Hot dogs get punched in the head. Thems the rules.
Nothing like the Hunter hit. Greig saw him coming and should have expected it. The Hunter hit was a blind side sucker punch during a normal goal celebration after a normal goal.
I remember this happening during the San Jose series in 2004. I think it was Simon who tuned the guy up after he hot dogged on an empty netter. Simon didn't miss a game.
Hunter hit him, it was not a punch. This also did not happen in the 2004 series, I was at the game. After the empty net goal there was a scrum and Simon sucker punched someone in the scrum. Totally different situation.

For the actions that transpired late in the game Saturday night, between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators, the Department of Player Saftey has suspended Connor Zary for six games.

The "Michigan" and the between -the-legs shots also used to be considered hot dogging and would have been worthy of retribution in the old days. This kind of thinking belongs in the past.
There are few things that are more grating about hockey fans than the belief that players who show any personality at all deserve to get hurt.

Yeah, only hockey players themselves think its disrespectful to score an empty net goal in any other way but letting it slide in. It's stupid. A goal's a goal.

Nowhere near the same, Korolok got a bump for stopping uo a bit on EN.
This Sens guy should've expected something coming his way by slapping it like that.

Posted in the OOT before I saw this thread, but I think Reilly’s crosscheck was brutal and deserving of a suspension. Having said that, Greig was classless pulling that shot off in that situation so I can understand why he was upset.
He just went way overboard with it.
