Feel sorry for McCabe's bloodied nose and lip. Wonder why the referee called a penalty for the guy who hit him. May be that was considered normal injury for such a game. Sheldon Keefe was seen obviously upset and angry about it.

Kampf and Jarnkrok were out. Supposedly two of their better defensive forwards.
The PP has been churning out goals lately.
For D Benoit had more ice time than Brodie and McCabe. He was behind only Rielly.

You could read lips a few times during the game. I think on a penalty to one of the Leafs you could clearly see him saying "fucking asshole" to the ref.
Sens 5 Leafs 3.
Nice cheap shot by Reilly at the end on Greig...He's going to get suspended for that I presume.
Overall an entertaining game and the best team won this night anyways.

I'm usually not a fan of stuff like that, but for once somebody played as if they actually had pride for the crest on their chest. Even if he gets suspended for a game or two, it will have been worth it for the example he set. (Not the violence itself, but for demonstrating to the rest of the team that they should have more pride. It was a leadership move.)
A lot of people with really tiny dicks in Leaf-land saying "yeah, but at least we proved we're tough".
Dale Hunter got 21 games for an identical hit on Pierre Turgeon.
If the league has any balls or seriousness about protecting players from cross-checks to the face they'll suspend him for at least 21 games because it was after the whistle and completely unrelated to anything that could be described as a "hockey play".
Reilly didn't even have the balls to fight him, he just snuck up and cross checked him in the head. Neanderthal mentality. The league needs put their foot down on this type of bullshit.
He'll probably be given six games based on the Perron incident.

Leafs don't need to put a guy in the emergency room to prove a point, they just need to show they give a fuck with a response, just grab the guy's sweater and say "WTF was that you prick!", give him a face wash with the glove and let a scrum ensue.
The guy who hands down suspensions was a Hab, so don't be surprised if Morgan gets 2 games. Reilly has no history of suspensions.

Turgeon was blindsided, he was vulnerable so even more dangerous, the Reily incident was even close to being as dangerous.
2 other factors.
Hunter skated much, much further to get to Turgeon and hit him later after the goal than Rielly.
As well, the Ottawa guy deserved it for being such a douche. The way he slapped it in from a foot away was showing up the Leafs. It was very disrespectful. It reminded of a football incident. I forget the details, but didn't Terrell Owens stand on the opponents logo at mid-field after scoring a touchdown with his arms crossed. The other team went after him. Was it against Dallas?
I’d agree with you if it was a premeditated attack. If this happened in the next game a 15 or longer game suspension would be warranted.
No doubt Rielly would get a suspension and justifiably should, but with any justice system the circumstances and the victim’s provoking behaviour are usually taken into consideration when punishments are handed out. I’d think 3 to 5 games depending on the seriousness of the injury.
What the Ottawa player did was stupid and was rubbing salt on a wound, but he didn’t deserve to get his head smashed. I’m sure Rielly would choose a different form of retaliation had he had more time to react.
I just wish that the other core players would show more passion.
When Rielly returns from whatever suspension he's given, I hope the hometown Leaf crowd gives him a standing ovation on his first shift.
If we're arguing that the Ottawa player deserved a two handed crosscheck to the face because he was acting like a douche or "rubbing salt in the wounds", you need to have enough awareness to realize that this is how the rest of the league sees your argument:
