Morgan Rielly suspended for five games for cross-checking Ridly Greig in the head (Mod note in OP); upd: Rielly appealing his suspension (upheld)

[OVO16]

Can't decide what's weaker, the bait in this thread or the Leafs effort to prevent Greig from absolutely clowning them.

Lmao Greig turtling and running away to the lockeroom was him clowning the leafs??

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

Sure, but we know it won’t. This is the NHL, no one knows what’s going on, or what they’ll do tomorrow.

I guess if it happens in front of the Habs net it’s not even a penalty. But if it happens after a goal, it’s 5 games.

Well that’s not even right, Matthews got 2 games for a cross check in front of the net. Maybe it was in front of the wrong net?

I don’t know how the NHL keeps this shit straight lol

you’re also leaving out lots of context. Not a live play, retaliatory etc which do matter and make the perron case the most comparable

This is the kind of flaccid shit I was talking about.

At least no one should be shocked by that,

Oh the irony my god Sens fans are hilarious. Treating Greig like some hero. Another pathetic season for the sens if this is whats considered a win

 

[gimbznyr]

Should have been 10+ enough of this thug behavior.

 

[Lilou]

Leaf suspensions seem to set new standards. Let's see if parros can stick to it going forward...my guess is the next crosscheck to the head gets a fine. Watch.

Perron set it at 6.

Rielly got lucky.

We know this will be the case

Perron set it at 6.

Rielly got lucky.

And the next one will set it as a fine

And the wheel keeps spinning

He took out the Leafs' #1 D for 5 games, that's some extremely successful clowning if you ask me.

 

[Roksta]

Should be more, but at least leafs fans will stop whining about favoritism (joke they will never stfu)

leaf fans really do have the spotlight effect. Perron literally just happened and definitely paved the way for this decision

Victim complex

He has, 6 weeks ago Perron got 6, Reilly got 5 on the next one, hopefully not trending down. Short term memory.

 

[BagHead]

Only 5 games? Not bad! Dale Hunter got 21 for doing the same thing.

Rich coming from fans that think they deserved a cookie because their team got a good handshake after another embarassing playoff exit

You speak of pathetic when your team has not won a cup since humans landed on the moon

I’m just glad that we’ve confirmed that in 2024 that an in-person hearing can occur remotely, via Zoom. Now a non in person hearing, How are those conducted?

 

[v00d00daddy]

I wonder if the leafs will appeal the amount. They have a week before they play the 5th game.

I hope they do. For no reason other than to see Sens fans and leafs haters erupt lol

This has been a thing for a number of years. Players can be offered an in person hearing but decline to attend it in person and do it via zoom.

 

[Petrus]

Perron set it at 6.

Rielly got lucky.

That must be the MLSE discount.

Yes. Turgeon laying unconscious was the "same thing".

smh

Can try,
Gary doesn’t usually change any, don’t forget Gary can also increase the number as well as decrease, but usually upholds original.
There is no appeal after Gary, because the number is less than 6 games,
if want the independent arbiter , original suspension is 6 or more.

 

[BagHead]

Yes. Turgeon laying unconscious was the "same thing".

smh

It was the same action. The consequences were less severe for the victim due to Greig seeing it coming where Turgeon did not. Lucky for Greig. Though, lucky for Rielly too, I suppose, since the DoPS punishes by result and not action, mostly.

They can't appeal 5 games. The 6th game grants the right to appeal from an independent arbitrator. Im sure Batman wants this shit out of the game, so hes not gonna listen to an appeal

What would they appeal it over though? It will just be a rehash of Persons's appeal which was denied
