It was pretty clear when you watched the video and listened to the audio.

Didn’t stop people from jumping all over him though

Thank God. The online witch hunt community should be ashamed of themselves. Glad HF was quick to shut down threads and stuff. A lot of mods on reddit looking really bad right now.

 

[danpantz]

Not shocking. Unless the ref specifically said that Reilly said it, it wasn’t going to end in anything.

The video doesn’t prove anything no matter how much it gets broken down.

 

[diceman934]

As I thought. Rielly did not say what people thought he may have.

 

[stickty111]

Rielly isn't the person to do that. It's good they found out he didn't use the term.

Oh I think the comment was made, Im just not convinced it was Rielly who made it. Probably a fan got picked up by the camera

 

[I Believe]

Good news. Don't want to picture our defence without him

 

[therealkoho]

phew...

 

[Blanche Blanche]

The people who called him a bigot and etc...

go look in a mirror and have a hard look - quick hasty judgements are the bane of society

I thought the audio and video made it clear that he DID do it...

 

[Rob Brown]

Good.

 

[93gilmour93]

I wonder if all the idiots with the guilty till proven innocent attitude are as quick to apologize as they were to jump all over Rielly. SJW nation fails yet again......

If you listen to the Tampa broadcast its clear a Tampa players said "rag it" and followed up by repeating "rag, rag, rag" which made sense in the penalty killing context.

His own GM through him under the bus and tried to make himself look like a progressive executive before he got the info and supported his player ...which is his job! Disgraceful

Unless Rielly is a Ventriloquist, it made it pretty clear.

 

[willmma]

Wohoo!

He must have called the ref a "fascist", must be.
(I didnt see the video)

Also, Daren Dreger was calling for a 7 game suspension this morning!!

 

[Gary Nylund]

Awesome!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I said it when it came out. The fact people didn't think a ref would call a penalty on a player for screaming such a thing at them is ridiculous lol

 

[Leafs9408]

Atleast they got it right

Youre reaching.

 

[Peasy]

Such a joke that people always jump to the worst conclusions.

Also lol @The CyNick for trying to turn Dubas helping the NHL with the investigation into a negative. I'm sure they asked Rielly if he actually said it, and wanted to do what they could to make sure the NHL realized that he didn't say it as well.

 

[SprDaVE]

Glad they did their investigation and I'm even more happy Rielly didn't utter those words. They interviewed the official, Rielly and other people around.

Case closed and we can move on.

lol what?

All he said was that they were aware, they condemn homophobia, and they will cooperate with the NHL investigation.

What are you talking about.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

So who yelled the distincly audible slur?

It doesn't really matter but I'm pretty curious.
