels right. Matthews should consider not playing in the 4 Nations Tournament. Get Matthews ready for SCP. Enough day to day BS. Sit AM34 out until March or April!
Well I hope Berube will try Kampf with Nylander now. I think he'll play good with Willy, he has speed and size to get Willy the puck, with Knies on left wing.
Trade him now while they can… His not a winner and also soft … Maybe the pressure of being a Captain is too much for him. Big mistake making him the captain and this might be the worst captain to ever wear the blue and white…
Put in on LTIR and if he needs long recovery get him ready for playoffs just use his 13 million dollar cap go trade for couple good players and leafs be fine then 3 games before season ends bring him back mysteriously put other 2 big additions on injury then when playoffs start you have a rested injury free matthews and those 2 big additions to go for cup run😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He doesn’t know how to take a hit look @ the screenshot if you saw that hit during the game and you know hockey you’d be wondering how he ended up down on the boards like that guys gotta learn to brace better and stand guys up needs to give ovi a call
I'm not worried, they tend to play even better without him. Everyone steps up their game
Rest til playoffs!!
Just shut it down until you feel right. The team's got you. Mitchy's got u.
He's a target. Every team is always trying to injure him and it's caught up to him. NHL is a bush league in that respect.
???

What? Ovie everyone has been trying to kill for two decades and he has more hits himself than just about anyone.
Austin Matthews is a band-aid
Anyone hearing berube yesterday before the game kyper talked about it and even kyper said they should sit him but nope so now reagravated and i say shut him down for a month and let him heal and he will be ready for playoffs plain and simple and use that cap space to beef up the team and win a dam cup look at vegas tampa theyhave all done it why not the leafs
injury prone trait added
Separated ribs are no joke
Highest paid contract in the league for an inflatable kitten.
Lol
If this is the new Matthews ( always injured ) then i really dont think he should be resigned after his current contract
I agree, Trade him now, he’s not even in the same league as Mcdavid,Crosby or barkov in terms of mental toughness.
They just signed him Clown.
@@theliftexpert Yes but if he's often injured,wich team will take a chance on him?????
@@denisrodrigue829 penguins 🐧 for Crosby and some draft picks…. Pens need to rebuild and leaf’s need to go for the cup now…
He took short term deal. This is trade off for him.
Let him rest and be ready for playoffs.
Shut him down till the playoffs like why are we even trying!!! let him heal the team is fine! Who cares it’s a right off for the rocket at this point let’s see what Nylander can do
Hey I’m from the leafs game last night in Toronto whats going on

I like that idea
LTIR - also other Leafs develop as Matthews recovers. Leafs changed this year from the same old - old core. I agree. Why not try something that works in Vegas?
Oh no😢
Shut him down til the 4 nations cup. That is when we need him
Just hope Bettman doesn't find a way to disallow it; if ever he would close this loophole, he would do for the Leafs
I remember the years before Wendel went to Quebec we kept our fingers crossed Wendel's back wouldn't flair up.
Soft like butter, it all started when he pushed his ass off for 70 goals, then he shits the bed after in playoffs, like he doesnt really care about it compared to his 70 goals.

1:35 i think he was talking about Murray
Give him the Kucherov treatment, for sure.
Rest matthews til playoffs! Use cap money !!!
Should he be going to 4 Nations Cup ?
He’s injured again?
Agreed Nick. If Matthews can't handle a solid check during regular season play imagine playoffs. LTIR and get; him healthy.
Maybe they're slow to put him on LTIR because it would take him out of 4 Nations play?

Put him on L.T.I.R.
No to the four nations cup for Matthews
Ya not shocking. You could tell something was wrong. Shut it down. Winning streak on the way. Love the LTIR angle Nick. Pull a Vegas move. Guess no Four Nations for him!!

Yes the scary was about Murray not Mathews
This is getting to be quite a pattern with him and concerning because this has happened in multiple different seasons.
13.25 million is 3.25 million more than every player ever to win a cup. Is he better than every player ever and where is this guy in the spring?
Auston Mathews shooting wide, have not seen his usual hard shot. Most likely its the wrist. Could be out for the rest of this Season plus playoffs.
Doesn't help when you get cross checked in the ribs, I doubt the league will even look at it.. but if it was a leafs player
....
Well I hope Berube will try Kampf with Nylander now. I think he'll play good with Willy, he has speed and size to get Willy the puck, with Knies on left wing.
You’re on crack. Kampf is barely NHL calibre.
You can look at like the sky is falling or he’ll be well rested for the playoffs
LTIR him until March . Let him have a month of re training and then hit the playoffs running
Velcome back pontoooos
Mathewa has another concussion
Who? Lol
I think this time...he should stay out until, they allow him to heal up properly.
Trade him now while they can… His not a winner and also soft … Maybe the pressure of being a Captain is too much for him. Big mistake making him the captain and this might be the worst captain to ever wear the blue and white…
They don't trade 13.5 million injured players.
4 to 6
Trade him for PLD. Dubois is never injured and about to get to superstar status.
terrible year to pick him in fantasy, kill me lol
Mathews for Mckinion lol
I think it’s his shoulder. I think he’s gonna need surgery
Back injury
He got hit in the shoulder so I think that had something to do with it. He's had injuries in that area before.
@ryanj357 he got crossed checked in the lower back. Shoulder he'd be avoiding hits but he's not. The back is messing up the torque on his shot.
Marner will get signed now lol. Matthews might be an unfortunate band aid tbh.
🧻
Looks like a rib problem
Gambling is bad !
I hate Matthews getting injured again. Totally reckless and pointless. He was not playing well. Should have been shut down for longer.
Put in on LTIR and if he needs long recovery get him ready for playoffs just use his 13 million dollar cap go trade for couple good players and leafs be fine then 3 games before season ends bring him back mysteriously put other 2 big additions on injury then when playoffs start you have a rested injury free matthews and those 2 big additions to go for cup run😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let me guess…day to day.
great cap space trade him always something with this guy not a winner
He's screwed... get over it.
Auston is a weak man. Leafs can only win a Cup with a captain like Brady Tkachuk
He doesn’t know how to take a hit look @ the screenshot if you saw that hit during the game and you know hockey you’d be wondering how he ended up down on the boards like that guys gotta learn to brace better and stand guys up needs to give ovi a call
How do you know it was the hit and not the crosscheck?
@ very possible sir that 1 behind the net if I remember correctly?
My guess Matthews has a displaced rib or two
