[Johnston] The NHL is looking at this William Nylander incident, per sources. It’s possible the leafs forward will face punishment for flipping the middle finger at the broadcast camera during today’s game. Nylander has since apologized, calling it “moment of frustration.”
The audacity. The horror. Think of the children. Think of the women. Think of the men.
OK stop thinking of the men before Reimer gets mad.
This is so lame. He’s a grown man. And it was funny. NHL is so dumb sometimes
Buddy can’t even joke around lmao.
Bigger suspension than any panther to date incoming
Honestly that camera was on them for like 10 minutes it was getting ridiculous
Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, actual things to get upset about are occurring…
Kadri suspension incoming.
Give the guy a break. And I hate the Leafs.
Not at the next Gen game oh the humanity
Absolutely no ill intention here, just a hockey player being a hockey player. If anyone was offended, THEY should be fined for being a prude-ass Karen. I get that the league wants to maintain a level of decorum, but holy fuck, embrace the game and the opportunity to capitalize on personality and engagement
Give ‘em the Sens-treatment and strip a first round pick! 🧐
Ottawa to lose 2027 1st round pick.
Probably just a fine
No Humour League
Hard to blame him, tbh.
How could Kadri do this?
Genuine question, if was on the bench and did, would be fined, unsportsmanlike or everyone moves on with the game?
Oh no, poor Kadri will face harsh consequences for his actions
He looks so frustrated
Could be looking into the refs, nope.
Could be looking into hits to heads, nope.
Could be looking into goalie interference, nope.
Could be looking into many other things, nope.
Willy flips the bird, the NHL police is on the case!
I can find many things far worst than this turning on the tv at all hours. Much ado about nothing.
He shouldn’t have done it but most people who caught it live had a good laugh. Seriously nhl has the least personalities amongst the 4 pro sports in n America. Now we have one so let’s throw the book at him. It’s also the whitest league, draw your own conclusions.
The highlight of the game was this and Tanev eating a drumstick ice cream. That’s how bad it was for leafs fans.
Just by doing that,Ottawa lost its 1st pick in 2029
Who fucking cares
It’s definitely classless and needs to be nipped in the bud. I was watching with my little daughter and we were discussing whether to put $100 on the -750 odds for the Leafs mounting a comeback or the -250 on Matthews getting a goal and had to stop and explain to her what the finger meant.
If the idiot running America (into the ground) can do it, why not a hockey player 🤷🏽♂️
People are way too sensitive. These are athletes not pastors or priests. Let’s get real with expectations. A physical fight gets you a 2-4 minute penalty.. Why should waving a finger be worse?
As minor as it is, you can’t do that at work.
League is so soft if he gets discipline. Who cares. It’s weird to be offended by this. He didn’t hurt anyone, didn’t attack anyone. Harmless.
bruh
He should have apologized for not using both hands
I get it, it’s a middle finger, not a big deal, some might even call it funny. But he is a professional athlete there should be some level of professionalism there.
He has such tiny little baby hands
This is what those clowns decide to crack down on? Lmao.
omg who cares
Are we fucking serious right now? I thought this was a circlejerk post.
NHL has got to be the dumbest, most pathetic league to run a sport, ever. Holy shit
Great vibes in Toronto as usual
Can’t wait till tsn’s director of scouting Craig Button insiders’ take on nylander’s obscene gesture.
This is what sports media has become, garbage airtime filler.
He was just trying to say “give our boys some credit, the Avs are #1.”
Why is Canadian Patrick Mahomes behind him?
🖕🏼
We are all William Nylander.
Glad they’re making this heinous act a top priority
The NHL was the only major league that went ahead with a game the day an American was murdered by a fed for no reason in that shitty, but are pearl clutching over a middle finger? Give me a break

That doesn’t look like frustration

The NHL are the fun police 🙄😒
