>Sheldon Keefe says John Tavares is not feeling himself. He’ll be out of the lineup tomorrow out of precaution.

Knew it was coming but …. FUCK
So he’s done until the playoffs
That sucks so damn much.
I’m gonna guess 4 weeks until he’s back.
I immediately googled how long it takes to recover from a broken finger and cringed.
This was not the worst scenario, a broken hand would have been much worse.
Lmao fuck this team is legitimately cursed and no one can convince me otherwise. It’s actually hilarious.
Why can’t we have nice things!
FUCK
WebMD: “A broken thumb or finger usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks to heal. It can be 3 to 4 months before regular strength returns to the hand or digit.”
That game was a real shit show for us
IMO he’s back immediately following the 24 days, which I expect will be retroactive to yesterday, which suggests he’ll be back for the April 1st game @ Ottawa.
On a shot from Matthews too. Just a cursed ass franchise.
Great.
Fell to my knees in a Walmart
O’reilly will probably push hard to get back. But with this is shows that the Leafs should have focused on shoring up the forwards, not the D.
No need to panic. 10 games would see him back on the 29th against the Panthers. 2-4 weeks is standard for a broken finger and we have time to let him rest during a busy period and get cap relief. Still nine games left after that point.
Dang!
Anything about Matthews? He must have a black and blue knee.
Pain.
That is not ideal.
Cursed ass team
4-6 weeks baby let’s start counting. Should be back in time for game 1!
If it was gonna happen it’s good that it’s happening now instead of later. ROR and Tavares will be good to go come playoff time instead of missing it.
If it’s any comfort the lightning are all banged up to lol
Load manage JT and Matthews then too. Nobody is chasing any individual achievements this year. Sit guys, rest guys…I really don’t care.
Go into round 1 fully healthy and ready to rock
CURSED!!!
I’m generally an optimist so here we go:
1) This team rallies around injuries – the best seems to be brought out of this team when they are down a couple key guys. They are going to play a good game tomorrow. They seem to find ways to win games you don’t expect them to.
2) ROR will be back at the end of the 10 games – with extra rest to push for the playoffs.
3) Tavares is a one-off game. Probably just a few bumps and bruises and having a game off to manage it is not a bad thing.
4) Tampa going through their struggles (Hedman could be out for some time for them as well) at the same time helps.
That game was an old fashioned beat down in every sense of the term. Teams that will not make the playoffs still have an opportunity to make an impact into the playoffs and this could be the case for Vancouver this past weekend.
He’s back for playoffs, relax people
This season is really going Leafy.
On the bright side, that’s 10 games where he can get an injury that would put him out the entire season?
Lol. It should hopefully be enough time to get back and up to speed. I have to imagine he can still at least skate and keep himself in shape.
This organization is cursed you can’t prove me wrong.
Canucks not only clobbered the hell out of us physically, but out of 3 core players. O’Reilly, Matthews and Tavares all left that game aching.
No big deal. He’ll be ready for April.
I’m not a doomer but boy is it hard to follow this team at times. Even when it’s good it’s painful.
The amount of downvotes I got for saying O’Reilly will probably be an injury prone rental player with minimal impact was astounding. Hopefully he comes back strong, but that trade isn’t looking great
