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

[thefutures]

It's certainly amusing to see them whine about a victim complex when the Sens lost a 1st round pick and had a pretty good player suspended for 41 games off technicalities.



A fair sentence would have the Perron crosscheck which happened a couple months ago as a precedent. Not some obscure play that happened years ago.

Fumbling the paperwork you signed and pretending you didn't know better is not a technicality it's just another example of blatant incompetence lol.

Now let’s see if we can collectively get Firefly back on television.

Good old Canadian cast as the "good" Captain Malcolm Reynolds and as the "bad" Caleb in Joss Whedon's iconic series Firefly and Buffy: the Vampire slayer... Another of a long series of Canadian success stories south of the border...

For once I agree with one of your posts. What's happening.

 

[StumpyTown]

How is this worse than swinging a stick at someone's head? It's not, and this potentially getting 6+ just shows the blatant incompetence the NHL has shown over and over again.

You may be a bit confused. Do you even know what incident I'm referring to?

It's gotta be the giant f***ing Q!

 

[Petrus]

It's probably one of those knock of jerseys from China to be fair.

If I am being honest I would not spend the cost of the original for this version of the Leafs! My countless disappointments are enough.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Every fanbase can say the same. I’ll go next as a Jets fan. Scheifele with 4 playoff games (first time offender). Dillion just recently. 3 games for what most felt warranted the 5 mins in game penalty and maybe 1 game. See my point?

fair enough

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Who says they're trying to pressure them into a shorter sentence?

Gary Bettman himself had to overrule Parros because he thought Spezza's suspension was unreasonable.

The Leafs want a fair sentence. They don't want another Spezza situation where Parros gets all overzealous and Gary Bettman has to come in and overrule him because the player won't get the missed game back.

You are literally questioning the purpose of their campaign and then admitting they're pressuring Gary Bettman to apply a "fair sentence".

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

The fact of the matter is that Greig's act cannot be considered when considering the punishment for Reilly's act. So, Parros must consider Reilly's act in a vacuum. It's as if Greig was dumping a puck into the Leafs end, and was attacked.

Morgan Reilly cross-checked a player in the head, who no provocation. That's a lot of suspension incoming.

PS. I totally agree that Greig should have been roughed up and maybe glove punched a few times.

First sensible thing in this thread

 

[Canadian Time]

The Toronto hockey media have lost their collective minds, so much ado about nothing. They're rallying hard for a minimal suspension, probably because they know a 6+ game suspension could cost them the playoffs.

Rielly is a warrior dontchya know...

If you take out the provocation there is no provocation.

He'll get 6 like Perron, unless George truly gets his way.

I think a 6 game suspension makes sense. It's very strange that many people (inc. Sheldon Keefe), think this is worth a fine at worst.

The provocation was not illegal. Learn to control your emotions.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Get ready for diappointment.

I’m very confident the suspension will be light, they all are

Did Sheldon say that? I honestly haven't see it, but he may have done.

 

[93gilmour93]

Anything less than 20 games is inadequate

Not only is it dirty, it’s after the play is over

I think he should get 6 months in jail, 1 year community service and provide a piss test once a week

 

[Puck Tiss]

So you are agreeing there was provocation? Just not illegal?

The slap shot into the empty net, yes. You cant cross check a guy in the head though. Very simple logic.

Little excessive, no?

 

[ghostingtaro]

i wonder whats taking so long

Nah. I haven't been this outraged since Hulk Hogan joined the NWO. Two year suspension for Morgan

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Dumb move. Reilly should know better than this.

Exactly this. Attention. They are dragging it out as long as possible so people talk.
