Sheldon Keefe reveals Auston Matthews could be done for season

After the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the Boston Bruins 3-1 in Game 4, there was a lot of buzz during the post-game interviews. Sheldon Keefe cleared up why Auston Matthews was absent in the third period, saying it was due to what's believed to be an illness. TNT added it was food poisoning, making him questionable for Toronto's win or go home Game 5 in Boston on Tuesday.

Now, we don't know the details of his illness or how long he's been dealing with it. But based on what Keefe said, it seems like Matthews might have been battling this for a while, and it's been getting more challenging for him to push through.




Keefe was mum about Matthews' situation, but it's not anyone's business. We should just be wishing him a speedy recovery.

As fans, maybe we should give Matthews a break and let him rest. The 26 year-old's health should be the primary concern. That's what matters in the long run.
