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

[AchtzehnBaby]

Looks like Reilly has FAFO'd

DOPS comes through. Should be an interesting afternoon tomorrow

 

[Edgelord]

If this was even 6 yrs ago we would have .gifs of Grieg's head exploding, or Rielly attacking with a sword.
I hope after my old man nap there are a few good memes at least lol

Make the Leafs play in Salt Lake City

 

[Karl Eriksson]

And pro hockey players usually don’t behave like dickheads without expecting a response

Agree. There will be a response to Morgan’s dick head play

i thought in person is min. 5 games. where does the 6 come from? did it change.

Oh wow nice hit,

[featherhawk]

15+ is what he should get

Getting the champagne bottles ready are ya now?

Title is incorrect. In person hearing doesn't guarantee a 5+ game suspension. It's a necessary condition for 5+ games, not sufficient.

True, but how often does a player talk his way out of 5 with an in person hearing? I honestly don't know the answer but it feels like historically it's been pretty automatic.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Seems like very Leafs-esque to want ten of a guy who never won a Cup.

If you aren’t going to win you might as well be entertained.

They probably want to wait to see if Greig has any concussion symptoms or other injuries before scheduling the hearing. If he does, will Rielly play again this year?

You can do 5 games both in phone and in person. In person usually means 6 plus

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Ok feel free to come back here when it's announced he gets less than 6 lol.

I'm back.

People are comparing it to David Perron's suspension.

Crosscheck to head after the play is over.

6 games plus was obvious for anybody who did 15 minutes of googling to familiarize themselves with the player safety criteria and recent precedent.

People saying fine or 1 game kept using examples of suspensions related to hockey plays. That is the major distinction here.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Wait for the reactions if Rielly is suspended. HF will collectively cream its pants.

Well we already know it’s 6 or more.

 

[MCR74]

that’s great man, really happy for you guys.

While I watch the playoffs yet again, you can watch replays of 2017 and Greig blowing his load because he scored an empty net goal against Toronto. I doubt you’d see any non-Mickey Mouse team acting that way over a regular season game, but like I said, really happy that you Ottawa fans have at least something to cheer about this year lol.

Yeah, it's not exactly the flex they think it is.

While true, it's probably just verbiage for the DoPS to cover their asses, even if it usually results in 5+ game suspensions every time.

I can't imagine the NHL would be fine putting a hard minimum on games suspended verbiage whether it was in-person or not.

 

[All Mod Cons]

It will be a fine because he plays for Toronto.

Do they do in-person fines?

 

[Commander Clueless]

i thought in person is min. 5 games. where does the 6 come from? did it change.

I thought an in person was required to go beyond 5 games. Not sure about minimum.


But like....I ain't no expert.

Touche.

 

[Canadienna]

Seen some pretty bad takes but the worst of it has to be the idea that this shows how tough the Leafs are.. Drop the gloves if you're really tough.

Going after him makes sense but no need for a crosscheck to the side of the head.

 

[Petrus]

People don’t remember this from 30 years ago just like the code which doesn’t exist.

There are written articles on “the code” you can read up for all sports including hockey. In addition, if you have ever spoke to current or ex professional players they can attest to it.

I am not here to convince you. It’s up to you to make up your mind if you are willing to read up on it.

 

[Commander Clueless]

It will be a fine because he plays for Toronto.

Do they do in-person fines?

Yes they call you in and Parros slaps you and steals your wallet.

Justice!

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Since when is taking a slapshot into an empty net such an egregious insult? I could understand if Greig tried some variation of the Michigan, but a slapshot?
