Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews was asked point blank about his health status following the loss in Game 7 on Sunday and provided an odd response.Tkachuk praised Matthews for his play at both ends of the ice in the series, and his leadership in the locker room after the two played as teammates at the 4 Nations Face-off back in February.

Matthews has always been weary of openly discussing any ailments he might have, and stuck to that rule after the Game 7 defeat. He was asked pointblank if he was healthy, but Matthews insisted he didn’t want to talk about it.

Whether that happens remains to be seen, but it’s doubtful it will be a quiet summer for the Maple Leafs organization.
