Going after a player with a high crosscheck isn’t beating the soft allegations.
Morgan Rielly cross check to the head of Ridley Greig (DOPS UPDATE: In Person Hearing - 6 games or more possible)

This was exactly like baseball where a guy poses after a home run then the butthurt pitcher either beans the next guy in the back or headhunts the perpetrator himself next time through the order.
You're not allowed to cross check a guy in the head because he hurt your feelings. Maybe fans like you can petition a rule change for no taunting.

Thats the thing, you can respond without blowing a gasket and cross checking a dude in the face.

Are you being serious or do I need to explain what "want" means?

I don’t think so, I don’t even think it would be big news.
The reaction is what made it such a big deal.
Maybe he goes over and jaws at him or shoves a glove in his face and there’s a little post-game scrum that happens often enough.

If you read all my posts I said it was unnecessary, but my point still stands. If the Leafs did nothing everyone here would be saying they never defend themselves. It is what it is.

Of course it won't be suspended, George Parros is still running DPS. Maybe you'll get a game tops, if that.

Explain what want means to you
Like I said - every player had the option of fighting Rielly. Every player declined. It's not something they wanted to do.
They were happy holding him and hugging him.

Plenty of empty netters are from slapshots. I think a few of Ottawa's D have empty net Slapshot goals this year alone.
It's not some super unique thing.

It was attempt to injure with 5 seconds left in the game. Only reason you are deliberately smashing your stick into someones head is to injure them. Its not a question of if there is a suspension but how many games.

I can understand that, but also at least we’re not baseball where you’re not allowed to hit a homerun late in a game with a 3-0 count.
Greig probably did it wanting a response anyway.

so like are the leafs going to scratch him? he did what he's paid to do. and he will continue doing that without any regard for feefees.
Rielly just sent a strong message to the rest of the league!
If you take a slap shot on the Leafs empty net when the game is over, you will pay the price.

I never said it would be big news either, lol. And yes obviously the reaction is why we're here on page 30, but if the Leafs did nothing it would be another 'wow the Leafs never respond when other teams disrespect them'.

Can you provide a game or so?
I doubt a senator dman is up infront of the play 2 feet from the net and slapshotting it into the net
I just don’t see the need to do that

Careful, you'll figure out why you don't use "definition" like most people.

Perron got 6.
10 isn't that outlandish given the context of it being right after a goal with seconds remaining in a non-hockey play.
It would be a similar logic to players coming off the bench. Does a goon coming off the bench mean a fight is going to be more violent than a fight that takes place if that goon is already on the ice at the time it is initiated? No. But if they need to penalize it with a long suspension because otherwise there is too much incentive for goons to come off the bench and interject.
If they don't give him a significant suspension, then it teaches players that you can engage in a non-hockey play with intent to injure when the game is already over and best case scenario you take out the star of a rival team with very little consequence to yourself or your own team.
If this was a goon/repeat offender type, it would be a massive suspension. Reilly's only saving grace is that he is a good boy and he is not strong enough to hurt Greig. The floor is 6, which was Perron's suspension (which had a failed appeal fyi). It will likely be higher because of the timing and context of it happening when the game was basically over.

I really didn’t see it that way.
Responding is when the physical ante is raised or when someone gets hurt.
Not when a guy scores a EN. The game is essentially over anyway. Go home and think about your mistakes.
If he did that against any team he was getting decked there. Probably not cross checked cause that’s dumb af. But I think he’s getting dog piled for sure or confetti gloves. Those are probably more appropriate and less crazy responses lol
