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

[CgyFlamesftw]

Andersson first time offender got 4 games with almost identical play. Let’s see what the wheel of justice does.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

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

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

The CBC damage control is comical at this point.

CBC should be no longer a thing in the NHL.

It should be outlawed to have announcers from Toronto. So biased.

Reilly getting 3 games. Bookmark this

"Brutal attack" lmaooooooo

Classic case of DBAA. Reilly deserves a game and Grieg probably won't do that again. Grieg knew what he was getting into when he did that.
All in all a good learning experience for everyone.
Still chuckling about that dramatic "Brutal Attack" headline. Got some real sensitive Sallys on HFBoards. Take it this was OP's first time watching a game?

 

[Svencouver]

More players should swag on their empty netters. Make the other team mad, the game needs more hate

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

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

Hell, Diilion was just given 3 for what most felt was 1 or even just the 5 he got in game.

 

[Forge]

Don't want him to score like that, maybe you should prevent it from happening.

Soft snowflake shit from Reilly

 

[Wallet Inspector]

So he slap shots it in from 2 feet out?

Being pumped is celebrating, not being a dick like that

The slap shot was celebrating.

Your criteria for "being a dick" must be pretty wide.

 

[onetweasy]

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

Here comes the tough guy.

Name any professional sport where a play like that isn’t deemed violent.

 

[voxel]

Lol.. one game max.

About the same as this.

 

[Static]

I never said that.

Then why bring it up?

 

[Edgelord]

too bad he got injured but play stupid games and win stupid prizes.
I have 0 issues with a suspension.
I think this will get the team going.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hunter on turgeon 2024 edition. Different league

I wouldn't say exactly, but this is pretty close.

 

[Beantown Beatdown]

It not happening often isn't an argument for it being disrespectful.

Lmao it absolutely is. It doesn’t happen often because players know not to do it. Duh

 

[LeafGrief]

Two or three games. Should have dropped the stick before connecting with the face.

Don’t think Leafs fans are going to lose much sleep over this, and I’m happy some of you guys are getting a good cry in.

 

[Madap]

Lol Ottawa. You can tell playing Toronto is their Stanley cup after scoring an empty net goal like that.

Enjoy the bottom of the standings and being the joke of the league as usual.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

f*** around… find out.

That cross check was worth it.

 

[NyQuil]

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.

Also when they kept hitting the net with goals.

 

[The Expert]

What a stupid play, suspension for sure.

 

[Ace]

What even is the message? When you beat us with an empty netter next time…DO IT THE RIGHT WAY!

lol..ok bro. Good use of a cheap shot

 

[I am Canadian]

Try not being a fragile little man child and get back to us, thanks. It was a bullshit play and you know it.

My point stands - try not commenting on things you can't/don't understand.

 

[um]

Totally, if someone's feelings are hurt it absolutely justifies physical violence.

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.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

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

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

LMAO borderline...

 

[Matt24]

Then why bring it up?

Why project onto my comment?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

The CBC damage control is comical at this point.

I need Kevin Bieksa to tell me how this is a bonding moment for the jaded Leafs.
