  1. 100% that shoulder, even after his first goal he was wincing about it after celebrating. It probably felt worse this morning

  2. What a sad turn of events. I hope this is just to give him 2-3 days to heal as I want to see him Top 6 for at least five games to start the season. He deserves the chance.

  3. Guy just can’t catch a break. Every time it looks like he gets rolling and is ready to really contribute he is out with injury.

    Hope he can heal up and stay healthy, because it seems like he can finally be the depth scoring piece the Leafs have needed for a while now.

    Maybe if we are lucky the leafs are just gaming the system with all these announced injuries. If they can get some guys on IR maybe they figure they have a better chance of sneaking some fringe guys through waivers a little later when other teams are more set in stone.

  4. Looks like he sustained the injury in last nights game prior to him scoring 2. Wild.

  5. This has kind of been a recurring theme for him, can he physically fit into an nhl lineup. Everyone’s known he has the scoring ability, and Berube will work with him on his defensive IQ, but he get bounced around and the wear and tear can take a toll on him.

    Biggest thing i saw from his injury yesterday is his mindset – he was clearly in pain but i think given the stakes for a roster spot and the amount of competing guys in yesterday’s lineup, he said fuck it, dug deep and played through it. It worked out well but hopefully it’s not a trend this year and he can finally thrive

  6. And I got downvoted for saying he needs to be consistent.

    Part of being consistent is being available.

    You can’t rely on somebody that is a massive question mark time and time again. Hopefully he comes back and is effective.

  7. You could tell right away, hope for the best. I’d be taking care of the money he’s already made if I was him.

  8. Honestly, I’m glad we don’t start until the 9th. It lets all of these (hopefully) smaller injuries heal up without having to decide if we want to risk playing through them and making it worse.

  9. i figured he would be immediately injured once the regular season started, but couldnt even last that long

  10. They only have one preseason game left, he’s scored out last five goals, he has solidified his presence on the starting roster. This is likely him being bruised up and there is literally no reason to give him the next game

  11. Day to day doesn’t worry me too much but the decades of pain and suffering lead me to believe that Nick Robertson will never score again.
