obviously you've never been punched in the face with a bare fist because if you had you wouldn't be comparing it to a padded fist...........

Well you see, Rielly was suspended because it was retaliatory, not a hockey play, and Greig wasn't expecting it. While what Xhekaj did was retaliatory, not a hockey play, and Pare wasn't expecting it. Wait what?

Obviously you've never punched a helmet with a bare fist because you would know that you can hit one a lot harder with some padding.

That padded fist to the back of the helmeted head is pretty bad. Moreso than a bare fist, is my guess.
That’s kinda what my thought process was.
If the Leafs get in that situation again, they should record and release any hearing to the media. Or live stream it.

NHL pugilists don't worry about their hands and if hitting with gloves on was so impactful no one would drop their gloves, I mean you can't make this shit up if you tried..........
Useless addition to this conversation.
The point isn’t whether it hurts or not.
The point is that you can do severe damage in both cases.

You throw your gloves to have better control and grab on. If you’re attacking someone from behind you’ll keep your glove on and hit the back of the helmet.

Bare-knuckle boxing is safer than using gloves, so why is it widely illegal? - Washington Examiner
History was made over the weekend when the first sanctioned, professional bare-knuckle boxing matches in the United States in 130 years were held in Wyoming. The event drew 2,000 fans and was possible since the state officially legalized the sport back in March. It is possible that this leads...

Why Bare-Knuckle Fighting May Be Safer Than Boxing
Bare-knuckle boxing has been banned for decades in America, but there is a growing belief (and some data) that says it's as safe as gloved boxing.

You don't punch the back of the head under any circumstances. Even if one subscribes to the idea that fighting is barbaric, has no place in the game, rabbit punches can have severe and irreversible impacts and is a redline in and of itself.

Just another example of bias in the league. If I was a betting man, I could use that to my advantage but not to the extent the DOPS and the refs could.

The 3k fine is a freaking joke. The season opening game would be very ugly.
sure, but when attacking from behind you know you're going to be punching a helmet so you can hit much harder with the gloves on

Having him out there against us is better then having him suspended tbh. Guy is absolute dog shit. Let Reaves and him punch each other in the face in the 1st.
So Reilly gets suspended but the plug gets a $3000 fine lol this league is a joke

Agreed, but if a leaf did that to a Hab why do I get the sense the leafs would’ve been made an example of like we usually are…

Watching that knee on knee made me realize how un aware some players are of where people are on the ice or just trying to do too much. Trying to carry it between 2 guys who are holding the line on the PK and having your leg all the way out like that while trying to do a move between them is just dumb. Like wtf you expect to happen when you do that? Almost like when someone turns their back along the boards when they see someone coming to hit them and get hit from behind and get hurt.

It didn't help that he was retired by Colton Orr, who was wearing a Leaf sweater at the time.

Pare standing still, flat footed. Knee extended: Bad play #1. Laine skating like a deer on ice trying to split the defense bad play #2. photo is a split second before contact. Just a stupid play all around.

Excuses are for losers
I was responding to a post asking "what if Mitch had Robertson's shot?"
My question was along the same lines as yours, facetious in a way...it's not like you can click a button and combine player's abilities like you can in create a player mode

Boy, are they ever a sour bunch on the main board. You hate to see it.
Parros is a huge joke, Montreal fans want the players to injure all our stars for the season.
Time we send them a huge message by dressing a bunch of goons for the first game.

On the plus side, PaulD is melting down early on the main board.
