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

[Synesthesia]

What's the difference between that "disrespectful" shot and pimping a walkoff no-doubter HR in a tight baseball game?

 

[Puck Tiss]

Should be an in person hearing. Non hockey play and after the whistle

 

[Coffee]

celebrate a big win at home.

I didn’t think of it like that, and he’s only 21 too. But still if Nurse did that, Hronek would go the same thing

 

[ToastrStutzle]

Leafs fans yall know that he could have gone over and grabbed him or wacked him in the shinpads and still achieved the goal of not going down swinging right?

Didn't need to hit him in the heads with a crosscheck to do that.

 

[Edgelord]

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

its disrespectful and in the NHL disrespect is a big no no

 

[NyQuil]

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

Yes, he should be ashamed for winning the game.

 

[Weezeric]

Should get more than Perron got, but he won’t because he plays for the leafs.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

15-20 games.

 

[North]

So he slap shots it in from 2 feet out?

Being pumped is celebrating, not being a dick like that

Sportsnet during the panel they indicated Greig may have done it because McCabe knocked him down shortly before he scored.

Morgan better be suspended here. Imagine allowing violent cross checks to the head every time players’ feelings got hurt after losing. The NHL can’t set that precedent.

 

[Edgelord]

I don't agree with how he acted, I agree with that he acted

I would say it's in bad taste to do but something you (Leafs players) save in the back of your mind for the next time, you shouldn't ever give credence to it right there on the ice.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

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

Oh wait

See, if I was Morgan Reilly I would cross check you in the face for that and get suspended multiple games but I can keep my cool and I also cannot find the cross check to face reaction emoji.

 

[Cynick]

F around and find out. Greig found out.

I feel like this is going to be the five-word statement that DoPS puts out on Reilly's suspension.

 

[goonybird]

What Greig did was hilarious. grow up you whiny piss babies

 

[93gilmour93]

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

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Seriously, what's wrong with a slapper into an empty net? You see it all the time when teams slap it into an empty net from their own zone!

Is there a rule that you can't slap it on a breakaway?

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

its disrespectful and in the NHL disrespect is a big no no

I watched the game.

Sens are playing a tight game.

Bunch of leaf fans in the crowd... (too many)

Greig is showing some emotion.

No harm done.

The colour of the uniform.

I really think many here didn’t watch the game. This was the most throwaway February game I’ve ever seen. There was no animosity whatsoever. Greig’s slapper literally was the only remotely pulse raising thing to happen for 60 minutes. It was very odd.

 

[Ace]

f*** around… find out.

That cross check was worth it.

Find out what? How to properly score an empty net goal? Hilarious. I’m sure the cheap shot will earn the Leafs the respect that a rookie already didn’t have for them.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

It's a hilariously bad pest move, like EASHL drop in tier, but it's even more funny that Reilly got baited so badly by it.

 

[TheNumber4]

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

It’s not. Leafs are just big cry babies and they felt entitle to a win against the lowly Sens. When that didn’t happen they went psycho.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Where was that passion in the first 59 minutes?

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

not sure losing a regular season game after leading 1-0 really qualifies as choking

 

[Senscore]

You just don't get it do you.

He should have slid it into the net and immediately apologized.
