Ryan Reaves, the Toronto Maple Leafs' enforcer, recently weighed in on the controversy surrounding his teammate's Morgan Rielly's response to Ridly Greig's game-sealing empty-net slapshot goal during the Battle of Ontario, match between the Leafs and Ottawa Senators.

Reaves' Take on Rielly's Response Sparks Debate Among NHL Fans:

Reaves didn't mince words stating,

If you rewind to when I came into the league he's probably still laying on the ice. I thought (Morgan Rielly's response) was appropriate. I don't see how a kid that young thinks it's appropriate to do something like that.

The debate online has been fierce, with many questioning whether Greig violated the unwritten 'code' of the NHL, and whether Rielly's reaction was justified.

As we await the Department of Player Safety's decision on Rielly's punishment, the possibility of an in-person hearing suggests it could result in a suspension of over 5 games.

It remains to be seen how the discussion will unfold if Rielly faces a suspension longer than 5 games.
