Serious question for the novice hockey fans who don’t see anything wrong with Grieg unloading “a clapper” five feet away from an empty net - - why do you suppose we don’t see more players taking “a clapper” like that on empty net breakaways?

What’s a “clapper”? Do you mean “slapper” as in slapshot?

You are more likely to miss if you do a full wind up than if you tap it in.

Also, look up the Stefan missed goal against the Oilers to see what happens when you show boat.

you dont have to like or even understand hockey culture but it exists. that play is always going to end up in a scrum regardless of the player or teams involved. the only reason for that play is to intentionally antagonize your opponent. im all for the slapshot too but it was a totally cowardly move to run away from the scrum. grieg should have taken that slapper and immediately turned around and faced rielly.

Seems to me like Rielly was schooled by Greig.

he has a good point, all the talk of what code????
Obviously there is a code since we don't see things like this and when we do, there is always a reaction.

 

[MCR74]

Reminds me of when Brady Tkachuk cross checked Huberdeau when he scored an ENG. Sens seemed to have a problem with that one, so they'll probably understand Morgan's response.

That's called "leadership".

If you can’t handle a guy taking a slap shot into your empty net, play better so they don’t get the chance.

There’s nothing hockey about what Reilly did. Should be a many many games suspension, but it’s the NHL so 50 bucks and a handwritten apology on a napkin aughtta do it.

Is that Scheifle doing all the caps lock writing?

Schielf would have said "friggin"

Just take it from Kent:

 

[Cotton Eye Joe]

yup, they both broke the code.

Except Greig is much smarter than Rielly cause Greig didn't break a rule.
Rielly did, and will get a lengthy suspension.
Educated.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I should have added a number to quantify it I suppose.

2 or fewer?

3 or 4 games?

5 or 6 games?

It'll be 5 or more

Greig took a blindside cross check to the head. The force of which knocked him silly. How was he, while in that state, join the resulting scrum?

Man, all this is teaching me is hockey players are just a bunch of man children.
“Boo hoo he scored an empty net goal with a slapshot, I need to beat the shit of him. “

How pathetic.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Good take

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I would laugh if Morgan Reilly only got a fine. It would be fun to read these boards!

 

[Tatar Shots]

Absolute joke if it’s not an in person hearing. So I suppose that means it will be a phone hearing.

Grieg was the one who learned a lesson TBH

 

[Chainshot]

So the proper response to show boating is, assault? Just sounds like immature dudes who can’t handle essentially trash talk.

It's like Tyson Nash's comments about Zegras.

Reilly going in with the his gloves off and fists is within the bounds of the game. Drilling someone in the face with a stick is never the right response.

 

[Knave]

the DOPS is awaiting word from Gary Bettman on how to cover for the Maple Leafs and Morgan...that is typical of both the DOPS and Gary...

The real answer is they're on the phones with multiple "league insiders" floating ideas, reading the reactions on twitter and other sites.

First it was leaked they were "gathering information", then people were wondering why the f*** it wasn't automatically in person?

And so a little later another insider says they're debating in person vs phone and now they're reading through that reaction trying to determine if 4-6 games is acceptable and people will move on.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Good take

This is honestly the best take on it.

The Sens players picked him as their player of the game.
