Rielly suspended 5 games -- Appeal Denied

[Ciao]

“I thought [the empty netter] was ridiculous, honestly. I’m on Rielly’s side on this one. Obviously it was an accident to cross-check him in the face. I don’t think there’s any intent there, but you’re absolutely going to be aware of that. It was a young kid with not very much experience in the league. Maybe he needs some perspective there not to do that.”

“Also, you’re not going to turn away and go to the bench when a guy takes a slap shot in your crease like that. There was some frustration with losing the game and giving up an empty netter anyway. There’s just certain things in the game where you’ve signed up for the logo you wear on the front. And you don’t want to be disrespected like that.”

Was that Luke or Brayden Schenn?

I heard an interview with Brayden who said something to that effect when St. Louis was in Toronto to play the Leafs this week.

That one was Luke, they asked a bunch of Preds what they thought of the incident.

I bet Gary Bet99man is spinning in his ivory tower office collecting those 30mils laughing it up. Reading social media and HFBoards thinking how he can screw the team that repeatedly made him cry watery tears when attending Toronto in those early days.

Cry on Gary cry on

I bet he has a wheel of misfortune with our players faces on the and fines and things like that. Spinning it up right now I bet, what a crook

Brayden weighed in too.

 

[BallardEra]

Everyone spam the public NHL email. Send Attention crooked commish Gary. Bett99man. Let my people play. -Toronto

Rielly gonna show up with Crosby so Bettman won't have a choice but to take a game or two off.

I honestly don't think the Leafs care as much about reducing the games. They are pissed about the process.

Even with an in-person it should have been done Monday. NHL announces in-person Saturday night or Sunday morning, Rielly gets on the MLSE jet an hour later and has that meeting at Monday at 9am, Press Release at 12pm. Truth is DoPS wanted this circus so they made it the min for an in-person and then had a slow as f*** process to get as much attention as possible. Leaked it for even more attention.

San Jose vs Arizona it would have been announced Sunday Morning, and below the in-person threshold to save everyone's time

Then finding out via media leak an hour before a game is just garbage. If it wasn't for the leak when were they announcing Wednesday night?

Need Gary to at least chew out Parros for the process and leak, if the games stay the same.

I love this guy. He may end up my new temporary fav Leaf.

 

[Peasy]

I'm perfectly fine with Rielly being given the 5 games, but I would LOVE to see Bettman reduce it in any way just to see the complete meltdowns that would happen.

So you stay with Bettman who in 25+ years as commish hired his 1st Toronto ref in NHL in 2022 since he inherited Wes after Jacobs hired him .. da league is a joke .. fyi da best ref in past 25 years in hockey (as per O and A ratings) (whose dad was a leaf season ticket holder so full disclosure) never made it past ref qualifying school where top 8-10 refs audition for new nhl jobs .. it is my understanding that over 30 G refs have made it to audition stage school but NOT a single one was ever hired by league til 2022 .. if this is your definition of honesty then -- oh well .. it is a statistical impossibility that biggest league in world da G with BY FAR which produces da most refs in world would not produce 1 single new NHL ref in over 25 years .. meanwhile Boston has quite a few .. doesn't it seem quite ridiculous that Boston has produced over 10 NHL refs since Bettman took charge and Toronto has produced 1 (in 2022) .. oh well i guess it is par for da course as NO Canadian team has won a Cup (not including Bettman' 1st 6 months when he was in a transitional role) since Bettman took over .. AGAIN another near statistical impossibility .. it is rather strange how NO one reports da truth .. da whole thing STINKS and people in hockey all know it .. Leaf mgmt ie Shanny is well aware of what is going on in NYC and why he wanted OUT asap

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

Not surprised... An actual man with a spine and a pair says the truth.

How the hell can Tavares who has Vet presence as well not come out with comments like this?

Give 44 or 34 your C patch. Leader my ass.

JFC...

Also...

All those crying about it are GenZ Apple goggle soyboys who would've loved Dubas.

I give Ottawa fans a pass here, Its their team. Their player. Team loyalty is a good thing, i'll never over look that.

But for the other fans from the other 31 Teams... Have a good look in the mirror.
Yes 31.

Cause that includes the soft crybaby Leafs fake "fans" who are probably all MLSE employees promoting a culture of kindergarten participation trophy estrogen coddle culture instead of building an ACTUAL hockey club. Same ones who didn't want Kadri cause he stood up for our softest player in history = Marner taking an elbow from a Bruin and acting shocked with tears, instead of pushing back in playoffs.

Anyways, Lets hope Bettman and League reduce it.

I'm glad this is getting spotlight. I hope Parros is fired and lost all his money gambling so we can see him destitute and in the food bank line via Social Media.

Horrible hire for the safety of your league. Hire a non NHL guy with a law degree FFS

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Wonder how long these meetings are.

 

[Gilmour1996]

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

Completely agree with your reply to my tongue-in-cheek post, lol! I was originally going to add to the end of my post "certainly not going to raid the NHL for these positions...no impartial men to hire from there!"

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Any updates?

 

[Gilmour1996]

Would have thought Parros would have leaked the meeting transcript to Kevin Weekes by now.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUU

No one needs to make this stuff up .. da facts speak for themselves .. bottom line until Jacobs gives up his chairman role this league is f*cked .. i blame tannebaum/molson/dolan for not standing up to da bully and his 10 gang of thugs/poor team owners .. at some point things will get ugly

 

[Leaf4Life79]

The meeting was 4 hours ago.....I can't find any info

 

[wingman75]

The outcome of the meeting should be a reduction to 2 games, which everyone (other than idiot Sens fans and general Leafs haters) would feel was appropriate AND the announcement of the firing of the clearly corrupt Parros and his cronies.

 

[GoonieFace]

If there’s one thing we learned from this, it’s that the Leafs players are more concerned about the mesh getting injured as opposed to one of their teammates.

 

[Jmo89]

Will Bettman leak his decision to the media before informing the Leafs, like Parros?

Probably not. He wont ever get any likes. They will do it during prime time though.

 

[Strangle]

No announcement yet?

Can someone with Twitter check on Kevin weekes?

Honestly, expecting something like that from JT would be like expecting a snail to do a backflip
