How many games will Morgan Reilly be suspended for?

[Fatass]

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

And Hunter got 21 games and it wasn’t a cross check to the head. What Reilly did could have resulted in really serious injury to Greig. And if it was like the Moore injury Reilly might be looking at a very long suspension.

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

His arm is already at neck level.

It’s not at chest height, the reason it hits his hand is because Grieg raises his arm belatedly to defend his neck/head area.

Take another look.

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 swear I saw a rule or something today but no biggie, not really important unless you're a Leafs fan... But seeing as the Leafs only have 2 more ROW than Ottawa (and Sens have 2 games in hand), I think the Sens might catch them, which would be the ultimate "add insult to injury"

Does it matter where Reilly was targeting though? He contacted the head with a cross check five seconds after the whistle. And while the other guy wasn’t looking because he’d just scored and was skating to his bench. Really Reilly is fortunate the suspension isn’t longer than six.
imagine the can of worms the league would open if they don’t really punish Reilly here. Any player who celebrates a goal that the other team finds disrespectful would be a target for attack.

5-6 to match the Zub crosscheck.

Look at Rielly's right hand, its easier to see it's aimed just below the shoulder crest, then as Grieg tries to block it, it creates the perfect angle to direct it into his neck.

Definitely should have aimed a lot lower if he didn’t want to risk a head shot.

It‘a a cross check to the face. It’s gonna cost him some games.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

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

Wishful thinking.

 

[Fatass]

Wishful thinking.

I think some posters aren’t understanding the poll and are voting for how “they” feel and not for what “the league” will actually do.

oh no doubt, maybe I am guessing low, but that more reflects the change in opinion on how severe I originally thought it was.
I had thought he went over and targeted his neck, but still he did end up hitting his neck, after the play so even 3 may be wishful thinking.

duh, I just got it lol changed my vote

a recent somewhat comparable hit got 6 games. wisdom of the crowd currently has it at 5 games. sounds like there was a vocal minority in the dops that didnt think this should be in person hearing, which suggests they were thinking less than 6 games. i think 2-3 games is as unlikely as 7+ games.

yup, anything other than 4, 5 or 6 will surprise me

The leafs are so deep on D they will barely miss Reilly.

This has to be sarcasm, no? Reilly is one of the best D in the league. He will be greatly missed.

 

[abo9]

He'll be suspended until the end of the year including playoffs.

The city of Toronto will break into riots and attack Gary Bettman.

/s

In an odd way, missing Rielly will help.
Ya see the Leafs are a very skilled team and the rest of the team kinda coasts because the skill does well enough.
Without Rielly, its going to mean the WHOLE team will have to give 100%.
With that in mind, I think they will do ok without Rielly for a bit.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

As many as this crosscheck...

Two wrongs don't make a right. Reilly deserves a suspension. Period.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Should be one, will be 3

 

[cyris]

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

No. In person means it can be 6+ it doesn’t mean it has to be.

But it’s pretty rare for an in person hearing to result in less than 5 games.

 

[authentic]

A game, max

That’s what it should be. Definitely will be atleast 5, probably 6.
