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

[AchtzehnBaby]

Whether you count it or not doesn’t mean it wasn’t an action that was supplementally disciplined by the league before.

He’s never been suspended prior but he was fined by the league for crosschecking recently.

Look at the play… this was in a heated battle.

Reilly is in a different situation. He has time to think.

Premeditated dangerous hit to the head.

6-10 games

 

[Csonked Out]

lol and where was this chance to actually have to fight? Fight with the stick cross checking his head, like a light sabre stick duel?

Don't turn your back and skate away is step one. If he had any intention of fighting after he wouldn't have skated away and that is a fact.

Right, so in addition to the sabre stick there's also the jedi force part, sensing the enemy from behind.

 

[Csonked Out]

For what, once again not manning up for a square fight when something pisses them off?

This shows nothing other than how easy it is to rattle this butter soft group.

nah it more highlights how the younger generation plays the game honestly. The game has just changed and I believe he thought he was just going to snicker to himself and get away with it.

 

[A1LeafNation]

That's never an appropriate action.

You can argue as much as you want about whether or not Rielly should have been pissed, but taking a stick to someone's head always crosses the line.

It didn't the below. Why should he expect anything based on this...

 

[JimmyApples]

Ridley Greig won. He’s a pest who trolled the Leafs hard last night, and now one of their only good defenders is facing a suspension of 6-10 games because of his antics.

You know he’s absolutely loving this right now.

 

[TheNumber4]

You've got to have an impressively weak mental disposition to lose your shit because someone scored on your empty net with a slapshot instead of a wristshot

Suspend him for 10 games

It’s speaks to the Leaf’s players entitlement. No other team in this league would think that a slightly embarrassing slap shot into an empty net warranted this kind of response

It really says something about hockey fans that this thread is at 110 pages after just 17 hours

I'm sure he loves being possibly concussed, a dream come true.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

undeniably.

Doesn't even have the courage of his convictions to engage directly.

Sounds a lot like Morgan Rielly actually.

 

[TheNumber4]

You're right, call 911

If Greig was injured. No one would have to call. The Cops would have been on the scene for ASSAULT.

It's a sensitive world we live in

 

[Canadian Finn]

why only 10 games?

I think he should be arrested and thrown in jail for the rest of this season.

at least.

Why should he have to fight?

He's there to play hockey, not get punched in the face

Premeditated dangerous hit to the head.

6-10 games

How much time did Rielly have to think? He literally skated immediately to him.

 

[AvroArrow]

If Greig was injured. No one would have to call. The Cops would have been on the scene for ASSAULT.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Please confirm.

This is what people fail to understand. Reilly fell right into his trap card.

I get people don't follow the Sens that close because we have been abstaining from playoffs, but Greig is a pest. This is a 10/10 response for him.

 

[Buck Naked]

It's a sensitive world we live in

It sure is. A slapshot and a whole fanbase and team throws a childish tantrum.

 

[Canadian Finn]

no courage.

half way between jail and purgatory.

 

[JimmyApples]

I'm sure he loves being possibly concussed, a dream come true.

Except he’s not concussed and is completely fine. Sorry to let you know

 

[Csonked Out]

nah, he should have gotten punched in the face there honestly.

 

[Bartleby]

hockey players have to be the biggest p***yes. Guy slap shots for fun and you lose your mind. How do these people manage to live their lives?

It's all an act. What started with the "gotta protect the goalie, man" excuse for the scrum around the net after every whistle has morphed into an on ice hissy fit about anything and everything seen as an affront to one's team, even if that perceived affront is 100% legal (which it usually is).

Don't think they care about the players time to think/60

Not sure if it was this season or last, but Travis Konecny attacked someone after they scored in an empty net

did Travis go to jail?

is he bunk mates with ernest?
