Everyone’s actions involved in this play are a bit right and wrong. Regardless, not a great response. I’m sure the kid will learn how to handle the media better as time marches forward. No regrets for taking an empty net clapper 5 feet away with 3 seconds left, but then casually big leagues Morgan Reilly for overreacting.
Can't wait to see this guy take the ice against the Leafs next season if he still has a job… He definitely needs a further tune up, most cross check able face outside of Cousins
He doesn't care what anybody thinks. This obviously includes his teammates. We all heard the interviews from his team afterwards, taking the high road and saying they never have any idea what he is going to do, even in practise. None of them condoned it. I understand Ottawa fans loving it. That was their Stanley Cup. Winning meaningless games from January and onward will not affect their April tee-times but will definitely have more people tuning in to the Leafs-Sens next meaningless matchup.
Leaf fan here, I really don't understand why so many of my fellow fans seem to think Ridley deserved this. A little roughing up over lack of repect, cool, but trying to take a guy's head off with your stick? In what universe is that, to quote Mr. Keefe, "appropriate" ???
I thought it was a great shot. By both of them. And I approve of the 5 game suspension. Cause if Reilly didn’t hit him in the head he shouldn’t get anything but a 2 min penalty at most. Live and learn for both players.

"I just got a breakaway and I thought I'd bury it".
Exactly as it should be.

Should have dropped them RG. Woulda gained a ton of fans buddy. Took the crosscheck like a champ tho.

Everyone who knows hockey know that you don't put a slapper in an empty net. Don't do stupid shit. It's a no no. Fists will fly.
