Keefe specifically said he was pulled because of this "illness".
Whoa that's new! Back in my day we played through the clap.

we played through stuff
Closest to captain material? maybe Rielly?Who on the Leafs is?

Unacceptable not that he didn’t come out but his whole series barring ONE game. He is being outplayed by Coyle.
I think you know what it very likely could be. But can't speculate about that particular cause here or anywhere public.what's weird is that there has been "illnesses" on the Leafs for LIKE A MONTH STRAIGHT.
It's not just lately.
"A bug going around" ...
He is really the only one in the new gen of top players that is bad in playoffs.Matthews is so Jekyll and Hyde, it’s unbelievable, and especially in the playoffs. Notwithstanding this bizarre health issue in Games 3 and 4, sometimes you get it all and sometimes you get nothing at all and he’s just incapable of getting into a game.
I think about the dash to 70 goals vs Florida and Tampa and the quality of his play in Game 1. It wasn’t the same thing. Then he pops off in Game 2. Coming home, keep it going. Nope. And now he’s been pulled by medical staff from a 3-0 game that he was on the ice for to close the 2nd period, after visibly bickering with teammates on the bench. Now we’re down 3-1 in a series that’s most likely over. Optically it’s just adding up to a lot of bad stuff.
I was thinking the same thing. It feels like it's been longer than a month and Matthews has been hit like 3 times already...what's weird is that there has been "illnesses" on the Leafs for LIKE A MONTH STRAIGHT.

Most of these guys have probably already had COVID 2 or 3 times. I very much doubt that is the issue here.I think you know what it very likely could be. But can't speculate about that particular cause here or anywhere public.
Maybe it’s not an illness and instead say a knee, back etc injury. Gamesmanship so that the Bruins don’t go after his real injury?
Did he have it during the regular season?
Always been a Matthews fan but 1 goal in your last 9 playoff games isnt good enough for the leagues best goal scorer.
I think people are criticizing AM too, at least I am part of them.Whenever he isn't producing people will claim he is hurt. For some reason Matthew$ and Nylander are above criticism while Marner is the current scapegoat.
Matthews had an actual playoff game in game 2 so I think the illness thing sounds more plausible but damn.. what a coincidence that just when we need our top players the most they are all hurt/sick.
