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

[Leaf Fans]

When Rielly's appeal doesn't go through, is it truly a time to move on from this?

I think most people have moved on. Even with an appeal any action is usually Retro-active and puts money back in the players pocket.

Some masculine codes are really dumb. Getting one's panties in a knot because some dude fired a slap shot into an empty net is one of them.

why is this the only era where a player should get away with stuff like that?

Rielly's way to dealing with it was cowardly but doesnt mean Greig didn't deserve to be punched in the face

He did deserved to get punched in the face, he didn’t deserve to get cross checked in the face.

They are trying to get rid of head shots so that’s why they allow bare knuckle boxing in the NHL because it’s real man on man action which is what being a man is all About - and Morgan Reilly showed us all what it is to be a man = shallow ego and fragile pride coupled with impulsive decision making

The entire thing is stupid. If you have Ryan Reaves talking about more violence in hockey and his own coach won’t even play him because he’s a complete tool and liability this is where the intellectual high water mark of this conversation got to = Greig did something dump so Morgan should be allowed to do something dumb by attacking Greig brain and possibly giving him life long disability for shooting a puck into a net

This entire thing is stupid. Come bavm
To this thread and read it after the season is done and you’ll see how stupid this entire thing is

Yeah thats what I said he did deserve to be punched in the face for that. not crosschecked in the face.

Hockey is a violent sport. if you wanna do disrespectful shit like that you should expect a reaction just like any player would ever since the beginning of hockey

this isnt basketball or baseball. hockey is a mans sport the hell are you talking about; the NHL is the softest it's ever been and it's also become less exciting than ever. no rivalries anymore.

You'd think teams would want fools to wind up and shoot for the empty net. More chance for somebody to screw up and shoot wide/high.

Have people still not pieced together that Reaves was quoting the tag line of Parros, the Head of Player Safety? The whole statement was literally designed to point out the hypocrisy of the NHL???

LOL. You picked an intelligent one! "Players hate giving up empty net goals because it affects their +/-." I can't believe these guys get paid to do this stuff....,.

It wasn’t. Morgan acted like a child and could’ve caused injury to a player over an empty net goal. He deserves his suspension.

Promoting violance much?

According to you, scoring a fair goal means attacks to the head are ok…

Let me get the straight.. Greig deserves to be punched in the face because he scored an empty net goal? Some maybe all the Toronto players deserve to be punched in the face for letting that happen? Just asking. If you don't want people to score on you, play better defense and leave your goalie in net would be a good starting point.

 

[Peasy]

If theres nothing wrong with it I'm sure we'll see Greig do it again right?

 

[jbeck5]

Imagine thinking because someone insulted you, you can go hit them in the face with a hockey stick.

They would rather call Reaves stupid in a blind case of irony. Let them go lol

Yup. It's not like did a lacrosse move or shot between his legs. Normal hockey play. Sometimes it seems people are inventing hockey codes on the fly, depending on what a player from one's favorite team did.

I'm pretty sure most view Lundqvist as an intelligent one.

If DownGoesBrown did video skits, I can totally see him doing "What if hockey codes were used in everyday life?"

Even the punch in the face thing is stupid. You got insulted? Cool.

If someone walked up to you in the street and said "you suck at your job" and walked away...this is insulting..this is disrespectful. It's your career. Your livelihood.

Are you chasing him down to punch him in the face? Does he deserve concussion/brain damage/ permanent injury/ maybe death... Because he was disrespectful to you about your job?

Try applying any type of normal common sense to this, and it becomes extremely stupid sounding to try to defend Morgan Rielly attacking someone because he got his feelings hurt.

It's amazing to think that all these retired non-HHOFers make up shit about a code when there was never something like this done before. It's all MLSE fed media making a mockery of the situation to get less games for Captain Morgan.

 

[Silky Johnson]

Simplify all you want. Whatever works for you. If stuff like Grieg did becomes a norm in the nhl and is praised…the game will lose millions of followers. And it’ll probably gain a bunch too.

It’s cool to be an asshole I guess lol

It works for the NBA...

Morning chaps. How is everyone? Have we solved it yet?

Sure to become a league wide trend.
