Point of contact. He was going for the shoulder. But I agree they’ll ignore it and Reilly will get the year’s longest suspension, plus a few games.

Point of contact doesn't matter. Reilly needs to be punished for his intent regardless of what the end result was. The play was over and he skated across the ice to engage. He showed clear intent to inflict something resembling pain or injury. He wasn't going there to chat. This is Dale Hunter on Pierre Turgeon. It's Bertuzzi on Moore. The intent is why he needs to be suspended, not the result.

He was intending to cause harm long after the play was dead. And he'd have clocked Greig whether Greig saw him in time or not. That's intent and it needs to be punished.

Grieg knew what he was doing and people pretending otherwise are being intentionally obtuse. He was taunting the leafs and I would have been very annoyed if the leafs did nothing.

What they should have done is show up a couple if hours earlier in the game when it would have mattered. This was a stupid face saving exercise that didn't accomplish a damn thing or make them any less humiliated.

This is the same bullshit argument Canucks fan used when Berdummy broke Moore's neck. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. If you don't want to get taunted, don't get soundly beaten by a team nearly 20 points behind you in the standings. The Leafs don't need to seek retribution, they need a bag skate.

Wait don’t you normally encourage violence? Only anti-Leafs violence?

I encourage it, but one must accept the consequences.

Moreover, the Leafs need Reilly. If anyone should have gone after Greig it should have been the 7 minutes a game one game a week waste of space known as Reaves, not your best defenseman.

That's playoff hockey and Simmonds wasn't helping you by being dressed so the Habs did you a favor.

I agree with a lot of things you say, not this though.

That statement is utter bullshit.

That was every bit as vicious as Reilly's crosscheck and should have been dealt with just as severely as his will be.

Playoffs and whether the targeted player is a big name or a has-been or anything in between should have absolutely nothing to do with the act and resulting penalties. The targetting player shouldn't be treated any differently due to their status either.

We all know that isn't the case though in this league run by incompetent assholes. But it should be.



EDIT: Maybe you were joking, but I don't think so.

You don't seem to have much of a sense of humour from what I've seen
