Player Discussion Auston Matthews Discussion

[Sizzle]

Im going to speculate that he was playing with an illness Saturday night (game 4) and then something happened late in the 2nd period with his left ankle / left leg (someone posted a screenshot). I bet ankle sprain.

 

[Leafs98]

He'd be isolated from the team if it was a highly contageous virus ...no? I go with the theory of food poisoning followed by a real game 4 injury.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Would be nice to roughly know his status about now,..

 

[arso40]

Leave marner with them and put matthews with nylander maybe?

Cool nuh shotta

 

[hullsy47]

I just hope he's not having concussion symptoms or something and they're just covering it up

One thing that needs to be looked at
The leafs played some desperate teams down the stretch
Every key guy got hit ,or put themselves in a vulnerable situation to get rocked
Including mathews going balls out trying to get 70
They have assed the last 10 games
Instead u ramping up
That's coaching

It's one of two things:

- Concussion from Game 80 when he fell into the boards.
- Partial Knee Tear from the incident with McAvoy in Game 3.

 

[67leafs]

I’m going with knee tear…..doubt it’s a concussion.

 

[34]

He is out due to in injury for sure, not an illness.

Lets just hope he is ready for game 7 if the team gets there.

 

[leafsrdue]

I am inclined to cut him a lot of slack. If he could play he would be out there. We will find out the truth after they are done. Why waste your energy on speculation?

Chris Johnson confirmed it’s an injury suffered in game 4.

You could argue that his head snapped back again in the tussle with McAvoy. I’m going with concussion because I’ve had a concussion and the first few symptoms are illness like. Vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsy.

The concussion stuff is nonsense. CJ said as well it happened off a hit in game 3/4. Most plausible is this:

How’s that not a call?

Based off the Bennett-Knies chokeslam WWE moves are allowed in playoffs

Well that sucks, hopefully nothing serious that will keep him out of the line up…should the Leafs make it to the second round.

How’s that not a call?

That is his right knee.

 

[Tony Romo]

Lol...
Headache and now a stomach ache...yet everyone is picking on Marner who is no where near 100% playing with a high ankle sprain

Hey Paul, considering he played when he needed wrist surgery and the doctors pulled him this go around safe to say this isn’t his decision!

Chris Johnson confirmed it’s an injury suffered in game 4.

His right leg definitely did not bend the way it normally would.

I had someone mention to me they saw on TV where they thought Matthews told the trainer "I can't skate". I also read/heard somewhere else that it wasn't classified as an upper-body injury, and instead a lower-body one. So it's quite plausible and likely that he is dealing with something that is severely hampering his ability to play. If he could push through it, I'm sure he would.

 

[Forecheck1]

its knee injury - should be playing - thats why this group loses

 

[ITM]

It's one of two things:

- Concussion from Game 80 when he fell into the boards.
- Partial Knee Tear from the incident with McAvoy in Game 3.

His dwindling mobility was visible in real time.

There was no concussion protocol followed.

 

[The Masters]

im going with pissing blood
exhaustion / kidney stone/ hernia issue

 

[Gilmour1996]

Maybe you should deliver a few of these to the trainer then:

Chris Johnson confirmed it’s an injury suffered in game 4.

Where did he confirm that?

He said it's believed he suffered an injury but never mentioned in what game.
