I see that the moderating on this forum mirrors that of Parros and the DOPS. Hilarious what they are banning posters for in the main board Morgan thread

In-person hearing is not mandatory. The players union (NHLPA) negotiated the right that any player (union member) must be offered the option of a in-person hearing before issuing a suspension of 6+ games.
The player/union can decline the in-person hearing and do it online instead if they choose.

Well worth every game suspended. Would recommend to friends.
Use the report button. Cite the rule you feel is being broken. Don't do it maliciously. And it will be attended to.
So I missed the game Saturday, usually watch it with the family, but whatever reason didn't. This afternoon I'm mumbling about how many games will Reilly get, my 11 year old son asked what do I mean. So I say, come here, watch this. Set the scene for the 30s clip. Empty net, down one, 10s left, clean break. I roll it to the slapper and pause it.
Me: "What do you see there with this?"
Him: *giggling* "He slapped it"
Me: "what do you think happens next?"
Him: *still giggling* "Someone should hit him"
So I roll it and he laughs his head off from there. Now to be fair, I do tell him that you don't want to get a stick up in a head there, you should punch him.
But the point being, without really any prompting, my 11y old son (who plays) knows that it's wrong. Frankly, if it happened in one of his games I'd expect someone to do something. It's a punk ass move that deserves a punch in the face.
Anyone saying otherwise is wrong, straight up. I don't think he meant to get head, but he did, and oh well, take 5 gamer, 100%.

The fact is, most fans do not watch hockey much. They don't invest in the time to watch hockey games, other than highlights. So they just talk and talk based on a couple of highlights and form their own opinion without regard to the history of how this game is played (and in the case of violence, the changing history of how the game is evolving).
From our perspective, we watched Florida and Tampa going headhunting our players and put them into concussion and bloody faces without getting any suspension, whereas Rielly hardly injured the player and got 5. The frustrating part is, the intent to injure was certainly there in what Bennett and Tkachuk and Kucherov did, but I guess they are so adept at cheapshots that they disguised them in a way that were not suspendible while causing a greater damage to the opposition players. (I rewatched how Kucherov went into Rielly as if he was punching his gloves onto Rielly's face while holding his stick, which was likely what caused Rielly's bloody face). Meanwhile, when guys like Kadri, Bunting, and now Rielly did these acts, they did them with no subtle sneakiness (maybe the Leafs need to take lessons in cheapshots and diving like the way soccer players do) and their highlights then get exponentially scrutinized in the aftermath because they happened in Toronto (all the angst surrounding Kadri and Bunting died after they moved to Colorado/Calgary/Carolina, where they were suddenly transformed from dirtiest players in the world to clean players).
So if the league is really serious in getting rid off headshots and violence, suspend everything at all times, in regular season and playoffs. If people are so concerned about hockey players' healths, why only concerned about regular season games and not playoffs? I'm sure every Leaf fan is all for it as it would only help the Leafs' playoff chances. Unfortunately, this is not truly the case, and become an excuse for the league to institute biases whenever they like.

Excellent if he can comprehend that I’m sure Greig knows the results of that move
Hockey is very quickly becoming football, gezzer lifts his arm so the cross check ends up in his head then dives and sells it like a whiney football player trying to win a penalty

I have no problem with the 5 games. I have a problem with worse plays not even getting a penalty.

The huge inconsistency that the DoPS shows, week in week out, is appaling and NOT befititng of a professional league. At all. Show some damn uniformity in the suspensions dished out and most (if not all) fans will be a lot happier with their players being suspended.

I though he would get a lot more , but deserved 3tops. So im happy. And how Ottawa fans tries to paint Rielly as the douchiest douch that ever douched is realy fun . And that they treat that Peer Gynt wannabee as the best thing thats ever happend to them is just sad.
The good thing is that this might fuel leafs to crush Ottawa next season, if any of the players from this team are left.

Ole George still has PTSD of Orr's fist coming for his chin on a nightly basis. What can you do.

Eliminate DoPS hearings and have an automatic suspension for each infraction.

I think this is how everyone should feel. Five games is appropriate for what Rielly did. The one that really grinds me is Gallagher on Pelech. Gallagher should have gotten a massive suspension for that flying elbow. As in a 20 game suspension. He could have potentially ended Pelech's career and impacted his quality of life. A five game suspension for that recklessness was an atrocious decision.

I thought the suspension is fair. Was expecting 6. Not sure if it's been posted but I posted these clips on the main board to try to shut some people up about the Leafs getting off easy.

Amazing how incredibly easy Sens fans become unhinged.
Almost feel sorry for them with their uncontrollable weeping.

No doubt and @BertCorbeauThis being the highlight of their season says it all
for spoiling some harmless fun What a joke of a league run by Jacobs .. Bruins get $5k from a DIRECT cross check to head maybe because Gallagher does not dive like a baby .. Leafs take DIRECT head shots with full force and $5k fines .. Rielly takes a full force shot to upper arm and shoulder and a love tap by time it rises to head and guy does a full on "DeBrusk" .. complete embarrassment but it is exactly how cheapskate Jacobs wants it to be .. Bettman likes his job so he does what he is told to do .. Parros does da deed .. nothing has changed since Shanny did role many years back .. nothing

A well earned 5 games, though excessive IMO. The response wasn't far fetched. If you are going to get five games, this is one instance where it was warranted because at least his heart is in the right place. A five game suspension is far better than no response. This is the nature of competitive pro hockey, like it or not.
This Leaf team continues to be excruciatingly soft. Soft playoffs team don't last long. I've said my piece numerous times, as have so many others, of this GM couldn't fix it, it must mean MLSE wants this.
Morgan is a strong guy. He isn't a fighter, but he didn't need to use his stick.
In the end, the best thing that can happen to this team is to miss the playoffs. If they would have before the start of this season we may have finally have seen the movement of Marner or someone else.
They have some wildcards for the playoffs because I do believe Bert, Domi and Reaves do elevate their game when the animosity increases. That said, it will be difficult to see a team put together as well as last years playoff team was.
