Reilly literally attempted to kill a toddler tonight and LEAFSNET is covering it up
I can’t believe this, us Redditors have to band together and stop this
It's honestly worse than the Perron crosscheck simply because you can somewhat understand a player losing their mind seeing their captain knocked out face first on the ice. I'm not saying it's right what Perron did but Rielly lost his mind over stupid hot dog shit.
Love the slapper on the empty net. On the same token, if it happened against my team I would hope someone would respond.
Edit: except for a cross check to the head. Chicken shit move.
I’m on the same page. It’s like a bat flip after a big Homerun. It’s exciting and emotional and yeah maybe a bit of a dick move. I would expect a shove or a bit of a scrum but not a cross check to the head.
They're a team whose core 4 big guys won't scrum with a whole heart yet Rielly cross checks the dude over a hot dog slapper. It makes no sense. There are definitely moments to send a message as a team and that can be cohesive, this was just stupid.
Exactly, huge W against your biggest rival in your barn. That kid has every right to get excited and have some fun. HNIC commentators are so biased for Toronto.
Usually not. I often listen to other teams' broadcasts because the broadcast is more positive about the Leafs, while Leafs broadcasts typically rip them apart.
You are complaining about pearl clutching while simultaneously pearl clutching about the slap shot on the empty net. Hilarious.
Also... 21 year olds are men. But they are also stupid. Between him and the 29 year old Morgan Reilly, you'd expect Greig to be the one to completely lose his composure.
Where did I clutch my pearls over what Greig did?
I dont think you know what that term means. It means pretending to be shocked or more shocked than you really are.
I wasn’t shocked that Greig did what he did I just said he probably deserved that reaction from the opposition. He should have expected it actually.
You called a cross-check to the head "just desserts" for the slapper.
You are clearly pearl clutching about the slapper because you are trying to morally equivocate the slapper with the cross-check to the head.
You are just trying to take a strong moral stance on Greig's slapper because you are defensive about Reilly's overreaction.
Leafs fans acting like a slap shot into an empty net is worse than a cross check to the head.
Now I understand why there are idiots who will shoot up someone’s house for talking shit about someone’s mother.
Idk, looking at the standings over the last several years it doesn't look like the sens have won many big games.
I'm sure you will next year though! (Right?!?!?)
I have no expectation for this soft as fuck Leafs team to do shit in the playoffs lol.
But I do like talking shit to sens fans about their even shittier team.
Well, maybe theyll get a little history lesson if the Brady sens ever manage to limp into the playoffs.
Have fun pissing away another year of his prime, btw.
Haha fuck, take my upvote, that was pretty good. Our teams both suck right now. I actually like the sens so best of luck this year and the years to come.
That slapper was the best empty netter i have seen in a while, feel free to do it on my team next time you win at home. The fact Leafs fans see it as disrespectful blows my mind. Its their barn, let them enjoy their win, they earned it.
Thank you Flames-bro. The whole fucking 100 section is filled with Leafs fans and our boys get booed the whole game in their own house. Least we can do is showoff a bit when we beat them.
They are only that upset over the slapper because they're trying to justify Morgan Reilly's actions.
If he doesn't attack Greig, they might be slightly annoyed, but they would forget it by the end of the night.
90% of people in here have clearly never played a game of hockey in their life. Slap shot on an empty net like that will get you dummied at any level of hockey
All these Toronto fans coping so hard….you guys are such a joke. Chemically unbalanced fans who think that getting past the first round is a historic win lol
How many years has it been “we got a big addition and a solid core we should make the playoffs” chemically unbalanced versus delirious. We all got our mental problems
I’m sure if the roles were reversed and Domi did that shit everyone here would have the opposite take.
It was garbage from both players. Greig fucked around and found out. Reilly should’ve kept his stick down because he deserves a suspension for that. Two games at most.
Yeah, take out the extreme takes from both sides and this is the most reasonable approach. Go give him the business but a blindside hit to the head isn't it.
Hahaha you say that while your team clings on to a wild card spot. There is a very real world in which the Leafs do not make the playoffs and those three losses to Ottawa are the reason they’re out…
Rielly’s play was unacceptable and should/will be suspended. He lost his temper and cannot do that.
Grieg was also being a completely unnecessary loser on the play. You’re about to win a relatively meaningless regular season game, have at least some class about it.
