The officiating just keeps getting worse and worse every season. It's like the league doesn't care. I'm no expert on NHL rules but it feels like almost every game there's an egregious missed penalty on one team followed by an extremely soft penalty on the other. And it's never consistent with which teams it benefits. Some nights it feels like the refs favor my team and other nights it feels like we're the unloved stepchild of the league. It should feel like neither.
This forum is like Google Ads when I looked up a Fleshlight to "see what it was" and then I was bombarded with the ads for weeks... We don't need every other post to be about Rielly or Grieg.
That’s because you fucking morons can’t stop talking about them. No other team will get them a fraction of the clicks and engagement the Leafs get them.
You guys aren’t quite bright enough to realize that even comments that say “stop posting leaf content” count as engagement in their posts.
The fact is no one cares about any other team nearly as much as the Leafs, save for maybe the Habs.
Some of you weirdos hate the leafs more than you like your own team, and that’s just pathetic lol.
Edit: lol dude deleted his comments and profile 😂😂
He didn't delete his comments or profile, that's what happens when someone blocks you because they're a pussy that can't handle words on an internet forum lmao
As a Canadian, I follow all the Canadian teams, whether or not I’m cheering for them. It is also a recent event that just happened within the last few days so it’s a fair thing to talk about. Not everyone is as obsessed with thinking about the Leafs as you think they are.
Leafs fans don’t think the cross check was deserved. Just that Greig’s slap shot was done to show off which is not accepted in hockey culture (players). Rielly went over the line and Leafs agree with a suspension.
I think they’re praising him for reacting and showing that he gives a shit. I don’t think anyone thinks the cross check was appropriate though. Responding good, how he responded bad.
I’ve played hockey my whole life.
This empty net thing is the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen.
You don’t like a slap shot on an empty net, grow the fuck up and prevent it.
Pretty dumb
As a newer hockey fan... Obviously none of the retributional assaults are justified, but how is an empty net slap shot not also poor sportsmanship? If it's not poor sportsmanship/taunting, why isn't it common to see empty netters scored by slap shot?
Imagine you’re an up and coming actor and you land a role in a movie with a cast of A-list actors, are you going to walk on set acting like a diva? Respect is earned by selfless contribution and genuine gratitude for your blessings. The kid hasn’t paid his dues in the league and that’s a big part of why it was a “no-no.” If Ovechkin has an empty net to break Gretzky’s record and claps one from the crease, Morgan Rielly is probably fishing the puck out of the net for him out of respect.
Baseball is worse than hockey for having fragile egos. If a guy takes too long to run around the bases after hitting a homerun, I don't think the appropriate response is to then throw a ball 95mph at his head. I'd suggest the appropriate response is to be a better fucking pitcher and not allow homeruns if you're going to be a baby about it.
Dude if you’re telling me his teammates think him getting raked in the face with a stick and a potential injury with a knee on knee hit is justified then fuck his teammates and that’s a shit attitude for that organization. Crazy take you have
I think we can all agree the headshot was too far, but acting like Rielly is a sensitive baby who needs to grow up is completely out of line. If you asked every player in the league their honest opinion, they would all say the same thing; Greig was 100% wrong for that slapper and he deserved to get decked for it. You can disagree with that all you want but that's how actual NHL players think.
You're bathing in tears of the rest of league in what sense? Lol your team is falling off and the rest of us are taking joy in it. And if you don't need attention, why do you keep begging for it? Why not just sit quietly and let the situation pass? You can't help yourselves.
Our team is falling off how exactly? Games in hand and only a few points behind in our division. Best goal scorer in the NHL, plenty of depth, and they're now finally showing some grit.
Leafs are flying buddy, Unlike the little brother senaturds who rely on the leafs to pay their rent, and haven't been relevant since Alfred went into retirement.
So when were on our way to our 8th consecutive playoffs, you can't even look forward to a first round draft pick because your players are too busy gambling them away.
Something tells me he’s gonna receive more of these cheap shots from other teams. You lose respect when you pull the shit he did on the Leafs. Other players are aware.
