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

[Micklebot]

Yes and no. Almost exactly the same. Only difference is that Perron’s was direct to the head and to a guy that hadn’t done a single thing.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if Rielly gets the same or even more to remind players they can’t respond like that.

I hate dirty stick work. Especially when it’s revenge

Zub didn't do anything, but Perron did think he did something,

Also, there's another angle floating around from a cell phone recording that seems to show a pretty direct hit by Reilly as opposed to it ridding up.

 

[AchtzehnBaby]

Could cost Toronto their season.

That would not be ideal.

 

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

Reilly should have spent the night in jail.

 

[Rob Sense]

Check the guy but don't take his head off with a vicious cross-check. He deserves what he gets no place for blindside attacks. it is a chickensh*t play.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Very unlike Rielly. I guess the Leaf fans who think Rielly is a number 4 at best will get to see how this blueline moves the puck without him for a while.

We should also see if the "first time offender" comes into play in his favour, or if the wheel will be the wheel.

and the 100page winner is?

 

[Golden_Jet]

One more page to go

Don’t worry you’ll get there with your countdown every page.

 

[HofT]

Playoff games tend to count as double, slash vs crosscheck to the head (they've really been trying to crack down on hits to the head).

I could see two for that (equivalent of four in the reg season), was draisaitl hurt?

For sure, that usually the case. Except for Kadri (twice suspended while on the Leafs) and Bunting that received full series suspensions.

 

[guyzeur]

Morgan! Reilly?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Reilly should have spent the night in jail.

He’s already a prisoner to his fragile psyche

 

[Chainshot]

Who knows with Parros, this was 1 game:

Playoffs usually get about 20% of what is given out in the regular season. *shrug*

 

[guyzeur]

so sad!

 

[Sniper99]

53 pages and Leafs fans are still trying to defend his actions

you clearly havent read 53 pages, not all of us are defending that shit.

 

[Chet Manley]

I hope the department of player safety does a Vince McMahon all over Reilly

Not sure how supplying him steroids is going to help.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Imagine if the Leafs went on a 6-game losing streak without their only decent D-man and fell out of a playoff spot because of it

 

[guyzeur]

Why I have to write a bunch of stupid comments just for the Leafs fans?

 

[MXD]

The thread title seems wrong. In-person hearing means he could get 6 or more, not minimum 6.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Seems like everyone other than the Leafs are rattled here.

FAFO.

I guess you could say Reilly FAFO.

Hes now going to miss 5+ games as his teams best D man.

 

[JeffP]

Here's a team frequently at the bottom of the division pulling off a win against a very hyped team headed to the playoffs.
I don't even dislike the slapper that much as he's sealing the win after holding off the more talented team trying to tie things up.
I guess punch him in the face or body-check him if you have a problem there.

dramatic franchise is dramatic
assess the penalty and move on

 

[Rob Sense]

Honestly, Greig has this coming to him.

Really? getting a blindside cheapshot in the head for scoring a goal? I don't care how he scores nobody deserves a deadplay vicious hit. Rielly deserves to sit for a while and ponder.

 

[Leonardo87]

The thread title seems wrong. In-person hearing means he could get 6 or more, not minimum 6.

That would be maximum. Minimum means he is getting at least 6 games, but can be more.

I'm being totally facetious here, but if the Schiefele - Evans situation is considered somewhat similar to this situation (and it's absolutely not far-fetched), we're looking at a 20 game suspension.

you're wrong, Leafs are upset because we can't spell Really!

 

[hatterson]

Right. And saying he's getting a minimum of 6 is objectively incorrect.

He almost for sure will get 6 or 7, but the minimum is absolutely not 6 for an in person hearing.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

That’s gotta be the worst one I’ve seen yet
