The spins on the Rielly hit this morning are just comical in Leaf Nation. Ranges from shouldn't get any discipline to maybe a fine. Very few are talking games and those that are,,,,they're claiming it will be benificial in sending a message to the team as a whole. Thanks for my morning laugh.

The best comment i've read was " Rielly was upset he took a slapshot at the Leafs best goaltender,,, the empty net"

What was he thinking! he should be gone for at least 10! he knew what he was doing and it is as bad of a headshot as you are going to see. Compare that to what Gally did which was also stupid and bad to me this is much worse no way they can call this a ''hockey play''

More akin to what David Perron did (6 games) albeit Jacob Trouba got off with 0 games for something similar to Perron. I've also seen comparables thrown out to what Dale Hunter did to Pierre Turgeon (21 games) or what Scheifele did to Evans (4 playoff games)... both premeditated hits to the head after the whistle that were out of spite for a goal being scored against your team.
My guess is that they give him 5 games. I personally would be closer to you Ramcharger and think he should be given 8-10... no place for this in hockey.

Absolutely a suspendable hit. Every bit as bad as Gally's - probably worse. At the last part of last nights broadcast they showed a sideways angle that clearly showed the viciousness and direct and hard contact of the stick being driven into the neck area of the player. I know all about the code, and in old time hockey that slapshot is kind of seen as showmanship, but in an era of Michigan's, dancing after overtime goals, salutes - it is no longer acceptable to exact retribution. Should be 8 games at least. (I have no faith that that will be the case - gonna be interesting to see what punishment is meted out)

On a separate note, saw the play where Evans was tagged for 4 minutes for high-sticking... abysmal call. You can see Pavelski identify the stick and then duck his head into the stick on purpose to draw a call. I think that penalty should have been wiped off the board, or Pavelski should have been given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for diving. Sad that he duped the refs, lost a lot of respect for him there.

Maybe they should also look at Keefe's bushleague move of sending out Reaves in the last 6 seconds of the game. Everybody knows what he was instructed to do. Another classless move by a classless organization.

A penalty 6 seconds into the game for something that happens dozens of times each and every game followed by some pretty obvious missed calls throughout. Game management at it's best.

Marty biron thinks he will get a fine , no suspension
I dunno , you use your stick , to a guys head , after the play is over you get suspended . I don’t care if you have no priors .
A Stick is for playing hockey .
Dale hunter was suspended for 21 games
The league needs to clamp down on this unnecessary 💩

Suspend him 15 games The world in general is going to h e l l . And The orange Jesus in the USA hopes the market tanks and would encourage Russia to attack nato allies - and people are fine with this.

Boston Bruins defenceman Matt Grzelcyk has been fined $5,000 for spearing the Capitals’ Max Pacioretty, the league announced on Sunday.“The incident occurred at 18:08 of the first period. Grzelcyk was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for spearing,” said the NHL’s Department of Player Safety in a statement.

So,,,, Reaves thinks it's appropriate for somebody to cross check a guy in the head for showboating and his coach thinks the League has it out for the Leafs. Two of the most ridiculous comments i've heard this year. Not surprised it's comming from that city,,,,center of the universe.

Morgan Rielly’s in-person hearing has been changed to a virtual hearing due to inclement weather in New York.

I could understand them giving the same or more but not less. To me, the hit most akin to this would have been Hunter on Turgeon, which was 21 games...

According to Keefe the League is anti Toronto.