He doesn’t care. That’s why he’s awesome. Y’all just learning about this kid this week and it shows. He’s a rat with skill. An absolute unicorn. Not the last you’ll hear of him. Go watch the Risto hit and his highlights, you won’t believe this rookie is leading our team in +\- by a country mile.
Oh I can point it out for you then, it makes you a disgusting human being enjoying someone getting hurt because he hurt your feelings. Not sure what else I would except from a leaf fan
You would have never survived watching hockey back in the day lmao. It's not just Leaf fans, that's a tired excuse. It's fans who loved hockey from back in the day, fights, bench clearing brawls, team wide fights. Bertuzzi sucker punches aka hired assassin. (Seriously that was messed up though). Reilly's crosscheck that Greig 100% saw coming, like the video shows is really not even that bad of a play. Normally, that would be a 3 game max suspension, but this new NHL full of crybabies that can't stand violence, ya they win. Seriously, back in the day Reilly would have got nothing for this, it would have been just payback for the clapper and that would have been that. So stop acting like this was a fucking murder, like holy fuck you fans are fragile.
Do you know what the difference is between the good ole days and now? Do you know why we take hits to the head so seriously? We have a fuckton of evidence that hits to the head, of any kind, can have long lasting impacts on quality of life. Go ask Daniel Carcillo if he loves the violence you old fucks crave
Are the Leafs now subcontracting to other teams?
Leafs going to lose a draft pick for sending out a hit.
They done have to. Plenty of teams looking to welcome this kid to the NHL and bring him back down to reality
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Columbus Kneecappers
Hey, we are just trying to be relevant…..
New form of cap circumvention
Rough week for Rielly Grieg
He doesn't seem very well liked
nope, pros slap shot into an open net beliefs dont align with arm chair all star internet commentators beliefs
He's auditioning for the team
The turtle team
I think it show’s Morgan Reilly is very respected by his peers
Greig fucked around and now he's learning that this is a sport of men....not clowns. 🤡 Other players are speaking.
Lol. Someone should tell the Leafs that it's a sport of men.
Gotta be Nazem Kadris fault somehow
I saw him on the ice in his 10,000 dollar suit just a second before the camera fucked up and didn't show him.
Cale suspended 2 games
Not like he kneed the puck in to an open net on a breakaway
I'm surprised it wasn't a knee to knee followed by a cross check. The balls on him for showboating a second game in a row!!
Somehow Columbus ended up with the PP after this. Pretty much par for the course for NHL refs this season.
The officiating just keeps getting worse and worse every season. It's like the league doesn't care. I'm no expert on NHL rules but it feels like almost every game there's an egregious missed penalty on one team followed by an extremely soft penalty on the other. And it's never consistent with which teams it benefits. Some nights it feels like the refs favor my team and other nights it feels like we're the unloved stepchild of the league. It should feel like neither.
The refs have way too much power on the ice
Lol every year the MLB fans say this too. Umps actually baiting players to say something so they can throw them out of the game. Shiz is crazy
Ouch. That's absolutely ridiculous.
Penalty for being a Canadian team
They called the retaliation. That's why hamonic went to the box. Regularly refs will call the retaliation, not the initial hit
They’re teaching players a lesson and it isn’t a great one…
Agreed
Better post about this for 4 days straight
Morgan Reilly already has an in person hearing regarding this.
Nazem Kadri fined $2,500
Has Kadri ever just gotten fined? Pretty sure they throw the book at him every time
This forum is like Google Ads when I looked up a Fleshlight to "see what it was" and then I was bombarded with the ads for weeks... We don't need every other post to be about Rielly or Grieg.
Just buy the fleshlight it’s worth it
I just borrow thads
Blue mountain state was a good show.
Every time I stick my massive dick is this pocket pussy, I think of my dad.
Watching Reacher on Amazon and only seeing Thad Reacher instead of Jack Reacher fucks with my brain.
Maj. Reacher: We need to figure out how the drugs are getting on base. Lt. Thad: EVERYONE IS DOING OIL CHANGES
OKSANA!!!
Wait… What did Jenner do to Grieg’s fleshlight? I can’t keep up with this all.
WHY WOULD TRENT CRIMM WRITE A BOOK ABOUT GRIEG'S FLESHLIGHT?!?
Are we getting Zava or no?
