""It came up earlier in the year, I honestly don't even know what date, sometime pretty early in the season. I think it was kind of blown out of proportion. I don't think it was that, that serious as everyone was saying.""
""It was obviously not comfortable to play with all year, but it didn't really hinder me being out of the lineup.""
""I'm happy now that I can let it heal up and rest it a little bit, and try to come back 100% for next season.""
Matthew Knies discussed his lower-body injury during the Toronto Maple Leafs' end-of-season media availability. He clarified that the injury, which caused him to miss three games in mid-November, was not as serious as many believed. Despite discomfort, he managed to play throughout the season, achieving 66 points, including 23 goals. Knies expressed relief at being able to rest and heal his knee now that the season is over. He is optimistic about returning fully healthy for the next season, following a productive first year of his six-year contract extension.
