RupertKBD Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I predicted 6 games, because of the in-person hearing and the precedent set by David Perron, but 5 is more or less fair, IMO. A lot is being made (mostly by Leafs fans) that the Sportsnet Panel all seemsed to think the suspension was too high.....omitting of course that the Toronto Sports Net veteran Bob McKenzie called it "fair".... One reason I can think of for 5 games instead of 6, is that apparently, this limits Reilly's appeal option to a direct appeal to Gary Bettman. I can't say that I like MR's chances if he goes that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rielly needs to understand that getting burned that badly on a breakaway due to refusing to learn how to play his position properly is not acceptable. Toronto needs to take the gift of this suspension and try to make this useless pylon realize that he needs to start playing like an NHLer in his own zone.

If they reduce or keep the 5 games, everyone else might as well appeal their suspensions regardless of length... and NHL better be careful as they could be setting precedent, and every suspension should be reduced then... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapper Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Many moons ago as a young Sapper I remember our RSM welcoming us after graduating our 3's. He said he could forgive nearly any charges and not hold it against you long term .... But God have mercy on the soul.of anyone crying about the punishment after doing the crime. If you aren't soldier.enouh to do the time ... Don'r do the crime Rielly and the laffs complaining tells me everything I need to know about their s of entitlement beliefs and character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regardless of whom the player is, and what team he plays for, that kind of cowardly attacks, just because you don't like the way a player score a goal should be hammered... Cross checking in the face 5 games... Elder missed a check and got 4 games for intensions... and Rome got 4 during the finals (which = 16 games after the thumb of rule during play offs)... If they feel hard done to, take a number and smash him next game... Different story if you jumped a player, who had run or injured your star player... Like Hansen did, when Kadri ran Danny... To think Kadri didn't get a suspension for that hit, while Zad gets 2 games says everything there is to be said about the DPOS..... rotten to the core and the reason this piece of shit is appealing.

Any kind of hit after a goal should be 20 games automatically in my book. Trying to find the positive side here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Suspensions in the nhl should be based on intent and injury should be multipliers. accidental? 1-2 game depending on how accidental and careless. if injured multiple that by 2 so 2-4 if causing injury. Intentional? 5 minimum and go up base on how malicious, if premeditated etc again injury x2 repeat offender x2 it’ll stack up real fast for repeat offender and make them think twice. Ppl will debate whether it’s intentional or not.. but a lot of the time it’s pretty obvious.. if you jump into the hit.. chicken wing someone in the head swing a stick etc vs hitting someone and then the momentum cause ur feet to leave the ice.. you lowered your shoulder but the guy was low to the ice.. or your stick ride up on someone else’s stick. Reilly cross check was intentional he can hit him in the ribs drop the glove for a fight etc etc but he choose to cross check him in the face can easily break someone’s jaw. Whether or not he’s injured shouldn’t factor in on the base suspension so 5 games is fair. beside suspending Reilly is a blessing in disguise for the leaf.. they are on like a 110point pace over 82 games in the games without Reilly the last couple season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneakystink Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Giving in to this appeal says nothing but it's a slap on the wrist. The intent was there and he should have got more. Until they get serious about these kind of incidents, it will happen again and again. There is no fear in what he did and if he had it in the back of his mind that he could be gone for a quarter of the season, I don't think he would have done it. It's going to take someone becoming a vegetable before they abolish head hunting. That's the sad truth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakystink Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Brad "the RAT" Marchand at it again. Trash like this should be banished from the league.

Elias Pettersson Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The NHL obviously doesn't take the "code" into consideration when dealing out suspensions. And it's actually shocking that Treliving and Shanahan would use that as a justification to cross check someone in the face. Utterly disgusting behaviour by Leaves management... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
