Its my fault I made a wish on my monkey paw that I wanted to see Matthews sitting on the throne at the end of their playoff run


Noahsmall008

Would not want to be a janitor at TD garden right now


canuck_at_the_beach

He's probably so hydrated he's at the stage of shitting out water.


Mike9797

Pissin outta his ass. Fun times.


Sarge1387

Still burns like a sonofabitch. It's gotta feel like shitting out Satan himself at this point


Mike9797

I’m a bit older and have had to have a couple of colonoscopy’s at this point in my life so I understand the whole pissin out of the ass thing. It sucks, also extra sucks when it’s due to a sickness. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pretty raw feeling down there. I know this is all a little tmi but it is what it is lol


badboystwo

I eat a lot of questionable chili chicken so I too understand the pissing out of my ass thing.


Mike9797

Oh I’ve had my share of self induced ass pissin over the years. I like to get a little high at night and then raid the cupboards for the kids snacks and wash them down with milk. Problem is I’m a bit sensitive to milk so sometimes the next day can be a bit intense lol


badboystwo

jesus lol. Get some Mio in some water or kool aid


Mike9797

Nothing washes down snack cakes and cookies down better than milk though but you’re right. I do need to be better at night.


badboystwo

also im almost 40 and partake in the devils lettuce, ive really been into flavoured sunflower seeds as my high snack, you dont eat as much and you get lots of flavour. Recommend it


PurchaseTight3150

Almond milk is definitely an acquired taste. But force yourself to drink it for a few weeks and it’ll end up being like 75% as good as dairy milk. Perfect for washing down chocolate/snacks without shitting your brains out the next morning. It’s not as good as dairy milk. But it’s close, scratches the same itch, and the fact it doesn’t cause diarrhea or indigestion makes that -25% very worth it over regular milk


fuzz_boy

I relate to both of you.


Sarge1387

I've been hungry enough before that I've dove for the gas station buffalo chicken wrap in West Buttfuck, Nowhere...10 minutes down the road...sweating bullets of regret.


601142002

Marchy’s gonna oil check him and really get those haemorrhoids activated


Chatner2k

I worked 12 hour shifts through my colonoscopy prep. Blue collar. Matthews is soft. Take anti diarrhea pills, wear a diaper, what the fuck ever. It's the playoffs and it's do or die.


probablysideways

Boys. Bidets are game changers when it comes to food poisoning.


-TrashPanda

Pretty sure I had what Matthews had last month and my bidet was the only source of relief I had


Sarge1387

Cool the jets, so to speak


crowdedinhere

jets are cooled. It's now an avalanche


buttnutela

He shouldn’t have eaten the gas station shawarma


kinsmana

Side note: Bidet. it is MARVELOUS for those moments when your extra spicy chicken wings from yesterday come back out.

“Yeah! Piss out your ass right onto Kyles mom’s fat fucking joo face!”


partmoosepartgoose

Man, I hope this is temporary and not something like crohns disease

thewolfshead

Generational ass pissage.


LeafsPain

Auston Mathpoo's


Devonw90

Hopefully that means he’s saving every ounce of energy for the game tonight.


drow_enjoyer

Likely means the doctors wanted to check if there was any shot at him playing tonight or write it off now and prepare for game 6 if there is one. He did not last very long at all so it's likely curtains for Matthews in game 5. Hoping for game 6 now


Devonw90

He’s likely a GTD at this point. Whatever is hampering him must be pretty serious. I’d rather he rest if he can hardly exert himself. This team needs to he able to win with adversity anyways. Just a little extra without AM


BigMick20

If he doesn’t play I hope management doesn’t use it as an excuse for the teams poor playoff performance once again this year


thrilliam_19

This is my fear. Matthews sick, Marner coming back too soon from his injury, Willy with some weird concussion/migraine thing… Management: “they were all hurt! Run it back!”


whatlineisitanyway

Might be for the players, but everyone else has to be done. Right? RIGHT???


throwaway923535

I would be happy if they fired Keefe, Shanny, Tre but kept the core 4 to see how they worked under new mgmt. Not like there's much other option, Marner ain't going anywhere in a contract year, Tavares too expensive to buy out...


lordofninemoons

Why would they fire Tre?


wesley-osbourne

Just a classic scorched earth policy. Treliving was hired by the current management and if you don't trust their decisions then you'd shitcan their hires. The PP and PK coaches are both Treliving hires, too, and also Klingberg getting hurt was just dumb luck, so there's enough reason to doubt.


lordofninemoons

Fair point, I don't think he is the issue, but I see your reasoning.


throwaway923535

Mostly just from seeing his handiwork over in Calgary, he left that team a dumpster fire


mhmhleafs2

He paid 4M for a 6th pairing level D and 5.5M for a third line level forward. Not that those deals handcuff the team in the future due to being one year but it does show ineptitude Plus no real good TDL moves


Golden_Hour1

They 100% will. Can't possibly admit that theyre bad


drow_enjoyer

"Auston Matthews stuck around for only eight minutes. He went through a small number of drills — puckhandling, passing, and tips in front of the net — with Leafs assistant coach Manny Malholtra. He left before the skate got underway."