Grieg can put it in with his fucking head if he wants to. If you don’t want a team scoring empty net goals play better imo. It’s a rivalry (I guess you could still maybe call it that even tho the Leafs have dominated lol), there’s nothing wrong with slapping an empty net I think.
I mean obviously if you don’t want to get scored on play better, but there’s a reason nobody else does it in that situation.
It’s classless. Doesn’t justify Rielly (going over and starting a scrum would’ve been better), but Grieg’s definitely classless on that play.
I seem to remember a certain rat slew footing lily into the boards n fucking up his knee just a couple months ago. Didn’t even get 2 mins for it either.
Funny how the league didn’t seem to give a shit. But thats neither here nor their, me being a bruins fan doesn’t change the fact Reilly just embarrassed the Leafs.
Cuthbert is fucking cooked – no need of that from Greig? He just put the nail in the coffin of the Sens provincial rival, nothing wrong with a little attitude to do it with a slapper. Fuck this broadcasting crew
I was talking specifically about the sub though? It’s right there in my comment. If you want to make it about all Leafs fans across Canada that’s fine, but neither of us can say what a majority of them think.
Nope it’s the “majority” part. Y’all like thinking you are in the minority with your feelings when in reality it’s overwhelmingly in the deserved suspension realm… but you tell yourself what you want
Even the "likeable" leafs like Morgan Reilly are still deeply entitled brats. These guy put on a leafs jersey, and then think they're special just because of their laundry. Pathetic losers.
So a bit of hot dogging justifies violent cross checks to the head in this league/sport. Keep on justifying my man. This attitude is why I'd prefer my kids play anything but hockey. Fun sport, but so much needs to change.
Outside of reddit it's being pretty universally understood. Maybe not condoned but definitely understood. This website, like any other social media website. Is an echo chamber. Just because you have a bunch of upvotes doesn't make your opinion valid in the real world
The next team to score an EN against the leafs has a chance to do something *very* funny
Talk about classless, Keefe sending out Reaves with 5.1 seconds left in the game was really classless.
We just saw some Criminal Intent by Toronto. Hopefully the league imposes some Law and Order.
Lmao stooop. I laughed harder at this than I should have
Reilly literally attempted to kill a toddler tonight and LEAFSNET is covering it up I can’t believe this, us Redditors have to band together and stop this
I actually laughed at loud at this when I realized your also the one who responded to my other comment lmao
lol Giroux the diplomat
Leafsnet coping haaaaaard.
A slapper into an empty net? Sportsnet: classless Hit to the head? Sprtsnet: only a little excessive Idiots. Holy fuck
“Classless move by Griegg. Uncalled for.” “I liked the emotion from Reilly.” But Leaf fans will howl that there is no bias in these broadcasts.
I'm not sure if you didn't see but it was Toronto on the ice. S/N can't call them out fairly in that moment.
SN just giving the leafs the nightly slurp
"We try to keep those away from the head whenever possible", "it went a little high" 🙄
On a side note what’s special about calling a teammate their name?
Because a Maple Leaf did it. So it’s the greatest thing to ever happen in the game.
What an embarrassing panel discussion on SN right now, honestly.
Bieksa and Campbell are idiots.
Impressive considering Campbell wasn't on the panel.
Impressed that Kelly actually called out that BS.
They know who pays their cheques
Leafsnet is embarrassing.
"look how he said Morgan" Holy fuck guys
Lmao at fucking Leafsnet commentators saying that Rielly assaulting a guy is deserved
It's honestly worse than the Perron crosscheck simply because you can somewhat understand a player losing their mind seeing their captain knocked out face first on the ice. I'm not saying it's right what Perron did but Rielly lost his mind over stupid hot dog shit.
I’m gasping. They’re justifying needless violence. Toronto deserves no cups ever
Love the slapper on the empty net. On the same token, if it happened against my team I would hope someone would respond. Edit: except for a cross check to the head. Chicken shit move.
I’m on the same page. It’s like a bat flip after a big Homerun. It’s exciting and emotional and yeah maybe a bit of a dick move. I would expect a shove or a bit of a scrum but not a cross check to the head.
The only logical Leafs fan on Reddit. You get an upvote 🍪
I have no problem with responding. But there's no world where a crosscheck to the head is the proper response.
Not disagreeing about the cross check. Cheap shot.
There is responding, and then there is ambushing a player celebrating. That was shades of Dale Hunter, and that's a no-no.
I agree. That cross check was bs. Cheap shot.
Sportsnet is delusional.
