Thread: 2023-2024 NHL Discussion Thread #3: After Further Review...
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Both were after the whistle and dirty... They both were actually worse than the Rielly one... Especially the Trouba one...</div></div>

if you're really gonna stand here and say that Trouba's one-handed follow through that carelessly clipped Frederic on the back of the neck/head is *worse* than Rielly skating towards Grieg and hitting him with a fully-controlled, two-handed cross check to the head/neck area, then I don't know what to say man. I'm an Islanders fan and you've got me defending the biggest dickhead on the Rangers right now because you think a stupid, careless action is worse than a clearly purposeful and fully in control action.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan98</b></div><div>Because you'd think if the Leafs players and coach go and defend their guy hardcore, the Sens would do the same right?

Why is that answer no if Greig's so blatantly in the right?</div></div>

Your constant striving to try and shift the blame back to Greig and the antiquated notions of "the code" is borderline embarrassing. You know who didn't follow the code on Saturday Night? Morgan Rielly - because if you have such a problem with someone's "classless" act, answering it with a much more classless act just makes you look that much worse. I'm cribbing from Ian Mendes here, but if Greig had so many options other than slapping it home into the empty net, why are we acting like Rielly only had the options to do nothing or to do this?

Rielly comes of looking like a major loser. You don't want to get shown up? Don't lose the game. If Rielly keeps his cool, all we're talking about is how Grieg was a sore winner who should "act like he's been there before"; instead, everyone but the true-bluest Leafs homers is talking about how Rielly can't control his emotions when the chips are down.