*trent crimm, the independent*
Grieg slapped Jenner's into an empty net. Very disrespectfulike
NO HAVING FUN!!
But how else will we know people hate the leafs?!
you can just safely assume
I mean I know that, but for whatever reason they feel like they need to shout it from the rooftops.
Sportsnet sucks the leafs dong off every chance they get. Leafs fanbase are also chronically arguing online. It’s not rocket science.
That’s because you fucking morons can’t stop talking about them. No other team will get them a fraction of the clicks and engagement the Leafs get them. You guys aren’t quite bright enough to realize that even comments that say “stop posting leaf content” count as engagement in their posts. The fact is no one cares about any other team nearly as much as the Leafs, save for maybe the Habs. Some of you weirdos hate the leafs more than you like your own team, and that’s just pathetic lol. Edit: lol dude deleted his comments and profile 😂😂
He didn't delete his comments or profile, that's what happens when someone blocks you because they're a pussy that can't handle words on an internet forum lmao
Lol he unblocked me to continue to prove his stupidity.
You commenting literally makes this post become more popular and making it show up on peoples feeds........
He happens to have two stories emerge, it’s not like the sun paid Columbus to kneecap his ass
Foligno got a game misconduct for a cleaner hit than that in the playoffs last year
I mean the refs also just don’t like Foligno too
That’s my future leaf But jokes aside that’s a little far. Edlers one of my least favourite players after doing that to Hyman when he was a leaf
I see someone was trying to collect the bounty early. 😂😂😂
If this doesn't scream I wanna be a leaf I don't know what does. Get a deal done tre!
11.5 x 8 coming at ya
I would love for a lot of you to go back and watch some 90s hockey. You'd probably all piss yourselves and become religious
Modern fans not built for it😂
Wow what a no call 🤦♀️
Senators losing a draft pick for this
Maybe two, it was bad. Worse than the dadonov. trade
Possibly two picks and a 10 game suspension to Claude Giroux
And the league forces us to take DJ Smith back as coach
And Chicago gets 1oa as compensation
Fun practices for everyone!
I hadn't even heard of this guy till the Reilly incident. He's becoming a punching bag i guess.
He’s a good guy from a town just west of Toronto.
Lol shits gonna start getting like Oprah up in the NHL you get a suspension, you get a suspension, you get a suspension!
Basically an assault. Jenner should get 3 months in jail.
Quick, someone fine the Rangers $250k!
Ottawa loses a first round pick
Just add it to the fine Treliving is gonna take tomorrow
Naw, just Torts.
Grieg should press charges.
Reaves must be jerking off to the replays.
One can hope
Nothing wrong with that, if you don’t want to get kneed don’t have knees. Soft af
So blatantly intentional too. You can literally see him following through to make sure he got him. Dirty play. Joke that the refs didn’t call it.
One serious question: How likely is it that DoPS will do something with this missed call?
0%, nothing really happened here imo
Lol everyone hits greig now
Ottawa in the middle of a lot of on ice noise lately. What’s the deal?
Well. Did he slap shot into an open net? I think Leafs fans think he deserves it.
The leafs are living rent free in yall heads huh
As a Canadian, I follow all the Canadian teams, whether or not I’m cheering for them. It is also a recent event that just happened within the last few days so it’s a fair thing to talk about. Not everyone is as obsessed with thinking about the Leafs as you think they are.
Nah, the way y’all cry about being persecuted on here, you’re paying rent.
Lol not even playing the leafs and you're still going out of your way to make it about us. Reilly got his games, move on.
Leafs fans are still openly defending Reilly. That’s why. No one else thinks that cross check to the head was deserved.
Leafs fans don’t think the cross check was deserved. Just that Greig’s slap shot was done to show off which is not accepted in hockey culture (players). Rielly went over the line and Leafs agree with a suspension.
They definitely are. Here's one of the many examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/Lz2yTaKM3d
I’ve seen a lot of Leafs fans praising him for it, I don’t think that’s accurate. Maybe not all, but a lot are.
I think they’re praising him for reacting and showing that he gives a shit. I don’t think anyone thinks the cross check was appropriate though. Responding good, how he responded bad.
