From Reddit

At his current total salary of 9.5mil, prorated over 52 weeks, this represents a 19% reduction in his DAILY income.
So basically, Stamkos didn’t get paid for doing a morning skate...I’m sure he’s SUPER sad.

Nope.

URL works.

Wow were the Leafs flying in the first.

Spoiler: typical NHL link

5K is pocket change for these guys.

If the league thinks an offense is worthy of an official response the punishment should at least be noticeable, otherwise just a waste of energy imo

There are limits to how much they can be fined in the CBA.

I know - but something that’s worth revisiting at the next negotiations, especially if folks on both sides want to get serious about player safety

I think it will be a huge priority.

It will further change the game (less physical, more skating, more playmaking).

I'd still love to know what Rielly did?

What makes you think he did anything?

It's out of character to do something like that unprovoked.
Maybe it's not?

Helped the leafs get to a 3 nothing lead.. didn’t seem to do much. Had some words for Stamkos after the fact

It's out of Rielly's character to provoke - Not sure why you assume Rielly's the one who broke character last night.

He didn't say that.

It was a simple question not a Rielly character assassination.

 

[IBeL34f]

Their only response to the situation so far has been to find out what Rielly did to make Stamkos act in such an uncharacteristic way.

 

[MattySnipes]

Very Marchand-esque from Stamkos. Not only does he stick out the elbow to knock him down but he uses his left foot to sorta "slew foot" him and drop him. Rielly got the double-whammy! Elbow + trip. Nice catch by DoPS. Don't know if Rielly said anything or provoked him in any way, but Stamkos should know better. Seems very mentally fragile, when something isn't going his way he just disappears. I heard Stamkos' name once in the game yesterday until the 3rd period.

Assuming Rielly did something to warrant it seems like a weird way to go about that. You literally said, "There must have been a reason for it"

A better way to phrase it may have been, "Did something happen earlier between the two that would make Stamkos do that?"

Well it was looking like you were going to keep going on about it until someone finally said something - Just trying to help.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

This place some days, wow.

Exactly how I feel today.
