I mean...we're on page 165 of this thread. The Leafs do dominate the minds of a lot of people on this site. So many people whine about all the attention the Leafs get and then can't stop talking about the Leafs. It's bizarre to a lot of us.

The vast majority of the posts seem to be Sens and Leafs fans discussing something that happened to their own teams, two Canadian teams means there will be lots of home team fans and that's even considering Ottawa is among the less popular Canadian teams, they still are in the top half of most frequented boards on the site, while Toronto is the most.

I think the fact that there is a bit of a rivalry between the teams contributes to the overall engagement as well, and on top of that, the media has really highlighted the event which will draw in some extra clicks.

It's also a bit of a two for one, people can have an opinion on what Greig did, and they can have an opinion on Reily's response (and how many games he'll get for it). Most suspension threads have a just the latter.

Ahahahaahaha. You have no idea what a little asshole Ridley Greig is. He'll do it again in a second - unless of course he's one of 3 people in the world who would be intimidated by Morgan Reilly.

he will literally never do that again, I will bet money on it. He may do other asshole things, because he is an asshole - but not that. and not against us

I'm actually bummed cuz I want to see what the Sens will do on their next empty net chance, then it dawns on me the odds of them having said chance

Blue Jackets, Ducks, and Hawks up next. Might be a chance in there.

But even still there's really no reason to do it unless things get chippy.

Overusing the point blank slapper just devalues how funny it is.
 
Gotta say that Bieksa looked like a total ass laughing at the thought of Reilly getting 5 games or more. Don't disagree with him often but that was bad.

The Leafs have the most suspensions in the league since Parros took over. Considering they are widely regarded as the softest team in the entire league, this is something to note.

Not talking about this Rielly play, it's obviously a suspension, probably 4 games, but no idea how someone can even argue against the Parros shit, when literally the exact same plays are made against our guys numerous times without being suspended.

Soft does not mean not dirty.

Havlat was always called soft and didn't get get suspended twice for kicking?

I don't think them being labeled soft but having a bunch of suspensions is as jaw dropping as you think it is.

Like, havlat has more supplementary discipline than Chris Neil. Who's tougher?

See what I mean.

Why? Because the situation won't arise? Then, yes. If he has the chance, he will. Toronto is soft as baby shit - Ottawa is soft as baby shit. Who on Toronto will stop him from doing it? Reaves? Sure, if you want to put Reaves out when the net is empty, Greig has done his job 10 fold.

You're right. He'll probably get creative, maybe even go for the empty net Michigan. Artists like Greig can't just keep doing the same thing over and over.

Another aspect is its looking like it rubbed a ton of players the wrong way. So I expect him to be targeted over the next lil bit, unless he answeres the bell quickly.
Then knowing hockey culture all will be balanced

He's an agitator. He's constantly getting targeted.

Plus he already got a blindside cross check to the head. Wouldn't that be "answering the bell" already?

Or does he have to fight a guy on another team for some reason?

That would probably deserve a litteral spanking on the red line by his own head coach.

I've heard of some ludicrous things, but a completely different team wanting to fight a player for that kind of thing takes the cake.

I'm all eyes though. Fight! Fight! Fight!

I am thinking he may have to fight a few times.
I find it classless but not as egregious as what other players are alluding too.
With that in mind, odds are he is going to have a rough time the next few games.

Lets be reality for a min, to have a shot at an empty net, the sens have to be winning
So I see a situation where every team is going to do it to them TBH

No they won't, because it happened to Toronto.

However, when there is a game where the Leafs find themselves up by one against Ottawa with an opportunity at an empty net you can sure as hell bet whoever it is coming down the ice is taking a slapshot.

And there will rightfully be retaliation, just keep the sticks out of it.

Who said he did?

Are suspendible plays not usually also penalties? Let me know.

You contextualized your point by referring to the period in time in which Parros was head of the DOPS.

Which is context that has absolutely nothing to do with on-ice penalties, outside of some on-ice penalties warranting suspensions, which has always been the case, and will always be the case, whether Parros is the head of DOPS or not.

Your words. Your point.

At some point in life, some people learn to do their research first, then form an opinion from that.

Now, the right thing to do would be to take a beat and dig into some stats. See if they validate your argument that:

a) the leafs are the most penalized team under Parros (false)

and

b) they have had the least powerplay opportunities over the same time period.

However, I would encourage you, for the sake of your own argument, to largely disassociate the two statistics as there is only correlation for very specific data points.

If you really wanted to make the argument from a factual standpoint, you could, for example, isolate all penalties across the league that are suspension worthy, and make some subjective decisions about whether or not a suspension was ultimately warranted. This would at least get you into the lane of the point you're trying to make: That the leafs are the most suspended and have been given the least powerplay opportunities since September of 2017, with the foreknowledge that point a) has already been proven to be categorically false.

Ridley Greig? He makes SURE he has a tough time every game because he plays right on the edge. He'll absolutely relish it if teams are mad and want a go at him. Some people are built that way, some aren't. He 100% is.

Nah. I’m good. I’ll associate them together because penaltys and suspensions go together 90% of the time. You do you.

Are you kidding? He sure as hell would do it again, but I can't see him doing it against any other team.
