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

[Ouroboros]

Should be 21 games. It's just like Dale Hunter on Pierre Turgeon.

 

[Aashir]

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

That could be the case, but that doesn’t justify slapshotting into the empty net

Put it in and go celebrate like a normal person, f*** celebrate it like you won the Stanley cup, you’ll have leafs fans salty and clowning you, but it’s what a normal person does

If you be an ass then you put yourself in these situations

 

[ToastrStutzle]

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

I agree with you. I'd have wanted a sens player to act if the roles were reversed

But going for the head with your stick after the play is a slam dunk suspension

 

[Edgelord]

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.

I'm willing to bet it could be any 2 teams and that will get the same reaction

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Imagine thinking a dude slapping a puck into an empty net deserves to be cross checked in the head 5 seconds after the goal and also thinking the guy who scored was the bad guy. Honestly. Hockey culture is toxic.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Easy suspension. Shameful play. Cannot be justified.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That's a suspension lol guy went from Byng finalist to a goon in 2 seconds!

 

[DaveG]

Shades of Dale Hunter, what a f***ing twatwaffle.

 

[Madap]

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

You'll be with us soon

Yes, let’s ignore real points that the league counts as well as the last how many times Ottawa has been near the bottom of the standings.

You got me man. This is the quality of banter I’d expect from an Ottawa fan. Enjoy your team.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

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.

Why would they feel entitled to something they rarely get?

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

what about the time matthews did this...

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Yes, let’s ignore real points that the league counts as well as the last how many times Ottawa has been near the bottom of the standings.

You got me man. This is the quality of banter I’d expect from an Ottawa fan. Enjoy your team.

Oh I'm definitely enjoying it tonight!

 

[Mobiandi]

Has Morgan Reilly, perchance, considered not being horrible at defending?

 

[Aphid]

It'll be, deservedly so, a five game suspension.

He was trying to injure him with going for his head and, yes, it was brutal. Not sure what's going on in people's head trying to downplay cross checking a player in the head as anything but that. It's a brutal and ugly play.

If what Rielly did was showing "emotion" then so is what Greig did beating a rival team.

 

[nucks88]

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

Come on...what are the chances of the Oilers ever leading the Canucks at the end of a game?...lol....

 

[North]

That could be the case, but that doesn’t justify slapshotting into the empty net

Put it in and go celebrate like a normal person, f*** celebrate it like you won the Stanley cup, you’ll have leafs fans salty and clowning you, but it’s what a normal person does

If you be an ass then you put yourself in these situations

Nah, he was definitely wrong, but Reilly decided to make himself even more wrong.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Yes, let’s ignore real points that the league counts as well as the last how many times Ottawa has been near the bottom of the standings.

You got me man. This is the quality of banter I’d expect from an Ottawa fan. Enjoy your team.

No you.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Rest of the season imo.

 

[Habby4Life]

Should be 21 games. It's just like Dale Hunter on Pierre Turgeon.

Thanks for the laugh.

21 games, lol.

 

[Aashir]

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

Then why doesn’t anyone else ever do it?

 

[goonybird]

The precedent is 21 games

 

[Edgelord]

I agree with you. I'd have wanted a sens player to act if the roles were reversed

But going for the head with your stick after the play is a slam dunk suspension

yup a good ankle hack and get into his face would have been more proportional

 

[SI90]

Hate hits to the head hit this is an old school response from Reilly. I’m not mad at it.

 

[Aashir]

Nah, he was definitely wrong, but Reilly decided to make himself even more wrong.

Rielly probably should’ve dropped the gloves or whacked him hard in the shins I guess

 

[Ezekial]

Then why doesn’t anyone else ever do it?

More likely to blow it wide or high
