""Yeah, first off, I just wanna apologize for my actions," Nylander said. "It's a lot of frustration, so I'm sorry about that.""
""Just not, you know, playing," Nylander continued. "You know, I want to be out there with the guys, and, yeah, just frustrated.""
""He made a mistake, he owned up to it," Berube told reporters on Monday. "Things happen, people make mistakes, players make mistakes, coaches make mistakes, it happens. He knows it's wrong and he owned up to it.""
William Nylander received the maximum allowable fine of $5,000 under the Collective Bargaining Agreement for flipping his middle finger at a TSN camera during the Maple Leafs' game against the Colorado Avalanche. Nylander apologized on his Instagram story and publicly to reporters, saying the gesture came from frustration over spending significant time on injured reserve this season. Head coach Craig Berube characterized the action as a mistake that Nylander owned up to and urged no further dwelling on the incident. Nylander remains sidelined with a groin injury that has kept him out since January 15.
