There is some major reporter fighting going on right now on Twitter

Matthews handled the Simmons drama well.

He definitely got coached on that one. Handled it and moved on. Clean as it gets.

As per his Twitter, looks like Jeff Veillette has found himself to be in some hot water. Not good.

Agree and what a former leaf player reportably did isn't good either , reportably a former leaf was preying on a underage girl and Veillette took the players side and told him that the under age girl was going to speak out about what happened. This happened in 2018

Matthew's thought it was unethical too eh... huh...not surprised by that. So to anyone who thought it was okay that it was reported it, do you still think that now that Matthews has come out and said he didn't think it was right? Or are you still going to be ignorant and close minded and not be open to change or a new perspective?

I agree. He said his piece and moved on. I’m not sure I see the controversy there.

Really? Between who? I'm not a twitter user and am curious to know who has who's back.

Steve Simmons defends himself for “reporting”


Then gets mad at James Mirtle for reporting the interaction between he and Matthews


Gotta love it

O Dog to Andi - are you done with your 7 minute tiresome annoying question?

Yup. His ego makes him think he is untouchable.

"Do as I say....not as I do - because only I am entitled to do that."

A lot of journalists and media types seem to have this issue.

Piece of shit acts like a piece of shit gets called out and acts like a piece of shit.

He did well. I would have just say No comment every time Simmons and anyone from the Sun asks a question.

Tim and Sid is.

With the way he wrote that tweet I thought he was 100% serious.

Sid is just so happy the Leafs lost. Hayes comments were straight up garbage.

What was your issue with Hayes today?

What was your issue with Hayes today?

Just when he said "Leafs situation isn't better then it was 10 years ago"
Like really buddy? Should we remind you the roster we had 10 years ago?

Does he forget that 10 years ago they finished 29th out of 30 teams and Brian Burke traded their 2010 and 2011 1st round picks to Boston in the Phil Kessel trade and they were with no lottery protection, which turned out to be 2nd overall in 2010 and 9th overall in 2011.
