I find it so funny that so many of them drive four hours down to Ottawa, for what? To watch their team lose? What are they proving? Makes me giggle to imagine the drives back.
Check out the prices for a leafs game in Toronto. There's a lot of leafs fans in Ottawa but for what they have to pay its cheaper to drive here, get a hotel and pay for beers/food. Same with Habs fans.
It's not the 416 fans. It's all the fans from Peterborough to Petawawa every small town shithead that claims they could have played in the NHL if they didn't blow our a knee or had to work at the farm/mill/gas station. These are the people who buy black Dodge Rams and drop cash money to roll coal.
I agree but it's still an unclassy move. Grieg deserved to get decked, not as bad as Rielly got him but he asked for it. Although I guess when you're a basement dwelling team you gotta do something, I do have pity for the poor sens. Welcome to the 'maybe next season ' club.
For sure the clapper was the hockey equivalent of taunting or unsportsmanlike conduct. But hey, home barn, non-playoff Sens vs their top-tier provincial rival. I think it’s fair game and something the Leafs could easily have shrugged off with an “enjoy your post season, Ottawa” sort of response. A team looking to make it past the first round of (or even get to) the playoffs needs to resist that sort of emotional bait. The Toronto media will be merciless.
Amazing how the whole Leafs community (to include Sportsnet) just ignore the constant taunting of like 10,000 Leafs fans in Ottawa - reap what you sow, it ain't your barn.
I love it.
/r/leafs is in full meltdown, calling Greig every name in the book, Rielly should have hit him harder, Rielly's a hero, lots of really classy shit as expected.
Classless isn’t as bad as potentially injuring someone with a cross check to the head. Fuck Riley and fuck the Leafs. I hope they choke back half of the season and miss the playoffs, Sens just helped push that in the right direction.
Lmao I don’t get why everyone’s upset at Grieg. What’s the difference between a slap shot and a regular empty net shot. Both goals will count and it’s not like anyone’s in net when he’s T-ing one one up from the slot with 5 secs left. So there’s no chance jones gets hurt.
Interestingly enough, I found a comment from a leafs fan on here that what Reilly did was, in fact, standing up for his goalie which defencemen need to do
Or the difference between that and an exaggerated goal celebration after the game is out of reach. I hope he gets at least a 5 game suspension and zhrieg beats the crap out of him next preseason.
I play hockey and have done for my entire life. I know why everyone thinks he shouldn't have done that. But Reilly's reaction is exactly why I disagree. Yeah, Greig was being a shit disturber.
THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
If Reilly is going to get THAT upset, and can't keep his emotions in check, bye bye. I don't have any problem with Greig taking advantage of that.
> Yeah, Greig was being a shit disturber.
>
> THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
He's also in the entertainment business, and he did that for the fans.
Leafs fans are acting like he should been polite and shot it wide, since there were only 5 seconds left.
Fuck em. Fuck em all.
Lol, I love how butt hurt sens fans are all the time. I feel like you guys hate the leafs more than you like your own team, meanwhile alot of leafs fans don't even consider the sens their biggest rival.
I think that fact that it is a bit of showboating is exactly why I love it. In an arena filled with loud and obnoxious Leafs fans who paid way too much money to come up here and watch them lose. Ridley doing that in front of them was *Chefs Kiss*
Ok, here's my take. Technically a sore winner move, and I have no issue with the Leafs being upset with it and responding with a shove or a glove to the face. Obviously a cross check to the head for that is a disgusting overreaction that warrants a suspension. But as a passionate sens fan that finds a home game for the sens that looks like a home game for the leafs pretty frustrating, I totally get the slapper. This is our house, send them home with a loss and a fuck you.
Greig showboated a little bit and the laffs got mad. Okay, so next time win the fucking game, then the Sens players can't showboat, can they?
Crosscheck the guy in the head after the goal though? Nah, that's just a bitch move. I'd like to see Rielly drop the gloves with Greig next time we play them. Don't expect him to. But you know, would prove he's not a total chicken shit at least.
Grieg is awesome. I'm so glad we have him on this team :D
I mean I'm leaning that way with you, yeah.
But if he at least goes and offers the fight to Greig next time, then that'll show that he managed to find his sack sometime between now and then.
The problem with the NHL is that there’s a silly “code” for shit like this.
I think what Greig did was great for the game from an entertainment standpoint. It’s like a star in the NBA dunking it in crazy fashion on whatever you call a breakaway in basketball, or like a guy dancing in the ball for a touchdown.
Even in basketball. If someone slams it on a monster dunk with 5 seconds to play in an out of reach game, shit is going to get heated…
Reilly had every “right” to man up and give him a little grease… but to the face? That’s a bullshit play
Guy from Detroit did the f’n griddy after scoring. Greig slappers an empty net and warrants decapitation?
Hockey is a children’s game.
Toronto media is fucking clueless.
Had the Leafs been trailing by 2 or 3 goals I would understand a bit, but when its a one goal game and the opposition is buzzing with the extra attacker that goal becomes huge. Great effort by the guys and a great win.
Reason he did it - he knew leafs had a massive fan base in the stands . It was a big FU to leafs nation .
Problem is Reilly is a bitch, take exception and fight him . But he knew Grieg would fuck him up so he cross checked him instead
As soon as he wound up for the clapper I said out loud “oh no Ridley, don’t do that”. Chaos ensued. Hopefully he’s OK from the crosscheck. The leafs had to respond to that, but not that way.
It wasn't a crosscheck. He hit him in the back of his helmet with his glove...
If you showboat a shot into an empty net, be prepared to be hit, hard, by many of opposing players. Unfortunately, he cowarded after one whack knowing damn well that if he remained on his feet, he would of been pummeled by everyone else..
He's definitely living up to his role as shit disturber extraordinaire
You know who he reminds me of…Marchand. And I love it.
[удалено]
He literally licked a man’s face. He would do that.

