Matthews out for season with MCL tear

Bill_Berg said:
So the MCL is far better than the ACL meaning he'll be fully recovered by season start next year?

Might be surgery involved in repairing a grade 3 tear (full tear). The two week wait is to see if the ACL is borked too, I’m guessing. If he’s got other issues previously holding him back, might as well get that stuff sorted too. Makes for a brutal recovery period but it’s overlapped instead of stacked sequentially. It will affect his offseason preparation to some degree.
 
You know, any other season in Matthews' career, this injury would essentially end the team's playoff hopes. And the penalty for that is 5 games.

If I were the Leafs GM — maybe if Dubas still was — I'd be going ballistic.
