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

[93gilmour93]

Exactly.

I was in a bar when this happened, and the place erupted. It was perfectly fine then, but God forbid what Rielly did.

100%

Im not justifying anything bud. but comparing this to Bertuzzi and Moore is just stupid

The reaching is unbelievably strong in this thread.

I'm not comparing it to Bertuzzi and Moore, I'm comparing Leafs fans reactions to this to how I believe they would have reacted had Bertuzzi done what he had done wearing a leafs sweater.

I agree that no fines or suspensions should be given to anyone, I was point out that IF there are any fines Grieg should be one of them because he provoked the incident.

He was in his own barn. That's what you do to put the icing on another victorious battle of ontario series.

No way does anything happen if the team and locations were reversed.

 

[domiwroze]

Good hockey play, move along.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Rielly showed them by depriving the leafs of their best defenseman for at least a game. Take that senators!

Guarantee you that next year when the sens beat them they clap one into the empty net even harder.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Exactly.

Did you just compare Alfie’s hit on Tucker during game play vs post whistle crosscheck to the face?

Why bother making such an absurd comparison when Dale Hunter on Turgeon is an exact duplicate incident available to you?

 

[Petrus]

Yup..............and now we wait to see if it's 2 game suspension? 5 game suspension?
Direct shot to the head, so.........................

It should be 5 or more. This type of head hunting should be out of the game.

 

[newfy]

Just saw a second angle of it. I'm one who doesnt blame Rielly, but theres a direct comparison with Perron getting 6 games a month ago. Itll look pretty bad on Parros if Rielly doesnt get at least 5 for that. Perron was not a repeat offender just like Mo

 

[Korpse]

Perron was not a repeat offender just like Mo

Excuse me sir, Perron had one fine in his 1000 game career. Morgan Rielly is a saint and hardly takes penalties, he is such a nice guy.

 

[dirtydanglez]

i really wish these two teams played against each other again this season.

 

[Puck Tiss]

You really think grieg would have dropped the gloves? He would have just turtled and then people would just be bitching about rielly going after a defenceless player. Would make no difference

Would Rielly drop the gloves? Nobody is afraid of him.

 

[dirtydanglez]

Would Rielly drop the gloves? Nobody is afraid of him.

greig apparently.

 

[Strangle]

Grieg should’ve been expecting a response, but Reilly cross checking him in the head instead of dropping the gloves was a cowardly way to go about it

That guy isn’t going to drop the gloves, he’ll just fall to the ice and turtle

 

[CDJ]

You’re only allowed to shoot wrist shots when you’re winning late, no fair!!!!!!

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

greig apparently.

right.... reilly wins a fight by knocking his guys out first then drops the gloves.?

sounds like a great plan.

all grieg had to do was square up. its not like he didnt know what response he was going to get. tried to skate to the officials instead.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

That guy isn’t going to drop the gloves, he’ll just fall to the ice and turtle

f***, short memory? He would even destroy reaves.... LOL (but reaves is never on the ice)

what kind of fairytale lives do you lead in leaf land

 

[TheDoldrums]

I'm not comparing it to Bertuzzi and Moore, I'm comparing Leafs fans reactions to this to how I believe they would have reacted had Bertuzzi done what he had done wearing a leafs sweater.

wow, leafs fans are really monsters in this imaginary hypothetical you've invented, great point

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Next EN against Leafs should be a slapshot again

 

[Gary Nylund]

Grieg is a stupid, irresponsible, unsportsmanlike d-bag who deserved to be punished. Crap like that is begging for a response and the league should at the very least hand out warnings, and then suspensions for this kind of nonsense.

In other news, I guess we'll hit like 5K posts on this subject? Funny how so many people are obsessed with hating the Leafs.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Leafs are bums, this isn’t news.

 

[TheNewEra]

f***, short memory? He would even destroy reaves.... LOL (but reaves is never on the ice)

Exactly Reaves is about to cry about being scratched again

 

[MCR74]

An incredible example of reaching, but I wouldn't expect anything less.

Yeah it certainly isn’t a player cross checking another in the head post whistle, it’s all anti leaf bias. Please never change guys.
