Everybody is talking concussion with Matthews, but I wonder?
We know he was hurt earlier, they never really told us what it was, so we mostly assumed back...could have been shoulder, ribs...whatever.
What if that unexpected hit from Reily triggered that injury?
As soon as he's hit he bends over, and I think he just takes his glove off to adjust his helmet which would be sliding down...he didn't grab his head because it hurt.
Again, it's easy to assume concussion, but if you don't assume, watch the whole thing and maybe it's a guy who's just hurt something and skates off the ice and sits down gingerly because he thinks he's just re injured himself?
Since the Leafs were already being incredibly silent on what's wrong with him, they are just continuing their policy here. It makes things confusing, but it does not have to mean concussion.
Doesn't mean everything's rosy, just saying.
