Morgan Rielly cross check to the head of Ridley Greig (DOPS UPDATE: In Person Hearing - 6 games or more possible)

[GreatSaveEssensa]

@Tasteless Beaver try shooting a slap shot empty net goal in a beer league game/any game and let me know how the other team feels about it. If you can skate that is

It’s really not that big a deal. At all.

 

[LivingRentFree]

Maybe he should have cross-checked his own goalie in the head.

I’d have been happy with that!

 

[Viqsi]

Classless bullshit by Grieg (and that was absolutely classless bullshit) does not justify maliciously violent bullshit by Reilly. Find a better way to respond.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Shouldn’t get more than Cale Makar got for his cheapshot after the whistle that actually injured someone

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

Thank you for changing the title lol

 

[NyQuil]

F around and find out. Greig found out.

Grieg gets the win, a goal and he drives an opposition player so crazy that he’ll probably get a suspension.

That’s like the Ridley Grieg hat-trick.

Was that cross check to the head for the empty netter and if so why? I never played hockey so I'm not really getting this.

It's disrespectful. That's it

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Kind out of character for Morgan Reilly.
Must be some frustration setting in for the team.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

There isn’t a single player on the Leafs who would do what Greig did (maybe Reaves but he would never be on the ice in that situation). Take that however you want.

So says the Leafs fan…..

 

[MXD]

Are you saying this is worse? I could get onboard with that. With Scheifele you could atleast say he was trying to make a hockey play trying to hit a guy before he scored. Here buddy makes a beeline to Greig after he scores and the play is dead and just straight up cross checks him in the face lol

Shades of Dale Hunter of P. Turgeon. Ok maybe not quite the same lol

That's a better parallel than with Scheifele.

Refs were all over Reaves once the puck was dropped. Tough guy Kastelic didn't look too keen on engaging Reaves all night.

why would he? Reaves literally can't play the game anymore. Even the leafs don't want to play him

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This is peak hockey culture. The dirty play is just good old fashioned hard nosed hockey, the guy taking a slap shot on the empty net is a hot dog that needs to be put in his place.

Hurt feefees.

Another person who doesn't play hockey commenting.

Being the only guy who cares has to be a drag after all these years..

 

[RRhoads]

Reilly on IR with hurt feelings. Is that upper or lower body?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

What Greig did was 100% a dick move and he likely knew that it would draw a reaction. That said Reilly needs to be smarter there and just do a baseball swing slash like Pietrangelo did in the playoffs instead and took his 1 game suspension for the pound of flesh.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Grieg f-ed around and found out.
Two points away from another lottery win and a statement hit by MO.

Nah this is his game. Dude is a pest and an instigator while barely ever opening his mouth (or yapping) on the ice. Next level troll. He knew exactly what he was doing here.

Ridley Greig. Remember the name.

I think he felt like the slap shot was rubbing it in.

You know who will also get put in this place?
Rielly.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Why didn't Greig try a Michigan?

Feel like most leaf fans are just happy someone on that team showed any emotions.

some people liked hockey more before the passion and feistyness was meticulously drained from the game

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Lol Ottawa. You can tell playing Toronto is their Stanley cup after scoring an empty net goal like that.

Enjoy the bottom of the standings and being the joke of the league as usual.

Loser points aside Toronto has one more regulation win than Ottawa with 2 more GP LMFAOOO

You'll be with us soon

 

[Green Blank Stare]

Should be done for the season to send a message and get this garbage out of the league. Of course, most of you bozos love this thuggish behavior so he'll probably get a game or two while everyone blames Greig because he had the nerve to hit a slapshot with eight seconds left into an empty net to celebrate a big win at home.
