You're right, Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby have been terrible ever since they signed their long-term deals.
Are we seriously comparing Matthews, Marner and Nylander to Ovechkin and Crosby?

It seems to me Tkachuck's contract is in line with signings outside of Toronto:
Braden Point - $6.75 million per year x 3 years - 92 points in 79 games; 41 goals
Sebastien Aho - $8.4 million per year x 5 years - 83 points in 82 games; 30 goals
Also, Charlie McAvoy signed for 3 years for $14.7mm.

Apparently, his father first denied the incident even happened and then tried to cover it up.

Kyle Dubas, like you, only knew about the incident on Tuesday on Twitter.

It all depends on the details, if this lady felt threatened at all, it could get worse. Sounds like a lot of guys ganged up on her, wait for the details. She was former military with severe PTSD apparently, was that mentioned already?

Whatever Dart thinks the opposite is true

Let's not make excuses for AM, he's not a teenager anymore. He should have known better, make restitution and put a close to this. Leafs management should have been informed, Larry Tannenbaum is livid!

...and Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo does not approve of his stach - he looks like an extra on Zorro: The Gay Blade.

AM's father is an idiot. As the face of this franchise, surrounded by PR people, lawyers etc. someone should have told him to get out in front of this story. And for God's sake, Leafs management should've been told about this when it happened.

He could've apologized to her, wrote her a cheque and it would've all gone away. Now look at the mess it's caused.

Tavares will wear the "C" this year. This decision was made a while ago and has nothing to do with this latest story.

So far it's not bothering Matthews as he scores 2 goals to start the season.
As I suspected, Tavares is the Captain. And no, I wouldn't think the #underpants distraction would distract Matthews on the ice. He knows what to do out there.

Matthews loves Anderson (Sens goalie) he now has 12 career goals scored on him.
Anderson had a better save percentage than Andersen last night. Approx. 88.5% to 88.1%.
