The fact that Toronto is allowing this, AFTER giving him the captaincy and most likely knowing this was a possibility, is a good sign. The team is doing well. Hopefully he comes back stronger than ever
It's a team game. First, the team has now almost fully understood Berube's system, so they are playing better within his structure. Second, without Matthews in the lineup, the team can pass and distribute the puck more evenly, where they aren't funnelling their passes to a specific person every time they are on the ice. That also causes extra stress on the opposing teams since they can't nullify one person and expect the team to not score anymore. Third, he only played for 13 games, he's now away for almost as long as he played. He will still need to adapt a couple of things in his game when he comes back so that the team can keep the upward momentum. But he is still our best goal scorer by a big margin, plays extremely well and responsibly defensively and when healthy is always a threat when he's on the ice. No player apart from top-end stars from other teams could do what he does for the team. Stop the cap.
You must be new. The same occurs with many professional sports teams. It was the same in Toronto during the Sundin years. Grow a few extra brains cells.
Tre, will be making trades sooner then later, too bolster their lineup and for next Spring's playoffs! Expendable players in my opinion are: Robertson, Dewar, Holmberg, Benoit, Benning, and Timmons.
@@twopc3705 No He is right. He had a injury and when they went to clear him he had signs of concussion so they kept him out longer. Nylander had migraines from the lights
It is what it is, if he could play he would. Now collect the cap space and make a move that would actually help for the playoffs. IM still very confident is saying the leafs will still win enough to make them. Mitch and JT have really stepped up and the the entire team is looking really good, One player doesn’t win, a team does and looks like Bérubé has the team going the same direction
4:15 UM yes they DO matter as losing too much this early can screw ur chances of playoffs (Hello Ottawa) or in the Leafs case leave u in 3 AGAIN meaning no home ice in the playoffs.
I believe, Papi's injury, is related to his wrist? Auston needs to be 100%, before returning to the lineup. The team is 6 -1 in his absence. JT, Mitchy, Willie, the defensive corp and goaltending, have all played extremely well! GO LEAFS GO!!!!
@@JimmiJuiceHockeylol ill be the first to admit im a hypocrite for chirping vegas nd tampa for doing it. But after watching dodgers and yankees in the world series i think its only fair lol the one sport where i cheer for a team who has dodgers money is the only league obsessed with parady lol i say montreal and leafs take turns from now on maybe boston nd new york can have one maybe. One of their big 4 teams is in the finals every year anyway. But I'm not salty about it
it wouldnt be so bad if Matthews spoke to the press about the injury. But he does both to us gets injured goes to Germany and doesnt tell us anything. I look at it as a rude thing to do to us and his teammates who would appreciate knowing if he is coming back or not. Esp because he has done this to us before. During last years playoffs. Leaving for 2 most important games and leaving during the potential last game of year in game 4 mid game.
Hot take: with Toronto playing so well without Mathews. Should B. Treliving consider trading him? Before we lose our minds about the idea of trading Mathews, imagine what the return could be. It would be a good opportunity to help fill in problem areas.
Stupid take, not Hot. Who would you even trade your 60+ goal scorer for? Who in earth would be a good enough replacement? Right now, team can't score much. Trading your main goal-scorer is really an intelligent move, eh?
What part of 'NO MOVEMENT CLAUSE" do you not understand? ... Just signed a 4 year deal; just made captain; happy in Toronto ... So sure, clearly he'll approve a trade
One of the most respectful discussions of the JT Miller situation I've come across. Hats off to you guys!
This comment should be pinned! 📌 🤣👍🏾

If the best guy for your injury is in Germany--you go to Germany, cost is not an impediment.
Hope he’s ok but we should question why they are playing better without him.

Possibly they are being more self-reliant. Their injury list is really piling up.
Which one, Mathews or Miller 😂
Top athletes go to Germany for the Regenokine treatment for their injuries.

Concussion symptoms. He missed playoff games last season with headaches and blurred vision. He has not fully recovered.
Why isn't Matthews on the IR?
Matthews was injured, it was Nylander you're thinking of with headaches and blurred vision.
It’s his back. Same doc he saw in 2015 for a back injury while playing for Vsc.

Ha! If by passionate you mean jerk, then yes, J.T. Miller is really really passionate... I'm so glad Tampa got rid of him when they did! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Tell that to last years oilers?

We don't know what's wrong because the teams don't tell the people who pay their salary (the fans) what the injuries are. It's bushleague lol
I'm glad the Leafs aren't pulling a Sabres vs Eichel fiasco lmao!
Sabres are a joke of a franchise
Hairline 💯
That Dr is in Turkey
I thought this was for hair transplant surgery
Getting the best medical treatment you can afford should not be seen as fishy
Stem cells
yep
I smell a ltir strategy coming lol Imagine a team being 13 mil over the cap come playoffs lol
Double edged sword! No Matthews for a full season would stink
Still can't believe Kuch and the bolts pulled it off
😂 That loophole was only meant for southern US teams to help grow their audience by winning cups.

@@alax1313i will gladly take a regular season without austy if he comes back to a squad with barzel and boone jenner lol
Lucky he didn't play for Buffalo, they would trade him...
Likely going to Germany is for privacy...because he doesn't get any here....
Its just a hair transplant! Relax!
Calling an early retirement from Matthews...that's the Leafiest outcome possible..
He’s back in Toronto now. Good job staying on top of things
Hair transplant
Captain Vacation

BALL CANCER!! I sincerely hope not, but it does seem either serious or embarrassing

Seriously…. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard

most likely surgery
The length AM is willing to go to find someone to save his hairline
Hahaha! Next stop might be Turkey to work on his “wrist” 😂
