Toronto’s Morgan Rielly has been offered an in-person hearing for cross-checking Ottawa’s Ridly Greig. Date and time TBD.

good lord, the leafs are so mentally soft. if you were going to do something like this, do it when it mattered. what a sorry bunch.
No He does not! Way to go Morgan! Ottawa has become a a cornucopia of douche bags! That seems to be their goal to close out the lost season...Kchuck, ,Cough, cough....,<cough>
i can see why youd have this attitude, but nothing the Sens do even matters, and nobody gets it.
If I had a breakaway on an empty net against the Leaves, I would have done the same damn thing. Anytime a team beats the Leaves and adds a little gusto, that's fine by me. Come to think of it, I would have done the same vs Ottawa. The head hit was uncalled for.
I guess I just think they are both dbags for this, but I don't think the crosscheck to the face was necessary.
A Fine - maybe. Suspension? Naa, the nhl wouldn't do that.
Don't let them score the goal if you don't like how Greig hotdogged it in there. These players are professionals. If what the other team does hurts your feelings, then prevent the other team from doing it.
Where are the at least six games? That was so scumbagish. Unbelievable.
If you get to score an empty netter, it is entirely on the other team, so slap shot, backwards and between the legs... the other team was down, chose to pull the goalie, meh; they should do better. This isn't happening in a 6-2 or 8-3 game where it is already completely out of hand.
After Perron's suspension (though off target, at least it was in response to something real) as an example, this bush league act deserves at least 6 games.
This is absolutely, toddler tantrum behavior and dangerous for the receiving player. No excuse.
As an aside, @ Paul - not a complaint, just letting you know... On the rare occasion that I post a comment, it takes at least 3 attempts to log in, typically more.
Please keep up with your fantastic work here at KK!! You are much appreciated.
5 games- please.
I think a one game suspension would be appropriate.
What makes the goal so infuriating? Is a slapshot that much more offensive than wrist shot from center ice? You pull the goalie, you may face the consequences. In reality, Ottawa fans should be more offended. A slapshot has a slightly higher chance of missing the net than a tap in.
Maybe Morgan should have gone after his teammates for putting them in that position against Ottawa.
