Why the fuck haven’t they sat him and let him heal properly?

This far out of the playoffs he should be shut down. Idk what this team is doing at this point.

Good thing he didn’t make team USA.

they should’ve sat him like a month ago wtf are we doing? No sports and science department will do that

Love Knies but it is concerning how injury prone he tends to be. Two of the last 3 years he’s had mediocre seasons because of injury.

Seems like something a competent director of sports science wouldn’t allow… too bad the richest team in hockey cheaped out…

treliving still trying to save his job and praying they go on a crazy run

Love the guy, but it really would have been the best thing for this team if we did the Rantanen swap at the deadline last year.

No reason for Knies to be risking permanent injury in a lost season. Let him rest, get surgery, whatever! I respect his dedication but come on.

If we are selling then shut him and McCabe down for the season they are both clearly hurt.

Shut him down to help him and the tank

The Director of sports science and performance for the leafs needs to be fired RIGHT NOW!

Last year, they were giving guys extra days off and plenty of rest due to how well they were positioned in the standings.
This year, they’ve been desperate for points and don’t have that luxury, so they’ve rushed guys back and haven’t been healthy at all.

If it is tendonitis then rest will help to make it feel better.

Bench Reilly. Let Knies rest. Play Mermis and Quillan.

God I wish we had 23 more attitudes on this team like Kniessy’s.

it’s not just his knee injury. Dude should of worked on his skating instead of being a moron and adding more weight. He’s been beind plays and not as effective because of this.
