We have no idea what the relationship between all these people are.
Sure we do. She is the security guard in his building and knows him by name.

I also know him by name because he's pretty famous, and just because she was a security guard at his condo doesn't mean Matthews or his friends would have had any idea who the woman was. Maybe she was new to the job. Maybe she works shifts opposite of when Matthews is often around. Maybe Matthews is someone who doesn't really pay any attention to people in that position. It's entirely possible these two had never interacted prior to this night.
All I'm saying is for someone who says we should wait for all the facts to come out and not jump to any conclusions suggesting that these actions were innocent and playful because everyone knew each other is a pretty big assumption to make.

Zee said:So it seems like the Leafs didn't know about this beforehand based on Babcock's comments. Oof, another lapse of judgement by Matthews. Did he actually think it would go away if he hid it from the team?

Babcock himself didn't know. That doesn't mean that nobody in the org. knew.

This could play as large of a role in Matthews losing out on the C (for now at least) than the alleged actions will. Very strange for the Leafs to have not been made aware of what was going on. Unless this is some weird situation where Matthews himself wasn't even full aware of the legal actions that were taking place (maybe he just told his agent to handle it and was left out of the loop completely after, I dunno).

Nik the Trik said:Is it though? If you get a DUI how quickly are you telling your boss?
I appreciate that the Leafs would have wanted to know about it sooner but it's really not that strange at all for Matthews to want to keep this as quiet as possible.
CarltonTheBear said:You have to think that the Leafs were going to find out about it eventually though, right? I get Matthews not being proud about all this and being embarrassed by it, but keeping it quiet just makes thing worse. And I'm not putting all the blame on him here exactly. His agent/lawyer should have been the ones to inform the Leafs about it if it wasn't him.
Nik the Trik said:Well, that's the other thing I don't get. So it happens in May and we don't hear about it until literally the day before his scheduled court appearance. Why are we hearing about it now? Did someone at the courthouse recognize Matthews' name? People just randomly searching for famous names in public records?

The way this came out was definitely pretty strange. This was literally the first mention of it:

That's it. Just some random Habs fan on twitter. Posted on Monday evening, and it wasn't until Tuesday afternoon that others on twitter took notice to it.