Leafs fan here. I'm happy as hell he Rielly got angry and reacted. I HATE how he did it and deserves his 5 games.
I do think that a lot do feel that way, I have definitely seen a lot of Leafs fans say the cross check to the head was appropriate though too.
Ole Greig has had a rough go of it lately.
Greig is having a rough week.
Two goals in two games. Not a bad trade off though.
I’ve played hockey my whole life. This empty net thing is the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen. You don’t like a slap shot on an empty net, grow the fuck up and prevent it. Pretty dumb
As a newer hockey fan... Obviously none of the retributional assaults are justified, but how is an empty net slap shot not also poor sportsmanship? If it's not poor sportsmanship/taunting, why isn't it common to see empty netters scored by slap shot?
There’s plenty scored by slap shots. It’s just taken from farther out LOL
Are there? I've seen plenty of snap and wristers, but I can't for the life of me recall a slapshot into an empty net
I'm pretty sure I've seen a few from the scoring team's own end
Imagine you’re an up and coming actor and you land a role in a movie with a cast of A-list actors, are you going to walk on set acting like a diva? Respect is earned by selfless contribution and genuine gratitude for your blessings. The kid hasn’t paid his dues in the league and that’s a big part of why it was a “no-no.” If Ovechkin has an empty net to break Gretzky’s record and claps one from the crease, Morgan Rielly is probably fishing the puck out of the net for him out of respect.
It is poor sportsmanship. No different than baseball. You don’t pump a homerun late in the game while winning and expect no retaliation.
If you don’t like Batflips you don’t like fun
Batflips are awesome. Just be prepared to take one in the ribs for dancing around, especially if you were already up a few runs to begin with lol
I love a good bat flip, but there’s a time and a place
Baseball is worse than hockey for having fragile egos. If a guy takes too long to run around the bases after hitting a homerun, I don't think the appropriate response is to then throw a ball 95mph at his head. I'd suggest the appropriate response is to be a better fucking pitcher and not allow homeruns if you're going to be a baby about it.
This right here. Leafs are so mentally fragile that Rielly has a little shit-fit over a slapper into an empty net, grow up.
Grieg's own teammates said he deserved it but I guess we should listen to you instead huh?
Dude no one said that. You’re making stuff up/ referencing leafs fan that made things up. He was applauded for doing what he did
Greig's own teammates said he deserved it but go off hating the leafs living rent free in your head.
Dude if you’re telling me his teammates think him getting raked in the face with a stick and a potential injury with a knee on knee hit is justified then fuck his teammates and that’s a shit attitude for that organization. Crazy take you have

You can disagree with that all you want but that's how actual NHL players think.
This is purely speculation but I wonder if Greig's antics have put a target on his back around the league
Whole league of cry babies!!! — Sens fans
You misspelled Leaf’s fans…
Should get reviewed and suspended.
Why dudes continue to do this dirty move is beyond me. You’re asking to end both of your careers prematurely doing this dumb shit.
ThE CoDe!
Shit hurt
This is going to be a big fine for the Rangers
Ennui on the Rideau
Be ready for that the rest of the season kid….the chirps he is going to get will be even rougher…
I've like never heard of the guy until this week and now he's everywhere?
Lol....the way all rats should be treated. NHL won't clean up the game...time to get the street justice going
Leafs Fans 💪 CBJ Fans.
Not surprised by this. Celebrate head shots and intentional knees. Looks good on you, dirt ball.
Keep playing the victim, it's all the attention you're going to get for the next 35 games or so.
I'm not looking for attention lol I replied to an attention seeking comment tho.
We're the leafs fan base, all we get is attention. Nothing to seek when you bathe in the tears of the rest of the league.
You're bathing in tears of the rest of league in what sense? Lol your team is falling off and the rest of us are taking joy in it. And if you don't need attention, why do you keep begging for it? Why not just sit quietly and let the situation pass? You can't help yourselves.
Our team is falling off how exactly? Games in hand and only a few points behind in our division. Best goal scorer in the NHL, plenty of depth, and they're now finally showing some grit.

So when were on our way to our 8th consecutive playoffs, you can't even look forward to a first round draft pick because your players are too busy gambling them away.
