Lindros never learned to protect himself because he never had to. He never learned and it cost him the last few years of his career. Mathews is on the same path right now.
Two shoulder separations and a concky in 2 and a bit seasons. Time to start keeping his eyes up and not opening his body up to take those heavy shots.
He’s out a month.maybe six weeks. Naz can play on the second line and they can play 500 till Mathews gets back. The Leafs like the raps have to be picking up speed as the playoffs start. They have time. Without Mathews the Leafs are just another good team who will make the playoffs. With him they are in the conversation to win the Cup. It’s on him to find the line between playing in traffic without reservation and being aware enough not to open himself up to absorb some pretty hellacious shots.