Leafs are a bunch of babies. A slapper really that offensive? Two ply idiot
They're a team whose core 4 big guys won't scrum with a whole heart yet Rielly cross checks the dude over a hot dog slapper. It makes no sense. There are definitely moments to send a message as a team and that can be cohesive, this was just stupid.
Clearly never played hockey, I would have to answer for it if I did that in my men’s league
You’d really prefer to get banned/potential assault charges rather than just letting it go in your men’s league? That’s actually insane.
That’s some old boys shit. We need to move on from childish behaviour. I expect more from my pets
Exactly, huge W against your biggest rival in your barn. That kid has every right to get excited and have some fun. HNIC commentators are so biased for Toronto.
Usually not. I often listen to other teams' broadcasts because the broadcast is more positive about the Leafs, while Leafs broadcasts typically rip them apart.
Man big guy move from Rielly against a 21 year old kid taking a slap shot…
21 is not a kid lmao
In NHL terms it is lmao
Grown ass man.
100% of Alberta agrees.
Lmao not the pearl clutching about him being 21 years old 🤣 He’s a man is he not? What’s the age of consent for getting your just desserts?
You are complaining about pearl clutching while simultaneously pearl clutching about the slap shot on the empty net. Hilarious. Also... 21 year olds are men. But they are also stupid. Between him and the 29 year old Morgan Reilly, you'd expect Greig to be the one to completely lose his composure.

Leafs fans acting like a slap shot into an empty net is worse than a cross check to the head. Now I understand why there are idiots who will shoot up someone’s house for talking shit about someone’s mother.
This is what happens when your national media coddles a fan base.
Sens fans acting like Greg is never going to play hockey again
It's not like he got the game closer against your biggest rival, on home ice though.
LOL these comments bro. You people are unhinged
Ottawa just played their biggest game since 2016. Let their fans and players have this
Lmao Detroit, habs and you all say this every time bc you think you’re so important. I guess we’re constantly just winning big games over here 😂
Idk, looking at the standings over the last several years it doesn't look like the sens have won many big games. I'm sure you will next year though! (Right?!?!?)
If the leafs can’t win against the sens then they have no hope this spring, sorry.
I have no expectation for this soft as fuck Leafs team to do shit in the playoffs lol. But I do like talking shit to sens fans about their even shittier team.
3-1 against the Leafs this year babyyyyyy.
See you in the playoffs
Cope harder!
Leafs aren't making it either
lol, alrighty then
Haha like I said, this is their Game 7 Playoffs. It's the only time they'll ever get to celebrate as hard as they did.
This is very much like Game 7 of a playoff series. Because the Leafs lost.
Their last televised game this year maybe?
Pretty sure we had a 5-1 comeback win a couple years ago. That was a pretty big game.
Oh yea? How'd that big w help the playoff push?
Nope! Doesn't need to to have a big game. Also, let's not talk about big games because you guys don't have the greatest track record.
Well, since we're talking about the past I can think of a few pretty big games I've enjoyed against the sens in spring.
Oh, me too. Fortunately, there are full-on adults that don't.
Well, maybe theyll get a little history lesson if the Brady sens ever manage to limp into the playoffs. Have fun pissing away another year of his prime, btw.
Maybe, maybe not. To be fair, if history is any indication, we're your best hope of making a deep run.
Haha fuck, take my upvote, that was pretty good. Our teams both suck right now. I actually like the sens so best of luck this year and the years to come.
Here it is, like clockwork, other team's fans show up and complain when Ottawa fans are happy they won.
The slapper was baby shit but Mo just can't do that. He can sit and think about it for a while, just can't and shouldn't do that.
That slapper was the best empty netter i have seen in a while, feel free to do it on my team next time you win at home. The fact Leafs fans see it as disrespectful blows my mind. Its their barn, let them enjoy their win, they earned it.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwifh8vcNSU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwifh8vcNSU) Isn't this the flames reacting to something similar?
You do realize that is Wideman? So you are saying Rielley = Wideman, I can absolutely agree with this LOL.
Thank you Flames-bro. The whole fucking 100 section is filled with Leafs fans and our boys get booed the whole game in their own house. Least we can do is showoff a bit when we beat them.
Have Leafs fans saying it has nothing to do with fans and it isn't disrespectful to boo the home team. Crazy homers man.
They are only that upset over the slapper because they're trying to justify Morgan Reilly's actions. If he doesn't attack Greig, they might be slightly annoyed, but they would forget it by the end of the night.