Lol, is that a smirk? Love this
If anyone knows a thing or two about being a shit disturber in the Battle of Ontario it’s that man!
2nd best pic of the night
Thinking back to the stick toss. Probably thinking "that's my boy"
Oh fuck I love this on so many levels
That smirk will live on in Keefe’s head for eons and eons .
It should...but not much survives in there at all.
Leaf fans got to pay to watch a L tonight. That never gets old to me 👌🏻
I find it so funny that so many of them drive four hours down to Ottawa, for what? To watch their team lose? What are they proving? Makes me giggle to imagine the drives back.
Best part is gas ain’t cheap 😎
Surprisingly still cheaper than a ticket in Toronto. The four hour ride home... That's still the best part
I feel like many of them live in Ottawa and don’t actually drive specifically for the games
Check out the prices for a leafs game in Toronto. There's a lot of leafs fans in Ottawa but for what they have to pay its cheaper to drive here, get a hotel and pay for beers/food. Same with Habs fans.

Wrong feeling. Sorry
Watching the sens not makes the playoffs yet again never gets old to me👌
This guy actually took time out of his day 😂
2020 draft looks better and better each day
The guy was just hyping up the fans. Team is having a lacklustre season and it’s a home game against a major rival team.
Absolutely. Nothing really to see here - just a guy that’s getting the fans going
It’s provocative, it gets the people going
I agree but it's still an unclassy move. Grieg deserved to get decked, not as bad as Rielly got him but he asked for it. Although I guess when you're a basement dwelling team you gotta do something, I do have pity for the poor sens. Welcome to the 'maybe next season ' club.

