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

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Then there’s a time and place for retribution. This was not the time!!!! Dumb Ass Reilly will realize that after he sits a few. I’d give him 4 games.

no better time tbh

 

[MXD]

If Rielly has an issue with Greig's slapper, go over and give him a face wash, start a scrum or something. Don't skate over and cross check him in the head. f***ing gutless move.

Or just, take the number and hit him harder next game, preferably legally.

(Though I think it was the last Sens/Leafs game in 2023-24)

They are upset because the Sens won the

It pisses off Senators fans though

We’re so angry we’re going to crosschrck someone in the head.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Perron got 6 games for a somewhat similar retaliation cross-check against the Sens not long ago. Reilly has a reputation for being a clean player, so I suspect he'll get 4-5 games.

If the Sens get a similar chance at an empty net against the Leafs, I'm sure they will do the exact same thing. The same cannot be said for Reilly.

you're working hard tonight

What a baby

 

[Leaf Fans]

Bush league? Lmao what?

Why? Did the slap shot hurt the nets feelings?

It's an Ottawa Senators net from their building.

Why do you care?

It wasn't your head. Why do you care?

Yes I agree. In the heat of the moment I think players should go over there and say please dont do that again or else I will be very very upset.

 

[Hank Plank]

Are some of you completely out of it? Hammering the puck home on an empty net is a salt in the wounds move. 100% intended to be taken that way.

 

[MXD]

LOL WTF Context of this?

 

[pcruz]

I like that he cross-checks the shoulder and as the arm comes up to defend himself, brings the stick to the head.

After breaking one of the unwritten rules of the game.

It's a penalty well worth taking.

 

[Michoulicious]

His feelings were hurt so he crosschecked a person in the face.


What an idiot.

Feel shame, Morgan. Feel shame.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Leafs are fragile.

 

[Three On Zero]

Slapshot was a good exclamation mark on a good game for Ottawa, Rielly is an idiot for going after him

 

[hamzarocks]

Im forgetting how many games did Pionk get for the cross check on Marner back in 2021 when marner scored an ENG to make it 3-1.....

If the league suspends Rielly its a

@Tasteless Beaver try shooting a slap shot empty net goal in a beer league game/any game and let me know how the other team feels about it. If you can skate that is

It's been league. No one cares. You win or lose 8-2 and laugh with the other team and high five each other and then drink beer and smoke weed.

Literally no one cares if someone scores via Slapshot.

The only way they'll care is if they don't keep the Slapshot down with traffic infront. THAT'S the only thing people care about slapshots in beer league. Keep it down.

 

[Jee]

Lmao Reilly is such a bitch

 

[King Woodballs]

If Dillion of 3 games for an actual play.
Reilly should be getting 10 for that garbage.
That was well after the play and he targeted him.

 

[Korpse]

LOL WTF Context of this?

He loves being a shit disturber.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Kind of a dumb play by Rielly. If you’re going to send a message, send it during the game. A cross check after the game is lost won’t deter anyone and just results in a useless suspension.

 

[Kegu]

It’s an unwritten code, all sports have their set of things you just don’t do to big time the other players. Basketball you don’t score when you’re up big at the end of the game or dunk. You let the clock run out. Same kinda deal with football.

Doesn’t mean anything to thee average fan but these professional athletes hold one another to those sets of rules. I can guarantee the vets on Ottawa are probably laying into Ridley for doing that. Happy over the win but probably not happy about him as a young guy doing that.

Is cross-checking someone in the facebecause your feefees were hurt also part of the code?
