Steven Stamkos responds to the Toronto/Twitter drama he created.

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos caused some major controversy on Wednesday and now he's responding to it. For those of you who somehow missed the original report you can find it here.

Stamkos caused a media firestorm after he liked an article that asked if the Maple Leafs should attempt to lure him to Toronto, but now Stamkos is claiming it was just an accident.

"People are going to talk about stuff, I’m not too worried about that," Stamkos said as per the Tampa Bay Times. "I guess when you are in the spotlight, and lots of people have done things accidentally. It probably doesn’t look great. But I’m telling you guys that it was an accident and hopefully this is the last time I have to answer questions about Twitter."

As mentioned in our original report Stamkos' like was the only one on his account, and it came right off the heels of reports of problems between Stamkos and head coach Jon Cooper.

It's an awfully big coincidence.
