The whole unwritten code thing is sports is so pathetic. Bat flips, hanging on the rim, and hockey is by far the worst. Why are these pro athletes such delicate snowflakes that everyone has to play the game the “right way”. Isn’t the whole point of score keeping to show up your opponent?
I thought the slapper was great (for a team and fans that haven’t had much to cheer about) and especially when your home barn is over half full of Leaf fans. But, I also think that the Reilly suspension is going to be overkill, and likely should have been about 2 games.
It was a no lose scenario for Greig. End of the game, don’t play the Leafs again this season, and you knew it would make them crazy. He would do the same thing every time.
As for the Leafs, when your reputation is the softest team in the league, this is going to happen. Absolutely no one in the league has any fear of Reaves. He doesn’t fight, he just skates around shaking you by the collar.
