Okay, go ahead.

You literally said if Grieg was injured Rielly should be charged by law enforcement. So far Friedman was the only one I saw in that range.
Wouldnt be the first time the sens threatened legal action against something that happened on the ice

I'm good with this. I legitimately think, while this is a greater suspension than a typical player gets for a first-time infraction, it's the minimum appropriate. The issue isn't the DoPS (pronounced "dopes") handling Rielly unfairly, it's that they are historically incompetent and inconsistent in other cases. They need to enforce other heads shots with longer suspensions if they want to be serious.

No issue with the suspension. Was guessing 6 games like Perron, but don’t have a problem they decided on 5 games.
Yea, it’s a remarkably similar play so having 6 as a starting point makes sense. Reducing it one game because it was less forceful than the Perron one and Rielly is a clean player in general also makes sense.

No such thing as code in the Sports World. There are rules and nothing else. Code is for losers. How many many minutes is the penalty for breaking the code? 5 games for being an idiot. If any code was broken it was Morgan.

you might be surprised to learn that the rest of the league doesn't think about your team as much as you think they do lol

No, but the peanut gallery on the main board sure does.

The work? You're the one that said every analyst had 4-6 games. Show us.

Why make a false claim and expect others to disprove you?

Why bother?

Well another precedent is set. Let’s see how the next DoPS decision goes.

They’ve been getting worse and worse so who knows.

BTW apparently Weekes got a leak of info before the DoPS even notified the leafs.

We can also look forward to see what non leaf loving players and vets say about this decision
