Rielly has been offered an in person hearing, meaning he can be suspended for 6 or more games. Perron received a 6 game suspension for a similar play about 1 month ago.

6-10

If there is any level consistency it would at the very least match the Perron one.

Add a game or 2 given it was in the last minute of the game and not a hockey play at all

10

An assault.

 

[Forge]

Going 4

Voted six. Precedent set with Perron. Should really be identical to given both were cross checks that didn't cause serious injury despite the idiocy of the actions. So I'll be surprised if it's more then that, unless they're message sending and give him ten or something wild, but that be excessive. Got to think Rielly will at least try and take this to appeals "court" no matter the outcome.

Guessing 4-5? No idea though because the NHL makes no sense in these decisions.

 

[Play]

A game, max

 

[dirtydanglez]

4 games

 

[NyQuil]

3-4 games.

 

[Tuggy]

5 games.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

5 and max fine.

 

[A1LeafNation]

As many as this crosscheck...

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I was on 5, but that was when I thought he was aiming head. But once I had a better look, its clear it rode up Grieg's arm and Rielly was aiming chest.

Sure but the poll is about what we think and not what are the mitigating circumstances.
It’s going to be six games.

So your guess, for the poll, is less than five games? The poll is about our guess what the league will suspend Reilly isn’t?

I voted 2

 

[Johnny Rifle]

I’m predicting the Wheel of JusticeTM lands on six games.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Because he's a first time idiot, I'll say they're lenient and go 5

Doesn't "in person" hearings means 5+ games automatically?

Why when the hearing is in person? Two makes absolutely no sense. That might be what you personally believe is fair but the poll isn’t asking that. It’s asking what you think the league will come up with. Do you honestly believe, knowing it’s an in person hearing, the league will suspend for only two games?

Nope. Just means to option is there for over five. But common sense says six.

no. they cant suspend more than 5 without an in person hearing, so it opens up the possibility of a longer suspension.

kulikov had an in-person hearing for taking seguin out for 2-4 weeks and only got 4 games.

I'm thinking they scheduled the in person, thinking he targeted head, once they see no intent to get head, I think it drops to 2 or 3

 

[Bouboumaster]

Cross check to the face after the fact that the game was stopped, should be 5 games at the very least

Dude tried to do a remake of Hunter/Turgeon there

Might happen but highly likely it’s six games. Dhillon and Zadorov just got 3 and 2 games for hits during play where they both clearly accidentally contacted the head. Reilly cross checked a guy in the head way after the play was over. Imo it’s six games.

If you have a min, take another look. It's easy to miss but Rielly is aiming about 3 inches higher than center chest. The stick rides up Grieg's arm and into his neck.
So in this instance intent matters IMO
