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

[Rob Brown]

No one is really arguing that the leafs shouldn't have responded to it.

There are actually plenty of people in here saying it wasn't an issue and that Rielly shouldn't have done anything at all.

 

[26Mats]

There are plenty of ex-players, including former Senators players, saying they understood why Rielly reacted. And for the record, plenty of Leafs fans think he should be suspended and that he went too far, while also thinking he should have done something.

Yes, he was right to do something. But we have to get headshots/concussions out of the game.

 

[Bileur]

Add three more games to Morgan's suspension just for this comment

An appropriate penalty for this comment would be forcing the leafs to play Reaves 15 minutes a night for the next 10 games.

tons of people have done that lol

In baseball, the pitcher usually just hits the “offending” player with a baseball high an up and then the benches clear when the player tries to charges the mound.

The two sports are very different.

Similar to when people respond to a jab and there's a line brawl on the ice?

Yes, I agree, and I am sure if you asked Rielly he would admit he made a mistake.

 

[the valiant effort]

According to Pat Burns, the Boston coach, Brashear may have angered some Bruins by flexing his muscles in front of the Boston bench.

Zero

2 habs no suspension i beliieve

I'm shocked.

 

[HSF]

tons of people have done that lol

the level of response is what is being questioned as it should be and should be the focal point of this

People bringing back hits from a few years ago aren't looking at the latest precedent of Perron which is much much more relevant

holy hell 4000 post

I don’t see what that would contribute to the debate.

It's called Diverting the Subject.

If you can't defend a point you've or someone else has made in an argument, make a different argument so you can try and make a strong, but irrelevant, point.

That's what it contributes to the debate.

The delightful thing about using this tactic and NOT having done any previous research, is someone could slap an uno reverse card down on the table and throw it back in your face.

The annoying thing about this particular subject diversion is that, not to make the pun, it's a very subjective question! Who am I, to say if a play should have resulted in a suspension? I'm not an expert in the NHL rule book. I don't work for DOPS. I'm not a ref. I have literally no background in any of these fields whatsoever.

If I were to engage in this subject diversion, I would only open myself up to critique. "Well, that's not actually a suspend-able play" or, "what about this one that you missed, hmm? nice bias you got there!".

When someone tries to pull this tactic on you, it's best to refer back to the original, core argument, and make light of their attempt.

If the situation was reversed, and Max Domi did the same thing, the Sens would have been pissed, and Brady would have chased him down, given him a face wash, and tried to fight him. If he declined, Brady would have shoved him against the boards, or maybe wacked him in the ankle with his stick, and there would have been a scrum.

Leaf fans and Sens fans would have typed angry messages at each other for a couple hours online.

End of story. Instead Rielly chose to David Perron Greig, and thus these 4000000 messages of debate online.

I'd admire your effort to apply logic to this thread. It's all for naught unfortunately.

The Perron incident is nothing like this incident, don't get why people keep comparing the two.

Perron sees his captain lifeless on the ice and retaliates immediately because he knows Parros is an incompetent moron who doesn't protect players adequately and is complete dogshit at his job.

Reilly sees someone shoot the puck hardz into his net.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Posts and clicks are good stats to show the advertisers.

Cerave: helps with wrinkles when you're pouty after someone scores a goal; helps heal facial lacerations after getting sticks in the mouth.

[Face Of Bear]

Leafs are the most violent team in league history - suspensions dont lie.

 

[jeffff]

If the next empty net goal on the leafs isn't a slap shot, I'm going to be very disappointed.

They are being compared because both happened this season, and both are crosschecks to the head after the whistle and the play was over.

Baseball Player are much whinier than Hockey Players. Here are examples:

- If a home run is hit and the player takes his sweet time rounding the bases, the same player will get hit by baseball next at bat and benches could clear.

- In Japan if a pitcher accidentally brushes a player with a pitch and the Pitcher does not tip his cap signalling his apology the benches may clear if the offended player charges the mound.

Baseball players are a sensitive bunch!

Rielly should be thrown in jail and possibly be given the chair

Pretty funny.

Man, between Reaves comments and now Keefe's comments this morning the Leafs are quickly becoming such a crybaby team. Holy shit, fire this clown of a coach and drop the dead weight player already.
