At least I hope so because I thought it was funny. lol Correct, however, in some weird way; maybe that isn't such a bad idea. I don't think I went into detail about the D or Komorov either, but I agree with Akrisoner about the way the series started against Boston last year. I'm hoping for better results this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaf4 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hopefully Matthews isn't out long term, but solid comeback effort by the rest of the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 If I was a Jets fan I'd be pissed, lol, nice late game steal boys! From AM's facial expressions after getting hit, I'm worried it might be a significant injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskymatt Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Now we see how the laffs will do facing adversity. One more injury like this and the laffs will be in trouble. Looks like AM is going to have injuries as part of his career, sucks but that happens. Not wishing any injuries on anyone but they are bound to happen.

chris.brock Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 adversity? we just swept the mighty Jets? the adversity and hatred is in Ottawa watching the Leafs and Habs it's all speculation, but if AM is out for a while it's not like there isn't a ton of fire power ready to step up and enjoy more ice time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acountdeleted Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Matthews out minimum of 4 weeks. That sucks but will give a chance for the young guys to get some more ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Here's hoping but you see it all the time...the "star" goes out, the team rallies to fill the gap, and their performance actually picks up instead of drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Ok, I'll be that guy... does anyone else have concerns about Matthew's long term ability to stay in the line up? We have begun referring to him as the "The Glass Man" here at the house as he seems to get injured a lot. Is a guy who plays 60 games a season going to be worth the money he's going to be asking for next spring? There, pot stirred! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH I hear what you're saying, but Crosby went through the same stuff for a number of years. We can only hope he gets through this and puts it in the past.

Acountdeleted Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I like Matthews work ethic. The last time he had a shoulder injury Babcock said he hit the gym and put a lot of muscle on. Now another shoulder injury, I feel like he is going to do what it takes to get through this and get back as soon as possible. From what I have heard Matthews breathes hockey for breakfast lunch and dinner 365 days of the year. Glass man or not, I'd give him what he wants. He'll figure it out.

Headhunter Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 I'd like to see him use his size more and hopefully, not be on the receiving end of the hits. So at this point, he has had both shoulders injured inside a year. Safe to say that other teams will be gunning for him and his wonky shoulders.

misfish Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 When I seen him cringe after that, it brought back memories of my rotater cuff injury. That is not a fun injury. He is young and in much better shape, then I was in my 30,s when it happen to me, but still not a nice thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 here's another pot stirrer, the Leafs have no toughness or enforcers, opposing players can do as they please without worrying about a beating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Instigator penalty needs to be removed. The hit on Matthews was fine, I don't know why anyone is making such a big deal about it. He wasn't head hunting, it wasn't a knee. It was perfectly clean. Only reason why we're even talking about it is the outcome. Man, it's hockey, **** happens.

chris.brock Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 it was hard and solid but yes, totally clean but, nobody would hit Gretzky with any significant force at all with Semenko around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 Absolutely not, Semenko or McSorley would eat you alive, lol! I still think that should happen today. Try to make a big hit on of of the leagues top players, you should have to answer the dinner bell. Hate the instigator rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 I think being caught with that hit and the net stopping him from actually flowing away from the hit was a big part of it. That same hit into the board would of jarred his shoulder as well. I just like having tough guys on teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
