You've been brain-washed by watching Don Cherry too much on Leafs TV.

Hahah ok. I hope you’re able to speak to current and former nhlers and see if they’re “brainwashed”

Nobody will say a cross check to the head is what you do. But they will all say what Grieg did is a no no. I wish we could be a fly on the wall in the Sens dressing room and see the looks and comments that guys like giroux gave him
 
Parros: "Oh, you didn't mean to cross check him in the face you say? OK no suspension."

Everyone is a Leafs fan. It's a matter if you cheer for them or not. Majority don't but they'll always pay attention to the Leafs no matter what.

Right, which is what I was replying to, a thread of posts that started with someone suggesting Greig would receive extra attention in the next few games because of what he did against Toronto, which is of course absurd.

Ahh gotcha. Sorry, I misunderstood.

He might get chirped for being an idiot but that's about it.

Leafs coach and other players openly defending it is going to make the DOPS go even harder to make sure that "the message sinks in" pretty dumb of them to be making these comments prior to the announcement by DOPS imo.

And Greig can fight?

Rielly has dropped the gloves before. Yeah he isnt a figjter but hes like any other good player and will try to scrap by throwing punches and missing 99% of them

He didnt fight b/c he lost his composure and didnt expect Greig would take the fight. His cross check if done lower to the back isnt talked about as badly.

Greig next year when we play the Sens can drop the gloves vs Rielly if he wants. Rielly won't back down from fighting

Are you Riellys mom? Why are you making excuses for him? He threw a dirty cross check to an opponents head. Thats it. No disputing. He should be sitting multiple games.

It's perplexing that the code supposedly dictates that things like showboating, excessive celebration, and taunting the opposing team are regarded as serious offenses by the players and other people within the game while actual violence with intent to injure occurring within gameplay and even after the whistle is alright. I enjoy hockey but this is something that makes me turn off the game and lose affection. Both points are important: taunting and similar behavior is only WORDS* and GESTURES said and done within a GAME and are done to ROUSE both your team and the opponent. They make for a more intensive and passionate game which should mean better entertainment for the fans. What good does injuring other players do? If I want to watch unhinged beat downs I turn to combat sport.

The code against showboating and anything that's viewed as a little bit excessive is by my estimation a Canadian thing, playing "the right way", "having class". Well it's actually the opposite: the Canadian way is the shitty way. Classlessness isn't pretending you have a hot stick when you celebrate a goal or taking a slapshot at an EMPTY net, it's hitting an unsuspecting person with intent to injure over nothing. The sport needs a wake up call. Does hockey even need Canada anymore? Not much good stuff coming from there lately (obv reference to junior hockey shenanigans). Hockey culture is incredibly low brow, 5-year-olds getting their emotions hurt over a mean word and stuff. Lol what a joke.

Edit: *) I must clarify that there are limits to what you can say to another player even if it's only words. Personal stuff like bringing up family members isn't acceptable nor is racist remarks.

I meant, whether the team or the owner or whoever could just decide to give him what he'll lose, ON TOP of what he's already losing.

Team can't, that would be cap circumvention. Don't think there would be any issues with other players doing it though, they do things like put money on the board for games against their old team for example, so this probably wouldn't be any different.

He's probably feeling pretty good about his job security because if he gets fired he knows he'll be the next coach of the Penguins.

Considering the NHL history and precedents; this is either a fine or a 10 game suspension. Who freaking knows anymore.

And man, people are just bitching in this whole thread. I loved what both players did. Hockey needs emotion again. The only bad thing here is there isn't another game cause the next time they play no one will remember this.

Because the data you're referencing need to be cleaned.
  • Washington's 12 includes two suspensions for Ovechkin skipping the all-star game and one for Kuznetsov's off-ice behaviour. Not related to Parros.
  • Boston includes one skipped all-star game.
  • Edmonton includes an automatic that wouldn't be ruled on by Parros.
Those data are also just bad. It has Clifford's suspension in the 2022 playoffs attributed to Tampa...

WIth Rielly's suspension, the Leafs are the only team at 10 excluding off-ice suspensions and automatics.

No matter who is in charge of the DOPS, over a long interval some team will be at the top of the suspension list.

Yet, that doesn't mean that the guy in charge hates that team.
