Chris Johnston sur X : « Sheldon Keefe sur Auston Matthews : « Pour une raison quelconque, ce n’est pas une de ces maladies quotidiennes banales qui vont et viennent. Celui-ci a persisté. Les effets persistent et s’aggravent lorsqu’il entre sur la glace et s’affirme. »

We’re so cursed boys lol
Surely, there has to be a correlation between the amount of illness this team has suffered this year and the Bertuzzi signing.
This shit writes itself at this point
He should have licked Marchand
Leafs are actually cursed. No Nylander for 3 games for unknown reasons and now Matthews with a mystery illness that gets worse the harder he tries.
Pain
My guess. He got a concussion slamming into the boards in one of the last regular season games. Forget who it was against, but it was hard.
If the team is good enough they’d win anyways but they aren’t so it doesn’t really matter. If pastrnak got the shitties I’m sure the bruins would still win because they can actually get goals from other lines
Does this guy have listeria or something wtf
It’s called the playoff flu. Its running rampant through the room
We’re cooked 😭
Let Auston and Willy sit.
This shit is over. Give all the minutes to Marner.
Sounds like the leafs in general
I dont buy any of this shit lol
Yeah we have no chance Tuesday
Curse of Harold Ballard continues
Is it a coincidence that we signed an antivaxer and our team has been fighting shit all year?
Blue and white disease
He got poisoned in Boston
Playoff disease
In-blue-enza
Our Prince got Lyme Disease smdh
I’m at the point where the logo is just cursed
Bertuzzi was a biological weapon sent by Boston, you can’t convince me otherwise
endless suffering
The playoffs couldn’t have come at a worse time for us.
Matthews sick, Nylander migraine, Marner lingering ankle injury, Bobby Mac injured
LC
So, he definitely shit his pants then?
I don’t even care anymore.
All I know is that we keep Willy forever.
Matthews? Mystery illness.
Nylander? Migraines.
Marner? Brain shambles.
Tavares? Old.
I’m losing faith in the comeback.
Oh boo the guys Toronto is paying top dollar for just so happen to all get sick at this crucial point of the year. Was this a mass food poisoning event, say, through a recent team dinner?
The Boston flu
Sounds a lot like long COVID. He could have had a symptomless infection and then the LC kicked in. Would explain a lot. Just speculation but we all better hope that’s not it or he might never be the same again.
Playoff-itis is a real bitch of a condition. It’s no joke. It recurs annually and once you get it, you are more susceptible to it every year.
The comments in this post have me in stitches. Thanks for the laugh. I really needed it after last night.
Get this man some depends
For the Good and Welfare of ice hockey, this Stars fan (me) wishes Auston Matthews good health. Its only fun beating your opponent if they’re at their best. Its only fun punching them oot if they deserve it. 🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🦜
I think late-Aprilitis is cured with a sport psychologist, not a normal doctor
I get what keefe’s trying to say here. But jesus, everything just sounds like excuse after excuse
Fuck, that sounds like long covid…
These guys getting some mutant ninja turtle illnesses
It’ll be interesting to see people’s comments that are joking now if it turns out to be something quite serious
It’s like he’s sarcastically describing his couch surfer brother in law’s inertia in attempting to apply for jobs (just replace ‘ice’ with ‘pavement’)
He should come back and throw up on the Bruins to curse them too
Covid?
Has it been lingering for 7 years?
Did it linger when he was trying for 70? Could he not have rested and been ready for the playoffs by then?
Jesus fucking Christ, of all the things, this is the dumbest fucking thing I’ve read all day. If your star player and top-3 in the league is sick at the end of the season, do you 1.) let him rest for the playoffs, or 2.) let him bully you around and make you let him chase 70?
Fire the whole management staff. It’s a joke top down.
Its Lupus. Where tf is Hugh Laurie
Is it flakeritis?
Blah blah blah, fuck what Keefe says. That guy is a fucking pussy who’s too scared to hold his players accountable.
