That's a different discussion though. If you want to multiply all suspensions by two starting next year, or whatever it is, ok, but in the meantime the Leafs can't be operating in their own more severe system of adjudication.

Fine that he upheld it. What the hell took so long?

next time the leafs get close on an empty net goal I want that player to turn over his stick and cue-shot it in the net and the skate away. If by Bettman's statement the slapshot is irrelevant then doing a pool shot into an empty net would be. If the opposing player cross-check our player it should be automatic 5 games and no appeal as Gary already set the precedent
This league is a joke cause of Gary. It will always be a minor league in terms of the big 4.

Not unexpected or surprising. Leafs need to pull of the rare feat of them beating Arizona to go 5-0 and have no skin off our nose.
He was never going to get it reduced. The corruption goes well beyond Parros.

Gary is a joke, but this has nothing to do with that. It’s dumb players who think it’s ok to hit a player up high with their stick. Rielly is dumb and he cost himself a big chunk of change for his stupidity. Yea, the slapshot is irrelevant. Don’t go high with your stick because you feel like your team got disrespected.
he didn't go high the guy leaned back to duck out of the way and Reilly stick got him high. Grieg mans up when he sees Reilly coming that cross-check is in the shoulder pad

Agree with this 100% percent and after the cue shot the players shoukd ride his stick to centre ice like a cowboy.
if Bettman wants a clown league who are we to argue
I guess next time Reilly should go for the ribs like players have done to Matthews……….that will fix things…….

As expected. You’re welcome for the publicity NHL and f*** us again later please. Should we make an appointment?
Honestly there is no upside save for making us feel better but I’d love to see it lol

Or better yet maybe Reeves should have gone after him and pommeled him. I guess multiple hard Reeves rights to the head would have been much gentler then a half assed hit to the head with his stick..
im all for player safety but this is not about that, it’s about the optics of what happened not the severity of the hit

not surprised, 5 seemed like a reasonable number.
He'll be back Thursday, Team goes 5-0, no harm done.

Yep, stick work is stick work. If you’re going to do something like this, at least make it for a worthwhile cause, like Knies getting dummied or Lily getting slewfooted.

Next cross checking penalty leading to a suspension of any sort will be in the biggest F*cking spotlight… Such inconsistency.
You set the bar Parros, you ugly POS.
Bettman you backed up the cu*k who lost brain cells years ago lying on the ice in his proper position as a bottom.
Let’s see what you guys do next. Prove to the league and the world you guys are chicken shits.
I’m glad there’s ample noise on this one.
These corrupt jerks need to feel the heat and earn their paychecks

Of course they won't. And nothing will change. We will continue to play by a different set of rules than the rest of the NHL.

I love Rielly and it was really nice to see someone on this team be visibly mad that we lost a game... and this is the right decision. I know he's a first timer, but he hit a guy above the shoulders with his stick long after scoring a goal in a game that was over. He earned at least five games for that and we've gotten (at least) four wins while he's out.
Honestly, that's kind of a win-win. We showed emotion, we would've taken serious flak for not doing a thing, and we stepped up big time in his absence. I wonder if somehow this galvanized us (cue the six game slide).
