Rielly suspended 5 games -- Appeal Denied

[Mess]

Players get paid per day of the regular season. Not sure how many there are now, used to be 186. First time offenders only lose pay for the games days of the suspension, not every day inbetween. So 5/186 x 7.5 = 200k. Maybe there's 192 days in the regular season now or something

You're spot on. Players are paid on a per day basis and this year from game #1 to game #82 = 192 days of regular season.

5 games days / 192 days x $7.5 mil his AAV/Cap hit = $195,312.50

That is how Frank came up with his #.

Basically confirms what I said before this was announced, and have mentioned in the past. The league is afraid of the optics that they’re biased towards the Leafs, so they overcompensate on this kind of shit.

And this works on discipline on the Leafs and against opponents who commit offenses.

Matthews got 2 games after similar sort of grange from the media.. Spezza got 6 too.

And the higher ups at MLSE are spineless to stand up to it

The DoPS, the refs, the broadcasts, all working so diligently to show they do not have a Leafs bias only to end up having one against them. Insane.

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.

This 100%

I'd like to add the Boston series and we were penalized more than Bruins with Chara who never had a penalty VS us in the playoffs.

Also the 5 PP for Boston back to back vs the Leafs when you can see Hainsey roll his eyes on camera. 5 POWERPLAYS... BACK TO BACK... PLAYOFFS... 1 GOAL ELIMINATION GAME.

NHL IS A JOKE LEAGUE
KADRI GOT SKEWERED to spite leafs.

SHAME

Not buying another Leaf ticket, shirts, jersey, hat, EVER
Hope the arena is empty soon, and Montreal and Ottawa floods our seats.
Raptors only city.

Leafs are CU*Cks of an organization
They don't deserve any of this

 

[KMNRB]

Pretty much captures how ridiculous the DOPS has been to the Leafs.

That Kadri's crosscheck on Debrusk happens during the game, not after a whistle, and he got 5 in the playoffs (that's equivalent to 10 regular games). I think we all owe Kadri an apology for it is not his stupidity but the DOPS' biases that eventually led to losing him for two useless players.

Do you have reading comprehension problems? That still doesn’t answer the poster’s question.

Does anyone know, from a financial perspective, if he loses the 5 games money based on

1. His cap hit of $7.5M
2. His base salary of $5M
3. His total salary of $10M

that was the question. And since it’s likely none of those options, what’s the rationale for forfeiting $195k? Whats the salary being calculated? I get that you might not know the answer, but it’s pretty funny seeing you… ignore the question in an oblivious way.

Well that’s pretty f***ing rude. How about you go f*** yourself? And it was already answered a few comments ago. This is a team board not the mains. There is no need to be a f***ing jackass to each other over a nothing burger. And in case your reading comprehension is shit here is why I posted that:

He asked initially how much Rielly was losing and I posted the number. And yes I can do math I know it didn’t fit any of the numbers he posted. He then asked how that works numerically as if he didn’t believe the number I posted naked and alone and I posted that tweet as verification that the number I posted was accurate. And no I’m not a f***ing accountant for the league I gave him the information I could find. So go f*** yourself and please never talk to me again.

Actually you’re blocked. I went out of my way to find info for a complete stranger and this is how I’m awoken the next day? Ya ok.

 

[Peasy]

Sens poster with power is now peddling conspiracy theories about MLSE and the media getting Rielly's games reduced

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I'm hoping they reduce it a game or two because there was a lot of provocation but I'm not holding my breath. Honestly though I don't mind Rielly getting in extra rest right now because some time off may mean he has more in the tank in April. Also this is great timing for the rest of the D to audition themselves for the playoffs. Silver lining to a bullshit suspension.

I’m sorry. I don’t know why I was so overly rude. That wasn’t okay of me. I understand your explanation.

Doesnt help that the results dops leaked the info out before Toronto and the player heard about it.

That's interesting. So the financial penalty for the suspension could vary based on the timing of the schedule? i.e. a suspension just before a team's 5 day break would cost them more than a stretch with 3 games in 4 nights

 

[All Mod Cons]

Tin foil hat time in Ottawa and around the league. The NHL is so pro-Leafs. It's a conspiracy I tell ya.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Lol, they told a random reporter before the player being suspended and the team?

Pasted from the mainboards thread:

Codes

Yesterday I told my aunt that it looked like she had gotten fat, but instead of talking with me about how to go to the gym and lose the weight, she just cried a lot and now my uncle keeps getting in my face. It's totally true though, she looks like she put on 20 in the last year. Since when is telling the truth against the rules? Ugh, unwritten rules and codes are so stupid.

Honestly, I'm hitting the point in most of my hobbies where I do think it's time to start gatekeeping. Seems like there's a whole lot of people who don't care about passion, team identity, or authentic competition any more. Good on Greig for doing something to piss Rielly off, and good on Rielly for responding. Obviously, you cannot cross-check a man in the face, which is why Rielly is getting suspended. But this is the exact sort of thing that makes SPORTS a compelling entertainment product. People who post garbage about how codes are stupid a) clearly aren't paying attention to the rest of their lives and b) seem hell-bound on ruining hockey or the rest of us.

At no point should cross-checking to the face be okay, but the entire meta discussion surrounding codes should be shown the door. I didn't write the code, I'm just explaining the code, and the code will change with time, but I will defend the code to my dying breath because the game is better with the code than without. Even if it's all made up, which it is, none of this is real life, it makes the game better because it gives the players something to stand for. In a day and age where no one seems to stand for anything, I want my entertainment to stand for something, even if it's pretend.

Wish I didn't watch this. Just made me angrier. Thank you and no thank you

 

[Jmo89]

At least we know that Shanahan and MLSE are the boyscouts of the league while simultaneously being the biggest joke in the league.

People complain about Jacobs but at least he doesn't just roll over like this organization does, and it trickles down to the team.

Even Keefe stepped away from his boyscout persona for this one.

Apparently everyone is mad. They are going to make a big deal out of this.

That was the equivalent of the NHL league office taking a slap shot into the Leafs empty net. They didn’t have the courtesy to communicate to Toronto before talking to Kevin Weekes on a game day?

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Good old day with no salary cap and the league down to 6 teams?

We had a team destined to win multiple cups when we drafted Matthews, we are back to please remove the cap and 26 teams so we can compete...

Yeah I get it, we could win if we overpay for every star in the league and get them here...

Not at all .. game played today is a socialized mediocre game .. i am talking of best on best hockey every single night .. fyi we did not win every year when only da best played .. there was a ton of competition which would also elevate da game .. also best players can makee what they deserve to make like most free market businesses

Love it, but... They are starting to do the same thing to the Raptors now (You can't make this stuff up)

A best of the best league would be pretty good. Top 200 players in the world (10 teams or so). It would be pretty exciting hockey I imagine.

Where are you going to find 10 impartial referees and a commissioner who is honest for a league like that?

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Anyone here who thinks we Leaf fans just want it our way, are absolutely wrong.

I would be fine if Rielly had 10 games suspended. 15 even. 20 works too!!!

Contingent on ; All similar style of crosschecks with a player of similar history were equal.

Seems like similar and slightly worse plays to that = 1 game suspended as precedent thus far.
So i'll be fine with 1. EVEN 2 games for Rielly. Thats double the precedent FFS!

You want it 5x? for a player who was basically a Bing candidate?
Marchand and plenty other rougher players do this crap every night

Crossroads Appeal and precedent here for everyone.