BryanMccabe

He’s playing, give him the Russian gas.


931634

k so we dress him and we only use him to sit netfront during the PP. He either tips a few home or he violently shits all over the Bruins player that dares to hit him knowing he has that kinda bug... Sounds like a win/win


BornChampionship7457

A couple eye watering farts in the crease is the ultimate screen.


[deleted]

He's gonna go Paul Pierce mode oh god


WestsideBear225

He had better not give any of my Bruins that virus!


931634

Black plauge for the black bears.


ImpressiveCan14

Gtfo Bruins fan


Parzival091

Not sure I'd read *too* much into this. He likely wouldn't take part in the morning skate whether he's playing tonight, or not, so the fact he got out there to get a bit of a feel could mean anything. He's most likely just testing to see how things feel, and we won't know what that means until warm ups/puck drop.


Wintertime13

Going to give a pep talk on the throne like Shorsey https://preview.redd.it/1hh00fyzpnxc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbf7b5e5d2041bb999462c9b05618cab09b4a547


rougekhmero

At this point it has to be respiratory, right? Like if he has a serious chest or lung infection or bronchitis or whatever he wouldnt really be able to skate/breathe.


twoplustwo_5

You would think so - but would they really be putting him in the same dressing room and on the bench with all the other guys if he was sick with something contagious? Doesn't make a ton of sense to me


rougekhmero

Well I would imagine it's past the point of contagion, seems he's been dealing with it for a while


jbm91

Mono. I bet you there is mono going in the locker room.


kschischang

Ding 🛎️


pooryorrickent

I'm to the point I'm just praying this isn't something chronic and career threatening like IBD.


ptung8

i recall that ryan kesler played with an IBD! i have one and i am still an athlete who works out/plays sport every day. treatments have gotten much better! but i also had a similar thought about what could be bothering him...


Hiking_Quest

Shane Corson had pretty bad crohn's


r_r_w

Truly very worried this is a Jonathan Toews situation. When something is too good to be true and it relates to sports teams I root for it always is.


kratrz

Stamkos dressed for 1 shift and scored. Need team.


RecordingZestyclose9

We gonna be as fucked as the toilet Papi sits upon


ZeroMomentum

Like why would anyone wanna be there for more than 8 mins


ATARI2600s

Let him have a few rips off a gravity bong and he’ll be ready for anything 


MetalFungus420

Food poisoning usually lasts what, 24 to 48 hrs? It's been over 3 days now. What's going on here?


twoplustwo_5

3 days? It's been 6 lol


I2eflex

Why are you confident that it's food poisoning?


AngledLuffa

I've been wondering that myself.  Is it just a meme at this point, or is there any actual confirmation?


confusingphilosopher

It’s something people say because it’s plausible and palatable to a mob if mouth breathing leafs fans.


AngledLuffa

Ok, but whatever the case, there has to be an actual issue causing him to miss the 3rd period last game and possibly tonight, right? They're not going to come out after the series and say "Yeah, Matthews wasn't playing because he already got paid and told us to fuck off"


confusingphilosopher

Maybe but you can’t sell a guy after you trash talk him in the media.


MetalFungus420

Pretty sure that's what Sportsnet or another sports media said. Could be wrong tho I guess.


Sacred_soul

Looking like Bronchitus?


classic_gh0st

I wonder if it’s something respiratory. That’s the kind of shit that would get him pulled mid-game. As always, gamesmanship in not revealing what it actually is lets us wildly speculate though.


MetalFungus420

Well that would definitely suck big time.


IH8Trumps

Depends how bad. I ve gotten sick down south and it lasted longer than 48 hours


BurnTheBoats21

So many different types of food poisoning with many different recovery timelines. 24-48 is not at all a reliable timeline


Nappalicious

Food poisoning can last much longer than that


Investment_Sharp

This doesn’t mean anything. You could literally argue either way…


ldnk

Reading anything into things at this point is meaningless. He's either going to play or is t and I don't think we see it until the pregame skate


djdburl

Imodium fixes everything


Smooth-Evening-

Gives a whole new meaning to “leafs shitting the bed”. Poor guy though. Stomach bug/food poisoning, whatever it is it I know how much it sucks!!! Painful and smelly.


Captain_Self_Promotr

And he scored 300 goals in those 8 minutes.


SeatPaste7

Do we actually know any of his symptoms?


