Former Toronto Maple Leaf, Jay Rosehill, weighed in on the debate surrounding Auston Matthews' injury that sidelined him for the third period of game 4 and games 5 and 6 against the Boston Bruins. Initially the injury was believed to be food poisoning at the worst time but it may be more than that.
According to Rosehill, Matthews may have suffered a hard crash into the boards during game 80, which initially left him rattled but able to continue playing.
The former NHL player emphasized the importance of not taking risks with a franchise player like Matthews, suggesting that the team's priority was ensuring his long-term health and well-being.

So, here's my take on Auston Matthews' situation: He took a hard crash into the boards in game 80, right? He toughed it out and kept playing, but then the symptoms started creeping in and getting worse. So, the team made the call to shut him down. I mean, you don't mess around when it comes to a franchise player like Matthews. Can't say it's confirmed, but it definitely adds up.
Here's the play he was referring too.
While Rosehill's comments provide some insight into the situation, they also add fuel to the ongoing speculation surrounding Matthews' injury. Fans and analysts have been debating the specifics of what happened and how it will impact the Maple Leafs' playoff run.
