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

[Chainshot]

HNIC in full damage control about this.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Leafs and their fans showing how fragile they are

so the ones saying BRUTAL ATTACK and NEARLY KILLED HIM are the tough ones here?

 

[gimbznyr]

Oh f*** off.

We need to set a precedent and clean up this thug behavior.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I’m not an Oilers fan, but McDavid and Draisaitl are quite literally one of the best playoff performers currently.

Still losing…

 

[I am Canadian]

It’s not breaking the code but it’s lame and inexplicable given the game was the most mild mannered thing I’ve ever seen. I have no clue what possessed him to do that.

He's tired of playing an Away game in Ottawa. That's exactly why he did that

 

[canuckking1]

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

 

[93gilmour93]

Greig trying to show up the opponent. F*** around and find out. Rielly will get a couple games....

 

[Wallet Inspector]

It’s called sportsmanship. Slap shot into an empty net is just unnecessary. It’s not that difficult.

It was a close game against a rival, Greig was pumped that his team won, it's not unsportsmanlike at all.

 

[hatterson]

Things that are true:

1.) It was a major bush league move taking a slap shot from 5 feet away into an empty net
2.) Rielly was right to give him the business about it.
3.) Rielly's actions went way overboard "giving him the business" and he'll rightly sit for a while for it.

 

[cyris]

at least we are on the way up now that dorion and dj are purged.

leafs most definitely on the way down. lets wave hi when we're passing each other.

That’s the same thing you guys said last year.


And the year before………

 

[Nineteen67]

I have no problem with emotion in the game. He’ll get 1 or 2 games, but 5 mins is enough.

 

[Ezekial]

Brutal attack? It'll be a couple games but you are not on this planet if that qualifies as a "brutal attack."

Cross checking someone in the face sending them face first into the boards after they score a goal is a pretty brutal attack in hockey terms, mate.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Still losing…

Oilers are literally better than the Leafs. In every single way.

And this is coming from a Canucks fan lmfao

 

[Mrfenn92]

Reily gonna get a game at least

 

[Dr Pepper]

What a bitch move by Rielly. Little sore loser.

Enjoy your suspension, idiot.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

"Attack" 911 lines busy.

Punk shit then nose dives to the ice. Love it from Rielly.

He's been taking lessons from Stutzle.

 

[Divine]

Hilarious that even Giroux basically said 'emotions got the best of you' followed by no comment on Grieg's classless slapshot

 

[Xirik]

Morgan Reilly is a cat, Trying to scratch and claw at Grieg when he lost his stick. Good thing his safety mittens were kept on.

 

[thebestnic]

so the ones saying BRUTAL ATTACK and NEARLY KILLED HIM are the tough ones here?

Fragile

 

[DueDiligence]

Greig celebrating the highlight of the Sens season with style

Let's face it Leafs ain't going nowhere in the playoffs again.

 

[JetsFan815]

Scheifele got 4 playoff games for a similar play. Curious to see if the league would hold a Leaf to the same standard.

 

[That Habs Fan]

Would have been hilarious if Grieg missed.

 

[leafsfan5]

This is a funny one where it’s inarguably a suspension but I would have done the exact same thing if I was Rielly. Both players got/will get what they deserved.

Yeah there's no doubt it's a suspension but you probably do that 10/10 times and live with it lol

 

[I am Canadian]

@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

 

[Former Referee 68]

Ottawa will have to give up a 2nd round pick