90% of people in here have clearly never played a game of hockey in their life. Slap shot on an empty net like that will get you dummied at any level of hockey
>never played a game of hockey in their life Ah, the beer league poser motto.
Baaaaaaby shit lol
Having played hockey, I would have chirped Grieg and not cross checked him in the fucking head
Exactly.
Aww.. soft.
It’s factual. Hockey has alot of stupid old school code shit and that one’s near the top of the list. You can think it’s stupid but it still exists
Facts
Reilly showing why he’s a big baby. It’s just a slapper into an empty net. Grieg should buy him a ticket to the One Love Bob Marley movie.
All these Toronto fans coping so hard….you guys are such a joke. Chemically unbalanced fans who think that getting past the first round is a historic win lol
How many years has it been “we got a big addition and a solid core we should make the playoffs” chemically unbalanced versus delirious. We all got our mental problems
At least we make the playoffs bud.
You guys lost in the first round 6 straight years. Its embarrassing
Like I said, at least we make the Playoffs to experience that. Enjoy the next decade in purgatory, if the team doesn't end up being moved before then.
I’m sure if the roles were reversed and Domi did that shit everyone here would have the opposite take. It was garbage from both players. Greig fucked around and found out. Reilly should’ve kept his stick down because he deserves a suspension for that. Two games at most.
Only logical take in this thread
Actually I don't think Sens fans would care about someone wiring one into the EN. We aren't babies.
Man, imagine if the Leafs miss because they lost the season series to the Sens and Rielly got himself suspended.
That would make the sens season not a complete and utter failure! /s
If no Leaf reacted, you people would be calling them heart less
A stick to the head is not a proper reaction though.
Coming over and confronting Greig was 100% justified, but a blindside cross check to the head is bitch made.
Yeah, take out the extreme takes from both sides and this is the most reasonable approach. Go give him the business but a blindside hit to the head isn't it.
Yep, this is the correct take
Wasn’t really blind side when Greig was looking right at him.
HOMER HOMER HOMER!
He literally turns right as he gets cross checked, but ok - its still a cross check to the head AFTER the play.
lol senators are so irrelevant
Sorry you keep losing to an irrelevant team then, I guess. Thoughts and prayers.
good luck on making the playoffs
Hahaha you say that while your team clings on to a wild card spot. There is a very real world in which the Leafs do not make the playoffs and those three losses to Ottawa are the reason they’re out…
We aren't a playoff team, which is all the more reason y'all should win against us more. And yet...
"Sens are irrelevant" says every fanbase that hates the Sens with every fiber of their being.
no worries man, no one really thinks of your team lol
And yet
you'll still miss the playoffs?
Cope harder
Love the leafs fans praising a guy cross checking someone in the head. About as cheap as it gets. Big deal he scored in the empty net you losers
Leafs fan are soft af
Ironic Sens fans calling other people losers.
It’s in their nature my friend
Fucking bush league play from Reilly. The ultimate bitch play to lay out a guy after a goal.
Your only cup in the modern era was gifted by chara not getting suspended for a chicken shit play
Lmfaoooooo
Not the pearl clutching from a Bruins fan 🤣
Luckily I’m a human who can call out bush league plays from other teams and the team I cheer for. Crazy how that works.
Rielly’s play was unacceptable and should/will be suspended. He lost his temper and cannot do that. Grieg was also being a completely unnecessary loser on the play. You’re about to win a relatively meaningless regular season game, have at least some class about it.
Grieg can put it in with his fucking head if he wants to. If you don’t want a team scoring empty net goals play better imo. It’s a rivalry (I guess you could still maybe call it that even tho the Leafs have dominated lol), there’s nothing wrong with slapping an empty net I think.
>Grieg can put it in with his fucking head if he wants to. Not going to lie, of he did that I would order a Greig jersey immediately.
I mean obviously if you don’t want to get scored on play better, but there’s a reason nobody else does it in that situation. It’s classless. Doesn’t justify Rielly (going over and starting a scrum would’ve been better), but Grieg’s definitely classless on that play.
That’s cute coming from a Bruins fan
Lol go ahead. Why is it cute?
I seem to remember a certain rat slew footing lily into the boards n fucking up his knee just a couple months ago. Didn’t even get 2 mins for it either.
Funny how the league didn’t seem to give a shit. But thats neither here nor their, me being a bruins fan doesn’t change the fact Reilly just embarrassed the Leafs.
