Player Discussion Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

[OD99]

If players who are physical and not afraid to dish out hits, like Greig, give out late hits on other teams' young stars (like Dach), other teams meatheads are more likely to go after our stars.

There is a small percentage of players that are predatory and will go after our stars regardless, but that doesn't mean we still want any of our guys giving out late hits or any more reason to give the borderline meatheads a reason to start targeting Stu or Sanderson, or even Greig himself.

I think the game happens fast and all players, young or not, need to be ready.

Late hits are part of the speed of the game, sometimes it is obvious but sometimes it is just how it goes.

There is zero time to be thinking of hitting this person or that, etc...not sure what game you have bee watching all these years.

Greig and Rielly should drop the gloves. Then it'll be over.

If Rielly wants this, it'll happen. Greig dropped 'em with Dach and he's way bigger than Rielly.

Greig should give Rielly a nice two hander from behind. Rielly will probably be upset but then Greig can point out how poetic it is and I think Rielly would probably chuckle and get a kick out of that.

Dach is not a star player.


I hope Greig keeps doing exactly what he's doing. Even if he takes a 2 minute minor against a soft player like Dach so be it. He'll draw more penalties than he takes anyway.


The shitbirds like Jackass are going to shit no matter what. It's what they do. Did Angus Crookshank do anything to deserve getting attacked in that rookie tournament?

Dach isn't a star player, but his team views him as a core piece, their meat heads will retaliate if something happens to him, especially when one of their big acquisitions in the offseason got hurt in a freak knee on knee a few days earlier. If Greig does what he's doing, with zero self awareness (which thankfully he's showing a lot of self-awareness), our stars are going to be get targeted more frequently.

I don't disagree with that, but players have to show some awareness, especially in situations like this: the Habs, an already injury-plagued team, recently lost a big acquisition and now have to worry about another core piece getting hurt.

I agree the game happens fast, and crap will happen. I don't think Greig intended on getting Dach late, and am happy he answered the bell just how other players do when they unintentionally 'get' another guy.

At the end of an epic shift too

You are making a good case for the deterrent value of good fighters. Although players like Greig dont seem deterred.

 

[HSF]

i get the reponse from MTL. Its like if Norris got hit like that we would be pissed

Sens should just be ready to respond if they want to play like that which I think they should

 

[Daffy]

good player with a bright future but he's kind of a an arrogant prick in real life.

Alright what's the story behind this

 

[bert]

Alright what's the story behind this

Haha yeah let's hear it.

I liked how Staios talked about how he's better at center.

 

[Bileur]

Not going to lie, the possibility that Ridly was a prick had crossed my mind once or twice. This would not be the world’s most shocking revelation.

He bang your girl?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

If you're going to say this, you need to provide some evidence. Otherwise, nobody is going to believe that a pro hockey player would be arrogant.

Hard to call him arrogant when he's one of the few guys that has shown a bit of self-reflection after a late hit.

 

[Cosmix]

Ridley was known to play on the edge in Junior; it is no surprise that he is doing the same in the NHL. That does not make him a "prick"; however, it does mean that other teams will respond to his edginess and seek retribution. If such retribution results in goons targeting our star players, then either the league must address it quickly and meaningfully or all hell will break loose.

 

[Sensinitis]

he probably refused to sign Daffy's jersey or something and now he's salty

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

lol calling Greig arrogant.. Probably one of the quietest, shyest players on the team.
I suppose Zub is arrogant as well

Zub is an ahole!. Remember when they had the kids on the ice and the little girl asked his name? He replied with My name is Zub. Terrible person. Lol.

 

[Daffy]

lol some of you guys are ridiculous. I also don't give a crap about autographs. Nothing to do with his play on the ice. I'm not going to go full fan boy on every player just because he's a Senator. Some of you are so damn sensitive.

I find being shy often gives this impression to people because we can appear standoffish. Throw some neurodivergence in there and sometimes communication comes off as rude to top it off.

You're the one who's salty when a player wouldn't sign your sweater but you're calling us sensitive?

Lmao did he give you a swirly in high school?

[Burrowsaurus]

Why is everyone upset that some random 22 year old kid may be an asshole in real life?

 

[OD99]

It's not that, it's that he called him out without anything to back it up.

I met him at the Gatineau game, and he was great.
