"The Toronto Sun made headlines for all the wrong reasons when they released a very controversial and disturbing front page regarding the John Tavares incident.Absolutely nobody came to their defense and they received nothing but heat for it. On Saturday they received even more heat and this time it came from the Toronto Maple Leafs and general manager Kyle Dubas. "I know that the players and our coaching staff are focused on Game 2 on here tonight, but I want to address one other issue on behalf of the organization and most importantly our players and their families," Dubas told reporters (via NHL insider Chris Johnston). "I think that situations like that garner a significant amount of coverage, but as an organization we felt yesterday that the Toronto Sun cover of their newspaper crossed the line and we found the cover to be disgusting. "I understand and we understand here that the writers and columnists have no input into the covers of papers or headlines, but we just thought that it was extraordinarily insensitive on the part of the Sun with regards to the photo and the caption that accompanied the situation yesterday. Just a complete lack of compassion and respect on behalf of the Sun towards John and his family, especially for such an upstanding member of our organization community and his family that had to endure that."What do you think of Dubas' comments?
