    Incredibly based, I hope this gets posted to r/Hockey to see their melt down.

  2. The funniest part is these 5 words are doing more for his job security than anything on the ice this season.

  3. theguyishere16

    Im a card carrying member of the “Leafs need a new coach” club but I gotta say this is a common Keefe media W this year.

  4. Technical_Guava7224

    I think it should be a $5000 fine – to appease the people who have a problem with this.
    Mo did nothing wrong.

  5. Honestly, let’s hope this is a rallying point for the season. Rielly showing emotion, Keefe sticking up for his team. If this doesn’t get the rest of the guys to show emotion their next game while Rielly is out, then I give up it’s doomed.

    r/hockey gonna have a meltdown with this quote 💀💀💀

  7. ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

    don’t do it Keefe, don’t ~~give me hope~~ make me like you

  8. NopeItsDolan

    It wasn’t appropriate. It was stupid as fuck by Rielly.

    One stupid thing about sports is how you can’t show up your opponent. It’s such bullshit.

  9. TheCarrier89

    People acting like Rielly assaulted the guy and should be suspended for life in r/hockey. Should he have done that? No probably not but it’s not but it wasn’t nearly as violent as people making it out to be. Fucking rookie plug Grieig will think twice about doing something like that again.

    sens fans self burning themselves without realizing:

    “too bad we don’t face them again till next season”

    🤣🤣🤣🤣

  11. He’s right 💯 Hopefully the boys can build off this. In a couple months,we may be looking back at this game as a turning point in our season.

  12. MasterpieceNo9966

    it wont seem too appropriate when one of their plugs sticks one of our stars next game. fuck around find out, right?

  13. Carparker19

    You guys think this is outrageous you’re never going to believe what Max Domi’s dad did back in the day

  14. I fuckin love it. That’s my coach and my CAPTAIN

  15. buktee123

    Hockey fans are so hypocritical lol. Been calling us soft for so long and now are calling us criminals. They just want something to hate us for

  16. MunderDifflinPC

    Yea the sens subreddit is calling for Reilly’s head on a stick lmao, they want him for assault.. FAFO and bro found out haha. I mean Reilly could’ve done without the high cross check but Ridley got what he deserved

  17. Rielly deserves and will get at least 5 games. But I fucking love it regardless.

  18. ImthaDatsyukian

    I don’t see what’s wrong with this quote.

    Sure, the cross-check to the face was a bit excessive, but it is absolutely appropriate to react this way if you are Rielly. 

    Fuck the Sens

  19. PitterPatter9393

    The tears of every other NHL teams band wagoneers really could add flavour to all of the bland dishes their house holds can only afford.

  20. He gonna get suspended for sure and its deserved … but tbh I fucking love the mindset. That’s my captain. Hopefully it lights a fire under the guys.

  21. Maleficent-Cancel853

    Reaction was appropriate but im not a fan of headhunting in hockey for any reason. Like yea go cross check him, facewash, whatever but headhunting is wrong.

  22. NefCanuck

    A cross check to the head is “*appropriate*”?

    WTF was Keefe thinking making a comment like that after what Reilly did?

    JFC 🤦🏼‍♂️

  23. punkdrummer22

    About time the Leafs showed some emotion. Now if only the fab 4 did the same

  24. I think we should bring air horns the next time we invade their arena and make their whole city cry again.

  25. rhoderage1

    Even though it was deserved, just another example of our team making terrible decisions

    Now we will lose our only good Dman to a suspension. There is no win in this at all for us. Hold your emotions, make the right decision. Chirp him if you need to but f, we can’t afford to have Reilly suspended right now… we’re barely holding a playoff spot as is, we can’t even beat Ottawa lol

  26. OneNineSevenNine

    Know what would have been more appropriate Keefe? Winning the game…

  27. Baron_Wobblyhorse

    I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here, but doesn’t anyone else think that it’s pretty clear Mo didn’t actually mean to crosscheck the guy in the head? For starters, that’s not the kind of player he is, but beyond that, he lets go of his stick *immediately* on impact. Both hands, just lets it go. I think he snapped, but then caught himself and tried to mitigate the damage pretty much right away.

    He probably still deserves to be suspended, and given Parros, he *definitely* will be, but the idea that he should be given 15-20 games (let alone investigated for a crime a la Bertuzzi) is just lunacy to me. Am I alone here?

  28. Single-Researcher-81

    Anyone tired of those pansy ass little fake leafs fans in the hockey subreddits?

  29. Bobbyoot47

    It was such an idiotic thing for Greig to do. No team in the league would put up with that. I think he got off easy.

  30. reluctantLeaf

    Other fans will yap their share but if their own team fails to respond like this, you’re an embarrassment.

  31. raninandout

    As a leafs fan, who gives a fuck if he slaps it, wrists it or just watches it coast in. That was a cheap shot and likely worth a game and $2000.

    Coach saying this is a deeper problem.

  32. lukaskywalker

    I mean way to go. Now our best dman will sit for at least 2 maybe 5 games because he’s a leaf. Was it worth it in a game you just lost. Stupid play. Can’t crosscheck to the face no matter what.

  33. NuffinSaid

    Let’s be real, it was a dirty play and he should get fined and suspended. Of course a coach is going to defend his player even if it was clearly a jackass move

  34. reevoknows

    Got banned from the Sens sub lol. It’s too bad that was our last game against them.

  35. Watching hockey has become so much less enjoyable with age. Just can’t get into the eye for an eye shit anymore. Life’s too short.

  36. daveinthe6

    Instead of Reilly getting mad at that, they should all be mad at their shitty play. Losing to the 28th place team? Be mad at that.

  37. 5campechanos

    LMAO Rielly got his panties all full of piss. Fuck off cunt, learn to take the L
