Matthews wasn't himself the last game or so. Hope it isn't too bad.

It's sad that I was relieved to hear this wasn't another Covid situation.

I wonder if the Leafs are figuring their game against Vancouver on Saturday (and maybe even the Monday one) will be cancelled and this is a good opportunity to give him a bunch of days off.

How many more times are we scheduled to play the Canucks this season?

Didn?t Matthews catch covid already? So using Trumpsciencetm he?s immune now.

Four.
We have four games left against the Canucks, Montreal, and Winnipeg. We have one game left against Ottawa to finish the season (for now)
Winnipeg has two games left against the Canucks and Edmonton has 5 games left against them.
Toronto and Edmonton have the most freebie points available to them from the Canucks at the end of the year so they honestly might get hurt a bit in the standings if Vancouver doesn't play all of their games. I'm sure that they will find a way to get the ones against meaningful teams in but it also might make the schedule messy down the stretch.

As far as in-game momentum swings and so forth, I'd go so far as to say that home-ice advantage is effectively zero. As long as we're in the top 4 in the division I don't think it makes a lick of difference where.
Leafs probably won't be playing at home in the final 4 with the quarantine. Leafs also own the best road record in the league. I think sometimes not having last change is better. Make the opposition adjust to who you want to play.L K said:Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:Nik said:Considering that a playoff spot is effectively sewn up and home-ice advantage stands to be pretty minimal this year I'm ok with the team being a little extra cautious where Matthews is concerned.

It does give you last change to set up defensive matchups and might carry a little bit of weight if you get to the final four where there are probably going to be decent sized crowds
