Many parents choose fair consequences over blindly defending their kid. If he lied to his father about something like that, he didn't learn consequences well enough at a younger age.

Given that the property had the security guard's back because Matthews has been an issue before leads me to believe that at a minimum he has ECS (Entitled Celebrity Syndrome).
The fact that his father was dealing with it for him backs that up.
He needs to grow up quick or he's in for a bumpy ride.

I wouldn't defend my son if I heard that he was accused of being drunk and doing something stupid at 2am.
Nothing good happens at 2am.

I will admit I never saw the Athletic article and was going on the idea the dad heard his son was accused of something and naturally believed and defended him. That would be a natural reaction. After seeing that he knew his kid was guilty and tried to stage a coverup I hereby retract my previous statment.

I can't find an "I've lost all respect for Auston Matthews!" post. Have we lost our love for the rant?

The Sabres are pretty good at developing older players.

The thing about the Matthews situation is not the fact that he was immature/drunk towards the security guard, it’s the fact that he is so immature and irresponsible to tell his GM and team management what happened. That’s a good captain right there.

Hopefully Connor is next soon and we can find out if those signings were really what's holding up a Risto or other defenseman for forward trade.

Those signings aren't holding up a Risto to Anaheim deal.
Reportedly it is Botts' asking price for Risto.

I think someone pointed it out earlier, but Matthews is lucky he didn't get shot. AZ is a stand your ground state and that security guard probably would not have had a hard time illustrating she felt threatened by 3 grown men trying to get in the back of her car. Really bad judgement on his part and frankly the contract he signed and his stature as an athlete means he should be holding himself to a higher standard of behavior - especially if he's looking for the C.
As in how they choose to punish this? There seems to be a very low 'crime' factor to this and he will probably just get whatever the max fine is.
