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

[MCR74]

It's too bad he felt the need to turtle instead of doing that instead isn't it? What a coward. The sens leadership is teaching him well. Stutzle doing a great job having the rookies follow in his footsteps.

Those diving lessons are really paying off.

Wow. Andrew Raycroft! Jay Rosehill! Luke... Gazdic?

A veritable "who's that?" of players, if I've ever seen one.

Where you play?

I love how many former players can't even get Rielly's name right.

Why'd you conveniently leave out current player and captain, Brayden Schenn?

You mean the Brayden Schenn who - in the clip - specifically caveats his quote with how he doesn't think Rielly meant to crosscheck Greig and that "there's other ways to go about it"? A real ringing endorsement.

But okay, yes, Rielly has the support of Brayden Schenn and four other guys - three of whom who have been retired for a decade.

PK Subban said he loved Greig taking the slapper. He's got 800+ games. Can't we cash that in for, like, 200 Colby Cohens?

I’m sure other players are going to take clappers into the Leafs empty net after seeing how riled up it gets the entire city

 

[Ducer]

I think Pinto had them down to when by 2 goals and the kid was excited for his piece of the pie.

Kinda like how players are already taking a run at Greig ?

Good to see. I'm sure Mo has a lot more friends in the league than a rookie.

Beautiful hit. I wonder if the Sens stand by this one.

5 games for...scoring a goal...in a way that hurt Reilly's feelings?

This is Ridley's game. He is going to be a pain in the ass 50-60pt (maybe more) two way centre for the next decade+. He will play on the edge and get the better of little babies like Reilly

He will be a Sens fan favourite and hated by all other fan bases - who will secretly wish they had him.

I'm surprised a fan base embraced Darcy Tucker doesn't have more respect for him.

A good assessment. But forget about secretly hoping. Most fans would openly welcome Greig to their team right now.

It can still get appealed to Bettman. Longer suspension appeals go to an independent arbiter

I hope he appeals, and then Bettman gives him what is appropriate: a ten game ban! Would be hilarious.

How much money did Pinto put on that?

 

[yzerman]

Were you singing this tune about Perron as well?

Wouldn't want someone being super bias or anything!

Give anything like this assault situations 10-20 games no difference the player or the team the league must be hard on these things.The difference between like now the player almost goes right up and skate away or lies down and have a brutal injury is very small.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Beautiful hit. I wonder if the Sens stand by this one.

We won 6-3 and Greig scored. I think we'll take it.

Senators ultimate homer Marc Methot was a fan of it as well lmao

I’m sure Greig’s feelings were hurt even less than Leafs fans Greig win the GWG too

When a bird brain like Marc Methot supports it, you know you've done good.

The quotes

Is that a direct quote? It would explain.

[Sniperberg]

This Ridley Greg-fellow seems to be quite good at shithousery.
I like it. The game needs more players like that.

 

[NyQuil]

Alfredson slapshot the puck at Niedermayors leg at the end of a game during the Stanley Cup Finals. It only resulted in pushing and shoving. It's insane that people are more offended of a hard empty net shot than something like this

Josh Gorges did the same thing to Kyle Turris in the playoffs, same result.

Shades of Alfredsson.

In the end the good guys won and the bad guys lost.

Happy ending.

It’s cute how people think Grieg is only getting hit on the ice now, as if he hasn’t been a pest this entire time.

He got revenge when he scored the game winning goal.

Naive. It is hard you have to remember that in Toronto when they click on TSN or SN, it only has 46 stories on how Austin made a spectacular leap over boards during a game or how Willy Neelander was seen on the subway again. It is hard for the general public to understand there are other teams or players for that matter.

I get it - he popped into existence for the national media and Leaf Nation after that game and now they act like experts who know all about him.

Weird that this incident can throw someone off the rails so bad

Toronto and Reilly have to win this situation and Greig is a stupid stupid crybaby I mean what the hell