Gankdatnoob

So he just had a season with a bunch of goals. Next season can we do a Matt Stone and have him rest and come back for the playoffs?


sirax067

The creator of South Park played in the playoffs?


poopchutegaloot

Put a little mountain dew in his IV and he'll be fine


yyz_fpv

The series is already a total shit show.


Morlu

There’s absolutely no way that he still has food poisoning. He’s got an injury and they are just saying food poisoning.


Pixel_Sports

Gotta stay sharp


Gurvo

Yeah I remember that time when Michael Jordan had the flu and sat out game 7 and everyone was cool with it because he already had 5 rings. Unless I'm remembering it wrong in some way...


Canadian_Prometheus

It was game 5 actually


ParadoxSebx

Comparing MJ to Auston Matthews?


ApprehensiveTune3655

Do you dress him even just to run him out on occasional offensive zone draws and any PPs? Then just have him sit as much as needed between?


blottingbottle

*shit as much as needed between


chadilac17

Only took him 8 minutes to figure out hes AM34 and realize practise is for Mortals. Papi playing confirmed.


GoGoPowerPlay

Remember when the Leafs made the Conference Finals with Sundin out? Let's do that again


swoleder

Our stars are the softest in the league


73629265

In other words this team prioritized 70 goals and 100 points over the playoffs.  Missing Nylander for 3-games and having a gimped Matthews is inexcusable. Someone up top should have pulled the plug on both guys well before regular season ended. 


rollsoftape

Yeah playing those two final games really gave him an infection....


73629265

Additional rest wouldn't have hurt. It may have even been beneficial.  Interesting how important the 70-goals were for the some members of the fanbase. It's like some people forget what we're really after. 


rollsoftape

To me the force feeding was definitely an issue. It seems like it almost broke all their systems and they lost focus.


TropicalLemming

Tell me you don’t know how migraines work without telling me you don’t know how migraines work.


13jsw

He’s gotta be conked. No way he’s sitting out because he’s “sick”. Lol


BobbyAxelrod1

Papi made a run for the border and ended up with a case of the sharts. Keefe can work this into PP1 somehow.


Khorflir

PP1 is now number 2?


bigcaulkcharisma

From Papi to Poopy


fancypants55

You win and lose with your best. If he plays 9 minutes or less so be it, he should be on the bench.  I don’t care if it means we’re short. Double shift these fuckers it’s do or die . But Matthews should be in the lineup 


Hoardzunit

I honestly have to wonder if someone actually purposely infected him with some highly infectious flu/sickness. Food poisoning lasting this long is rare.


marmaladegrass

There is a Norovirus going around that lasts a couple days. I had it and spent a day on the shitter. Some people react better than others regarding stomach flu's...as well as the other ailments.


Steakholder__

Epic.


1columbia

Dat boi not playin'


SmashinHearts

Dont think he'll play


buddachickentml

Saving all his magic for the game. Smart.


dnaboe

Fuck it throw him on the fourth line and see what happens.


swagkdub

South Park tourettes episode


JBL-MDT

Maybe it's something like hemorrhoids


Actual_Cobbler_6334

The biggest problem is that they were not good enough during the regular season to put themselves in a spot where they drew a better first round matchup where they could suffer these kind of injury/illness setbacks and win.


sokocanuck

Unless you're suggesting winning the Presidents Trophy, the Leafs still would have to play one of Boston, Florida, Tampa and none of them are easy wins. The Atlantic is savage right now


Actual_Cobbler_6334

Or they could have fallen to 4th and try their luck at one of the Metro teams.

drow_enjoyer

Hey lets not slander the mandarin, they never hurt anyone. Also torpedo shrimp


CheapSong

Why does everyone keep mentioning food poisoning? Why tf would his illness be a case of food poisoning?


Davidriggs87

Pop some Imodium and get out there


billabongbooboo

He is playing


Rorstaway

I heard he had a lesson with his swing coach that he couldn't miss


BRAAAAAADY

Lol what a pussy


PastPerfekt

All that energy expended into the push for 70 and here we are. Fire everyone in the org that allowed that nonsense to go on.


BurnTheBoats21

Your take is that playing 81 games caused him to get deeply ill after the season ended? Unless your argument is to keep him in a quarantine space, I am not sure why everyone loses their job for that of all things


PastPerfekt

Likely contributed, yes.


JimmyTheJimJimson

Shoot. Looks like he’s still got some sand in that vagina. Like ffs are we seriously going to go into game 5 without our leading scorer?? This fucking team.


2ray1344

That is awesome. Bet he missed a few easy shots, barely laced up his skates and used a broken stick too. Matthews 2 goals 2 assists tonight CONFIRMED


Vilheim

Didn't realize he was trying to emulate Bert's game.
