One damn thing after another.
I really don't get decisions like these. If he's not good enough to play tonight you absolutely just sit him Monday too so he's off through at least the whole Christmas break. That's a no brainer.
(I fully except him to miss multiple games considering the teams definition of day to day at this point)
I think it is time we leave "Hans Christian" Berube quotes on Leafs medical forecasts / timelines to the young Leafs fans.
It is getting pretty stupid now.
Facts we know:
it is a chronic injury they are trying to 'manage' - corroborated by their own comments
It is susceptible to reinjury - as evidenced by his maintenance days and recent cross check that they corroborated
It is compromising his performance - he's a fraction of his former self - we see that with our own eyes and sprinkled throughout nearly all his stats
If there was an in season medical solution, reason tells us they would have done it already.
There is no lipstick for this pig. It is ugly no matter how you look at it.

If it’s a surgery that requires a couple of months rehab I’d honestly rather he had it now and maybe got back a few weeks before the playoffs.
The fact they’re putting it off might even suggest he wouldn’t be back by then and would need the equivalent of an off season to recuperate/it could end his season completely.
Which ever way you try and skin it, seemingly it’s not good.
