"A seemingly harmless gesture has now turned into a potential matter of supplementary discipline. Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander gave the middle finger to a TSN broadcast camera during Sunday's game against the Colorado Avalanche. Nylander was sitting in the press box among the rest of the Leafs' injured players and scratches. Toronto was trailing 3-0 during the third period, when Nylander took notice of the camera."
"Nylander subsequently issued an apology after the game on his Instagram story. "only love for leafs nation," Nylander wrote. "sorry about my moment of frustration today! didn't mean to upset anyone. looking forward to being back on the ice and not in the stands. love willy." Nylander has been out of the lineup since aggravating a groin injury against the Vegas Golden Knights on January 15. Toronto has posted a 1-3-1 record during Nylander's latest absence, losing every game this week."