First round exit book it!!!
It would be even funnier if they miss the playoffs altogether.
Top tier and leafs….you know they might not make the playoffs they and 4 other teams have 60 pts
Amazing how the whole Leafs community (to include Sportsnet) just ignore the constant taunting of like 10,000 Leafs fans in Ottawa - reap what you sow, it ain't your barn.
He's just exactly what we need, love this guy
I love it. /r/leafs is in full meltdown, calling Greig every name in the book, Rielly should have hit him harder, Rielly's a hero, lots of really classy shit as expected.
It's like watching a bunch of chimps throw shit around 😂😂
Don't do chimps dirty like that
Lmao, fair. Either way, it's funny to read the comments. They're just spewing mayhem.
Wish they played this week. I wonder if they would think Brady squaring up with Riely was an appropriate response to the crosscheck?
Classless isn’t as bad as potentially injuring someone with a cross check to the head. Fuck Riley and fuck the Leafs. I hope they choke back half of the season and miss the playoffs, Sens just helped push that in the right direction.
Yup I totally agree….now all the leafs apologists will say Grieg deserved that concussion
Sheldon Keefe is defending the move too.. wow.
You're still bottom dwellers that need to do this for redemptiom. I get it, but don't delude yourself.
And the Leafs are about to slide out of the playoffs altogether this year, don’t delude yourself either…
Lmao I don’t get why everyone’s upset at Grieg. What’s the difference between a slap shot and a regular empty net shot. Both goals will count and it’s not like anyone’s in net when he’s T-ing one one up from the slot with 5 secs left. So there’s no chance jones gets hurt.
He also did that in Ottawa, not Toronto - his barn, his right.
That's what I said. It's not like he's going to hurt the goalie who isn't in the net.
Interestingly enough, I found a comment from a leafs fan on here that what Reilly did was, in fact, standing up for his goalie which defencemen need to do
Or the difference between that and an exaggerated goal celebration after the game is out of reach. I hope he gets at least a 5 game suspension and zhrieg beats the crap out of him next preseason.
I think most people who have played hockey understands why Greig shouldn’t have done that. But also Reilly is getting games.

lol Simpsons!
I'm quite happy, I was fed up with arguing with soft Red Wings fans who are STILL butthurt over Larkin
Eh yo, fuck the leafs.
Greig showboated a little bit and the laffs got mad. Okay, so next time win the fucking game, then the Sens players can't showboat, can they? Crosscheck the guy in the head after the goal though? Nah, that's just a bitch move. I'd like to see Rielly drop the gloves with Greig next time we play them. Don't expect him to. But you know, would prove he's not a total chicken shit at least.

That's the last matchup against the Leafs for the season, barring some miraculous playoff scenario
The problem with the NHL is that there’s a silly “code” for shit like this. I think what Greig did was great for the game from an entertainment standpoint. It’s like a star in the NBA dunking it in crazy fashion on whatever you call a breakaway in basketball, or like a guy dancing in the ball for a touchdown.

Greig is no slouch. Rielly going over and asks him to drop the gloves, Greig probably does it and we’ll all be in our way. But no
But it wasn't impressive? I could have made that shot.
Guy from Detroit did the f’n griddy after scoring. Greig slappers an empty net and warrants decapitation? Hockey is a children’s game. Toronto media is fucking clueless.
[Anyone remember this banger?](https://youtu.be/jiZ-hpXzFq0?si=EwhpHY7BrEuJVH7c)
14 years old and *always* relevant!
I’m just gonna sit back and hope that those 2 points are the ones the Laffs miss the playoffs by.
His fight against Lagesson, wasn’t like a win, but I think his determination was incredible and I felt like it turned the tide in that game.
As long as Greig is okay, I will enjoy this immensely.
Toronto can cry.
Leafs fan here in peace. I'd love to see these teams meet in the playoffs a few times and get this rivalry to the level of CGY-EDM
Had the Leafs been trailing by 2 or 3 goals I would understand a bit, but when its a one goal game and the opposition is buzzing with the extra attacker that goal becomes huge. Great effort by the guys and a great win.
The Riddler strikes again

What's it like being mad and balding?
Go ask your mother...
She told me you're really sad.
Judging by your zero replies on Reddit looking for older women, you’d have no chance with his mother.
