Toronto Maple Leafs star forward William Nylander issued another apology Monday for putting up his middle finger during Sunday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche, saying frustration was the reason behind the incident.
After posting an apology to Instagram Sunday evening, Nylander issued another mea culpa when speaking with reporters on Monday.
“Sitting there, I got a text message… I was like oh, not a good idea. Not a good thing to do”
