Face the friggin' consequences for your actions. It's a minor offence, so he will get community service and sensitivity counseling. But no. The coward hides.

It should have been obvious from that creepy little 1/2 stache he's sporting. I read that Matthews did something else before, but can't find it. Maybe there is a pattern forming here. The Leafs (league) needs to make Matthews go through a course before he gets to play. If they sweep this under the rug, and he does something again (which is likely) and the results are worse, would the team or league be culpable at all?

MLSE lawyers are going to make a killing on this making it go away. Matthews won't do a single thing to address this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the video and potential witness evidence is strong enough it could happen. But there would have to be actual video and probably multiple eye witnesses (maybe from people watching from the building) or one of AMs buddies rats him out. But even then we're taking about a fine and maybe some community service. Would send a message tho not to harass women on the job. Frat boy/locker room talk etc. doesn't play well anymore. Its lucky that she wasn't armed, stressing out a vet with PTSD in the US has to be done of the stupidest things a person can do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People acting like he tried to jump her. How'd this security guard not hear a bunch of intoxicated people coming towards her car? And the fact she recognized Matthews and got out of the car to confront them only makes me wonder what she is trying to get out of this story... Because if someone famous did this to me it would be a moment I'd tell my friends and remember forever ( I wouldn't be upset, I'd think he's a clown but nothing more ). Not something I'd go to the news about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Matthews, he doesn't deserve the C. What a MORON. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat land fish Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Perfect example of nothing good happens after midnight. Good chance the group was well sauced and poor life choices tend to follow that pattern. No excuses for a poor choice on austons part but I’m sure a healthy percentage of the population would gladly have take back some stupid stuff they did when they were under 25 in the party scene myself included.

Not something I'd go to the news about. Yeah, totally. It's her fault for sticking her butt out at drunk people. /sarc Do you even hear yourself? Aside from the stupid thing he did, he is a rising star, and a member of a prominent hockey team; a team that was in the midst of handing him the C. Then he does this. To excuse him for being a kid is absolutely stupid. He had 58 million reasons not to be an idiot. Or whatever his frontloaded contract was giving him. The deal is worth $58.17 million, meaning Matthews will have an annual salary cap hit of $11.634 million beginning in 2019-20 and running through the 2023-24 campaign. Some people learn hard lessons at the beginning. Kane went through a similar thing. He's now cleaned his act BIG TIME. Matthews will learn, but he will get punished. And deservedly so. For a guy with high high high hockey IQ, he is just another idiot. Edited September 25, 2019 by Dazzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you blaming her for this? Edited September 25, 2019 by Jimmy McGill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