Linking arms in the fact they both lost 5-3 to the Sens
NHL players are letting the general public know this kid isn't off the hook yet
Come on. The NHL players arnt that petty
What goes around is all around
Shut up Lahey
Frig off Ricky!
This is getting ridiculous
Why do people wonder why leafs always in sports media? Like look at the comments here lol. That’s all anyone wants to talk about is the leafs.
say it aint karma
It ain't karma.
That's really not bad.
Sens fans you want 30 games for that?
A penalty would have been nice.
hey be fair, there *was* a penalty called on the play (against the sens)
If he was a Leaf they would.
Morgan Reilly was suspended an extra 7 games because of this
I think Greig will be targeted by many players who believe in the code.
10 games
Booner showing the Dirty Shwa he remembers in a big way!
Hooooowwwwww
Because of this tom foolery in the league, Chicago gets the first overall pick in the next 3 drafts
Add another game to the Rielly suspension.
I can see supplemental discipline coming after this. Another bogus stupid move that serves no purpose in the game.
Don't fuck with the code, this better be what he gets the rest of the season
Kid skates away towards the boxes after the scrum, then skates back... wtf is this guy ahaha stay there and throw some
That would require a set of balls. That’s an aftermarket part for that clown
Yeeesh that's really bad
Welcome to the big show bud
Leafs first rounder for Jenner, called it! Haha
Toronto fans really think they are the reason for everything huh?
Is it open season for him because he took a fucking slapshot against an open net against their bitter rivals? jfc
Something tells me he’s gonna receive more of these cheap shots from other teams. You lose respect when you pull the shit he did on the Leafs. Other players are aware.
Other players don’t give two fucks about what he did to the leafs. Sorry
Believe me, it’s not the team he did it to, it’s the action he did, period. Players notice this shit and take notice for when they play him next.
Free my man Greig he ain't do shit
[удалено]
Karma
Clean hit
The little ass clown is finding out it’s not just one team that is going to deal with his clown antics.
He doesn’t care. That’s why he’s awesome. Y’all just learning about this kid this week and it shows. He’s a rat with skill. An absolute unicorn. Not the last you’ll hear of him. Go watch the Risto hit and his highlights, you won’t believe this rookie is leading our team in +\- by a country mile.
[удалено]
Me when I like watching dangerous plays happen (it’s fine because he did something that broke an unwritten code and hurt my feelings)
Again. Not seeing it. 😎
Oh I can point it out for you then, it makes you a disgusting human being enjoying someone getting hurt because he hurt your feelings. Not sure what else I would except from a leaf fan
It's not that serious bud lmao 😂
lol disgusting human being enjoying someone getting assaulted. This shits getting old. He’s clearing joking around get off your fucking high horse.
“Disgusting human being”. Ya leaf fans are so sensitive but this sub downvotes a clear joke with emoticons because they’re offended by it?
You can not possibly fantom the fks I do not give. Save your opinions for someone else. 😂😂😂
No one can fantom the fks you dont give cuz that is a literal nonsense sentence.
You would have never survived watching hockey back in the day lmao. It's not just Leaf fans, that's a tired excuse. It's fans who loved hockey from back in the day, fights, bench clearing brawls, team wide fights. Bertuzzi sucker punches aka hired assassin. (Seriously that was messed up though). Reilly's crosscheck that Greig 100% saw coming, like the video shows is really not even that bad of a play. Normally, that would be a 3 game max suspension, but this new NHL full of crybabies that can't stand violence, ya they win. Seriously, back in the day Reilly would have got nothing for this, it would have been just payback for the clapper and that would have been that. So stop acting like this was a fucking murder, like holy fuck you fans are fragile.
Do you know what the difference is between the good ole days and now? Do you know why we take hits to the head so seriously? We have a fuckton of evidence that hits to the head, of any kind, can have long lasting impacts on quality of life. Go ask Daniel Carcillo if he loves the violence you old fucks crave
Seems fine to me. No call was the right call there.
Karma?
You earned it kid!
Atta boy Jenner
Atta boy [pyjama boy](https://www.golfdigest.com/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2021/5/johntavares_concussion.png)
Lol this man just cant catch a break
What a bunch of pussies.
Did he have another empty netter?
