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

[jbeck5]

I mean what Greig did is literally the equivalent of what a taunting penalty would be in the NFL. That’s not the kind of personality that sells tickets in the NFL/NBA.

Taunting? Lmao.

It's a Slapshot. It's part of the game.

 

[Nineteen67]

What Rielly did should happen more often in the NHL .

 

[Rob Brown]

Showed all that gumption AFTER game was over.
Should get at least a fine a game.

aren’t you the guy that celebrated Bennett hurting Knies?

 

[abax44]

Had every right to drill the guy but got the stick up to the head. That’s a sussy!

He has no right to drill him.

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

I don't think the Sens players minded. No one seemed to go after Rielly.

Heck, Tampa made more of a fuzz when Point went into the boards without being touched.

Why are you commenting when you didn't watch the game?

 

[bumblebeeman]

Guess you never laced them up

I played but never had someone cheap shot someone else after the whistle during a game like that. There is nothing that can justify that, especially how someone chooses to shoot a puck into the empty net. Plays like that are an embarrassment to the sport, and that fans defend it makes me embarrassed to be a hockey fan

 

[_habsfan9]

Show us on the doll where the clapbomb hurt you...

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Greig should’ve done the lacrosse.

 

[jbeck5]

Ah, the old f*** around and find out special.

Greig: f***ed around
Also Greig: Found out

I have no problem with Reilly's reaction. That was a bush league move by a borderline NHL player

Really coming to defense of that empty net eh, Jesus Christ lmao.

 

[Naych_PHX]

I like the title is "Dirty cross check to the head." Is there a clean cross check to the head?

But that was unneeded. I guess he didn't want to pull a Stefan.

They gave him some comfort hugs and let him off

Then Giroux after the game said emotions got the best of Greig and he has no comment on what he thought of Grieg's play.

 

[Korpse]

Guess you never laced them up

Have you? When someone does something you don’t like, you give them a good whack and if they want to go, you fight. You don’t cross check them in the head that’s chick shit behaviour.

 

[majormajor]

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

What crosscheck from Pionk?

I went back and looked at that play, and not only did Marner talk shit after scoring the ENG, nobody crosschecked Marner in the head. Do you think they should have?

 

[pcruz]

I never get the logic behind seeing someone making a B-line towards you and not protecting yourself

He does.


The cross-check hits the shoulder and the act of defending himself makes the stick ride up to the head.

 

[andora]

Greig caused shit - that was his prize. Surprise .. he was fine

Reaves can dick off.
Stutzle only had 3 8s on his draw in the 3rd

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

They gave him some comfort hugs and let him off

Crazy how quick the goalposts move

 

[Leaf Fans]

Would it be any more respectful if Samsonov was there? What's the difference, the net is empty in both cases.

Yeah, just slide the puck in the empty net.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

aren’t you the guy that celebrated Bennett hurting Knies?

Was that game over? Was the play dead? Not sure why you brought this up here.

 

[jbeck5]

yes, that is the risk of hurting feelings. There's a line and if you cross it you risk violence.

Greig went waaaaaaay over the line and a retaliation would have happened no matter what team it happened to.

Slapshot is wayyyyy over the line and hurts feelings real bad

 

[hamzarocks]

What crosscheck from Pionk?

I went back and looked at that play, and not only did Marner talk shit after scoring the ENG, nobody crosschecked Marner in the head. Do you think they should have?

No your right I misremembered that play

Pionk tried to hit marner on the ENG amd got sent flying but that was still not a bad move. Can hit a guy trying tk score on ENG

Was just a small schuffle after the goal

 

[Gallagbi]

Taunting? Lmao.

It's a Slapshot. It's part of the game.

Which is why you see it so often

 

[Troy McClure]

These tough guys are so sensitive. Maybe if you don’t want him putting the game away like that, go win the f***ing game. Being mad about how he shit it is loser talk from babies.

 

[K1900L]

By 'all the former players' he is probably referring to himself and other AHL elevator goons.
Their combined brain capacity is probably as capable as Rielly willfully taking the game suspension with 5 seconds left to play is a 'heroic hockey act'.

I'm just hoping the Leafs continue to show 'grit' (-Bieksa) and enforce manners this way so any opposing team knows how to make them lose their most valuable players. Truly a very smart team and fanbase.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Meh sure it’s dirty but f*** around and find out I guess

 

[Reaser]
