Rumors are swirling about Auston Matthews possibly being sidelined due to a concussion, sparking speculation after a tweet by former Maple Leafs enforcer Jay Rosehill.
According to Rosehill, Matthews may have sustained a hard crash into the boards during a game, leading to symptoms that worsened over time, prompting the team to shut him down.
My two cents on Auston Matthews
Had a hard crash into the boards in game 80
Was rattled but played through it. As he did, symptoms came up and got worse.
They shut him down. Not messing around with a franchise player
A video circulating online shows the moment of the alleged incident, where Matthews collides with William Nylander and hits the back of his head on the boards.
This incident occurred during a game that held little significance for the Leafs, as they were already guaranteed the third seed in the Atlantic Division.
This has gotta be where Auston Matthews got hurt , collided with *** Nylander and hits the back of his head on the boards. Looking back could easily be a concussion. Meaningless *** game and now we don't have him for the playoffs
Now, with their season on the line, Matthews' absence could greatly impact the team's chances as the Maple Leafs prepare to take on the Bruins on home ice.
