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

[Master P]

I don't blame him for taking the slap shot.

Nobody wants to be another Patrik Stefan

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.

Leafs were extra salty because Greig used a slapshot on an empty netter.

 

[Aashir]

The slap shot was celebrating.

Your criteria for "being a dick" must be pretty wide.

Then why doesn’t anyone else do it?

no one ever slapshots into an empty net

You don’t really know what celebrating is huh

 

[han316]

So the guy does the equivalent of a slam dunk instead of a layup and people think that's wrong?

Oh ya that's a suspension for the cross check to the head.

 

[MXD]

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

Definitely a case of soft brain, so upper.

 

[HockeyFan100]

Love it, the Sens/Leafs rivalry needs more heat like this

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Rielly had a tantrum and intended to cause harm. Two+ game suspension, you can't let that go. One of the dumbest plays I've seen this year.

He spells his name weird, it's Reilly.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

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.

He gets a win for the 28th best team in the league. That deserves a great celebration.

 

[93gilmour93]

It's spelled Rielly everyone.....

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Our season last year ended with Gudas yelling in our rookie goalies face. We are not going to let that kind of stuff fly anymore and I'm really glad about it.

Love you Riles <3

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Dude, no one celebrates an empty net goal lol Couple high fives maybe. My goodness

Maybe not "big" celebrations, but they definitely do.

 

[leafsfan5]

He got exactly what he wanted.

That was a pest HOF level move. Reilly is gone for multiple games now. He got baited and gave Greig more than he ever could have expected.

Great move by Greig, taking out a good player on a rival who they are in a heated playoff race with

Oh wait

 

[Knave]

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

Where was that passion in the first 59 minutes?

It's a mentally soft team that chokes being mentally soft and choking

 

[TheNumber4]

f*** around… find out.

That cross check was worth it.

Lol. How did Greig “f*** around” here. All he did was slap shot a puck into the net for a goal. What did that goal hurt too many feelings? Does that deserve his head being smashed in?

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Another person who doesn't play hockey commenting.

I actually played 3 years in WHL 1995-98. Wheat Kings. Son is playing college in US now. How far you make it?

 

[OilersFanatics505]

So Toronto fans are ok with head shots… this thread will be noted for later.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

since when is slapping a puck into an empty net against the code?

 

[Edgelord]

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

worth it

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Mod warning:

Stating a player deserves to be injured is against site rules. Only warning.

Where's the line? Can I say Rielly's actions were justified because of Grieg's actions?

 

[Cleatus]

Play smart prizes, win stupid games.

 

[h2]

Greig is definitely a little shit for that slapper, I think it's kinda hilarious though lol..

I don't mind Rielly responding to it, but how about not cross checking someone in the face? Drop your gloves and fight.

 

[Communal Blood]

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

What does Reaves' hockey ability have to do with Kastelic being scared? Can't blame the dude, Reaves is still an intimidating player.

 

[Ezekial]

This is worse than Perron, Perron was to the helmet

This was to the face and it sent him into the boards.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I'd guess 3 games.