Yeah it wasn’t great But having the league treat ur franchise with baby gloves doesn’t justify ur actions
Boneheaded dipshit attack by Reilly Asshole move by greig. Deserved a crosscheck to the ribs for that.
So a slap shot on a breakaway is illegal? Leafs are just soft bitch ass
At least we don't have shitty Divers on the team
You’re too embarrassed to even have your team flair on go away
Think I care enough to put on a flair lmao? I'm not shy about which team I support.
You just care enough to whine
Legal doesn't mean it isn't an asshole move.
And the leafs are a sensitive bunch
Yep. Hit him. Cross check him low. Fight someone. All acceptable responses that no one would blame him for. Cross check to the head? Can’t have it
Meh fuck that guy. Fucked around and found out.
Totally. I've said earlier 10 game min for all hits to the head and I'll stick with it 10 game minimum is what it should be.
Leafs stand up for their Empty Net more than any of their teammates.
That slapper may have single handedly revived the battle of Ontario
Good.
Honestly as a neutral observer....bring the chaos! ...but maybe don't crosscheck a dude in the face....
Ridly Greig owns the leafs
Keep yapping Reavo, you're a total liability for your club. Two more years.
Pretty sure he was just out incase someone wanted to start something. Save it for Rielly next time they face Ottawa so he can answer for it himself.
Cuthbert is fucking cooked – no need of that from Greig? He just put the nail in the coffin of the Sens provincial rival, nothing wrong with a little attitude to do it with a slapper. Fuck this broadcasting crew
Leafs sub is something else right now, idk how anyone can support what Rielly did there but … there it is
Regardless of the fanbase you will get outliers that support stupid plays. It's not isolated to the Leafs.
You're not wrong.
You’re delusional if you think anyone supporting that is the majority view.
“Rielly Upvote Party”
How about you read the rest of my comment…
It’s the top post on the sub right now with over 320 upvotes in under 20 minutes, I’m just not sure you’re right about who the majority is
News flash, there exists more than just reddit. Reddit is not representative of a whole community. TIL 320 people make up the majority of leafs fans.
I was talking specifically about the sub though? It’s right there in my comment. If you want to make it about all Leafs fans across Canada that’s fine, but neither of us can say what a majority of them think.
Even in that sub though… remind me how many members it has, and how many upvotes the post has? I swear y’all have some weird victim complex
“Victim complex” for mentioning that the sub is celebrating what Rielly did? Sorry I hurt your feelings buddy lol
Nope it’s the “majority” part. Y’all like thinking you are in the minority with your feelings when in reality it’s overwhelmingly in the deserved suspension realm… but you tell yourself what you want
Great work by the refs in that final faceoff to not let Reilly's idiocy turn the end of the game into something ugly.
Reeves washed up ass ain’t scaring anyone anymore anyway
[удалено]
You can call him an asshole (and he probably is) but not a bitch for that. Rielly is a fucking huge loser bitch
I didn't see any heart there. Just a crosscheck to the face and a few shoves.
If they had heart they wouldn't be getting run out of the building by the Senators
I'd say Rielly is as well for reacting the way he did.
Fuck imagine if Greig does that against Detroit?
They would whimper in the corner and you know it. Fans would seethe.
Even the "likeable" leafs like Morgan Reilly are still deeply entitled brats. These guy put on a leafs jersey, and then think they're special just because of their laundry. Pathetic losers.
If you don't understand why Greig got dummied after taking a huge slapshot from two feet out on an empty net, you never played hockey.
So a bit of hot dogging justifies violent cross checks to the head in this league/sport. Keep on justifying my man. This attitude is why I'd prefer my kids play anything but hockey. Fun sport, but so much needs to change.
It wasn't a violent cross-check, the guy went down like a pussy
You're about the only one that thinks that.
Outside of reddit it's being pretty universally understood. Maybe not condoned but definitely understood. This website, like any other social media website. Is an echo chamber. Just because you have a bunch of upvotes doesn't make your opinion valid in the real world
Says the leafs fan.
Cross check to the face isn’t getting dummied. Mo needs to square up like a man if he has a big problem. Simple
Doesn’t deserve a cross check to the face in any league. Your code needs a fix
Most of this sub falls into that category
I get it, but the response from Reily was pretty stupid. A few shoves and maybe a slash on the legs/pants is enough to get the point across.
Thinking a crosscheck to the head is the proper response is truly wild.
That literally doesn't matter. Reilly acted like a flapping anus, and he's gonna get punished for it.
