My favourite are the people who say that Reilly didn’t mean to get his stick up like that. Just skated over to him and accidentally cross-checked his head… The mental gymnastics around this one should be up for at least a silver medal.

I used to feel like this before I read “Game change” by Ken Dryden. I think every fan should give it a read. You’ll gain a whole new understanding of why any hits to the head are fucked up.

I’ve defended Marchand (who I absolutely despise) and I’ll defend Greig: cross-checks to the head are dangerous and never to be justified.
“He had it coming” is the same shit people say to raped girl for going out in “revealing clothes”.
I’ll take your downvotes now.

I’d never want anyone to crosscheck Marchand in the head.
…spear that ratfuck in the balls like he deserves…

I guess people forget players are responsible for their own stick

The leafs subreddits would defend him even if he took his skate off and went for the throat.

Nah idc about how unpopular it is. Marchand is a completely dirty player so idc if he gets whacked. No he doesn’t just “toe the line.” He is objectively dirty.
What Rielly did was be a crybaby that he got dunked on. Complete bs.

Tbf Marchand deserves all the headshots. He has been a dirty player his entire career

People forget when myers cross checked Rilley into a post. Then proceed to try and take leafs players heads off. This was just 3 weeks ago. But now Riley defends the leafs and everyone turns to a bitch.

Just because a player is someone you really dislike doesn’t mean you should ever be okay with someone attempting to injure them
