Just helping you out, not everyone subscribes to the definition you make up in your own head

Yeah, no one wanted to hurt or punish Rielly. Every player had the option of dropping the gloves. Every player chose not to.

I don't consider a shove 'coming after' a player.

 

[RedHawkDown]

10 games? Is that the worst thing you've seen all year?

It’s gotta be up there given there is literally no arguable hockey value to this play.

In general suspensions should be way tougher to get this dog shit dirty play out of the game.

 

[francis246]

Likely he will be a healthy scratch the next game.

I do think internally they probably speak to him. Leadership group, Martin, Alfie probably let him know not to do it again. But I don’t think they scratch him.

 

[DueDiligence]

Great play by Rielly. Didn’t mean to get his stick that high obviously, but well deserved. Definitely have to be frustrated after the sens kept hitting the ice whenever a leaf player skated by.

You sound more butt hurt than Keefe did in his post game interview.

 

[Kegu]

Likely he will be a healthy scratch the next game.

Why would he be a healthy scratch?

 

[WORLDSTARHIPHOP]

Yeah, no one wanted to hurt or punish Rielly.

I can give you a definition but I can't teach you to read, you gotta give me something here

 

[NJDevs26]

Even if you want to claim the goal was 'hotdogging it', that's a crime without a victim unlike a stick to the head. What harm was caused to anyone by an empty-net slapshot, not like the dude was taking aim at another skater after the final buzzer.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I hope the next time a player has an empty breakaway against the Leafs, they full wind up for the slap shot and then just tap it in. It might completely break the Leafs fanbase.

Bonus points if that player plays for the Sens.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Imagine having to explain to a newcomer that the type of shot you use when you score a goal might hurt some feelings.

And this is supposed to be hockey.

Talk about extremely thin skin, and extremely confusing message to new fans.

Imagine explaining to a newcomer that 95% of icings don't get called when the defenseman (normally) doesn't reach the red line.

 

[Rob Brown]

Defend what exactly?

Who was hurt? Their feelings? Their pride?

This isn’t protecting anyone other than their poor egos.

It was clearly a 'f*** you' move (I'm fine with it, whatever, that's hockey etc.), but any team would have done something there. And if the Leafs didn't I'm sure you'd be calling them soft.

 

[NyQuil]

The alternative narrative here would have been 'lol the Leafs are so soft I can't believe Rielly didn't even do anything or retaliate!!!!!!!'

The narrative wouldn’t exist because it was just an EN goal.

The narrative should be that the Leafs lost another game after having the lead against a team they are far above in the standings.

 

[Hoek]

Grieg should've done a Michigan into the empty net. I wonder what Reilly would've done then

 

[Leaf Fans]

The fact that someone who types like this can opperate a computer is even more impressive.


Wow, I said something slightly mean that could have insulted someone. I guess I deserve to get cross-checked in the head for that.

Yes, you can use a computer. It is not the flex you think it is. Most of us can.

What did you say that could have insulted someone?
You are entitled to your guesses. I disagree with you though,

 

[Divine]

I can give you a definition but I can't teach you to read, you gotta give me something here

Did you read the definition you gave or just ignore the brackets?

But you're forgetting about all their feelings

 

[Theodore450]

Idk why he would go with the stick. Pretty pathetic. Keefe afterwards is hilarious, dude is such a bad coach

 

[Mr Positive]

I could see it not being suspended. It was a high hit but not the type that had much chance of injury. Mostly just knocked him over. Maybe the ones deciding these things also give Reilly a bit of a break because Grieg egged it on with his hot dogging

 

[Coffee]

Hronek would get absolutely bodied and miss the year after getting pummelled by Nurse if he cross checked him to the face

I’d like to see Nurse try, oiler boy

I clearly meant if he did the same hotdog slapshot middle finger goal and the Leafs did nothing, everyone here would be calling the Leafs soft with no response when they are disrespected.

 

[93gilmour93]

I actually hope to see a player go behind the net and do a Michigan on empty net now.lol

Just for the absolute chaos that would cause I'm with you lmao

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I get it. They will never win no matter what they do. If he did nothing then everyone would be saying the leafs are soft and let people bully them.

Our feelings hurt? lol way to exaggerate. I agree it’s dirty but any team will respond to that in some way.

Most players would get in a face and chirp and facewash at that point. Regular season game that's over. No need for the stick.

 

[All Mod Cons]

The only place he'll be rolling tonight is on a box-spring bed from most beautiful female Leaf fan to second most beautiful female Leaf fan.

Good player, but f*** me, he'd make most South American footballers blush.

Someone's feefees

 

[CanadianHockey]

I don't have a problem with Rielly showing emotion and confronting Grieg (would want my team to respond to a slap shot ENG), but inexcusable to get the stick up to the head. How anyone can defend it is beyond me.

 

[Metroid]

Sens fans enjoyed seeing some guy slap shot a puck into an empty net and not miss (well done buddy!) and leafs fans enjoyed seeing him get decked.

Win win, no? Entertainment. It's what we are here for.
