Matthews out with the back injury again, runs into Clutterbuck, gets bent back, goes to the room, pretty sure he's had a back back for most of the year.

Actually would be a good time for him to take some time off, team playing lazy in the dog days, Matthews looks run down, just rest him, twenty games into the playoffs here, no need to ride him hard and put him away wet right now.

Yeah, let him rest, you want him as healthy as possible come playoff time, no need t grind him down before y'all get there.

Dog days of the season, they need a challenge, Matthews and Andersen are basically a crutch, so a good time for them to be forced to dig in a bit here, quit goofing off, get to werk.

I'll give Bozie credit where credit is due, arguably their most reliable guy on the shootout, keeps it simple stoopid.

Avs lucky to get out of that period tied 0-0, got outshot 19-7, Varlamov holding us in it. Girard looked good, rest of the team phoned in that first period.

Freddie Vezina stones Johnny T, steals another game for the Loafs, you're the real MVP, Freddie.

See, unless one of the trailing teams started to close up, I would rest Matthews for a month, don't actually need him for regular season right now.

The mysterious fox seems to think that this is the way to handle that situation.

Sit him until 22 March, bring him back for the last two weeks just to get him warmed up going in.
