My two cents on Auston Matthews

Had a hard crash into the boards in game 80

Was rattled but played through it.
As he did, symptoms came up and got worse.

They shut him down.
Not messing around with a franchise player

Not confirming this but it makes sense#leafsforever

This has gotta be where Auston Matthews got hurt , collided with fkn Nylander and hits the back of his head on the boards. Looking back could easily be a concussion. Meaningless fkn game and now we don’t have him for the playoffs… pic.twitter.com/3LKLwaB7Pd

I'm not saying it's not impossible, but I think this hypothesis makes far more sense.
