The Lady Byng goes to a player who who has "exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct."

Reminder that Auston Matthews harassed a female security guard in September and when confronted pulled down this pants and mooned her. https://twitter.com/drosennhl/status/1283801858327412744

Blame the @ThePHWA who votes on these awards

I wrote this after the Matthews incident in September. Media especially wants to excuse this behavior as youthful indiscretion, without acknowledging the fear that women navigate daily. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/09/maple-leafs-auston-matthews-disorderly-conduct-charges-are-no-laughing

The disorderly conduct charges against Auston Matthews are no laughing matter

While women across social media are talking about how unsafe this makes them feel, men are leaning into the butt jokes.

Matthews' nomination for the Lady Byng should, at the very least, force a conversation inside @ThePHWA about the toxic culture that they are directly rewarding. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/07/auston-matthews-lady-byng-nomination-is-disappointing-but-familiar

Auston Matthews' Lady Byng nomination is disappointing but familiar example of hockey culture

Changing hockey culture is an uphill battle. Right now, the PHWA seems more focused on holding the line than helping win that fight.
