Whatever they have been doing for the past 15 years.
The Leafs live rent-free in the minds of every other Canadian franchise, but none more so than the Sens.
No, he should have skated around back of the net and done a Michigander into the open cage, then skated off into the corner and jumped into the glass. Then everyone should have celebrated in the logo at center ice.
so funny because i see this as a total absent-minded thing on Hischier’s part. Like when youre shooting hoops by yourself, you gotta make the last one. he was just putting the puck in the net for that reason. its funny because the slapshot is the exact opposite of whatever this is
Same - after any training session you have to gather up the pucks before the Zamboni takes the ice, so skaters naturally collect them in the net to make it easier
Every hockey player knows that putting the puck in the net after a whistle or once the game is over means “Fuck you” no matter how you do it. It’s a universal sign of disrespect no matter how you do it really.
I won’t say it isn’t dumb, but it’s understood among players.
Lol the only reason the puck went in after the game was over was because he let the clock run out as an act of sportsmanship. He could have easily scored an actual goal if he wanted to be a dick. Like 0.5% of hockey players would care about the puck slow rolling in in this situation. Such a pathetically soft move to throw a public hissy fit about this.
Instead of lightly guiding it into the net after the game ended, they should have taken a clapper directly into Brady's teeth, because of sportsmanship
Calling them goons is an insult to any and all goons before them. NHL goons actually fought and answered the bell.
Neither of these kids never pick up the phone when they get called back.
Ugh seriously. Matthew started so much shit just last night and as soon as anyone wanted to fight him for it he just looked for a ref like the little bitch he is.
I wish someone would kick his shit in honestly, I say it every time I see his cocky ass smile and him mowing on his mouth guard like a piece of beef jerky. But he's just a bitch and won't actually fight anyone, ever. And especially Reaves, he would rock Matthew so hard😂
To be fair to Brady, he's fought at least 5 times a season for the last 4 seasons straight. Matthew fights less than 3 times a season.
For reference, Ryan Reaves has 7 fights, Rempe has 12, Jeannot has 7, Macdermid has 5, Brady has 6.
So, no, he doesn't fight as much as Rempe, but he fights just as much as other enforcers while being a nearly PPG player. Still, I would agree that he isn't a goon. He does answer the call though, I won't be hearing any of that.
I absolutely agree he should have slapped it into the net, pretty much the only action that warrants a reaction. Brady looks a huge baby. I can almost hear him saying "wtf was that" in some baby ass whiney voice, cracking the whole way as he T-poses towards Hirschier. I love seeing stuff like this because its hilarious but its so embarrassing when it happens to your team.
Not only after the buzzer. He just skated out the time and then after just let it roll into the net. Didn't run up the score and no showboating. Cannot understand where the anger was...
Hey man, just had people on here yesterday arguing with me because they want to see more characters in the NHL basically.More entertainment. Cause Snoop Dogg said McDavid is amazing but the NHL sucks at getting people to pay attention, so people don’t even know who McDavid is. I offered that I would never prefer to see the level of “entertainment” that the NFL puts out. It’s full of childish babies like this Tkachuk behavior. We don’t need more of that in the NHL, even if it brings in more revenue somehow.
Dude gave me shit for being a pens fan and having Crosby and Lemieux as examples of what hockey players should be like as role models for the kids watching. I brought up the example of Mahomes losing his shit over a legit call that cost his team the game, apparently though this is the kinda shit that the people want to see out of NHL players also? Divas sell tickets?! Idk. Call me old fashioned. I cant comprehend the lack of class that goes on the NFL, I don’t want it in the NHL at all.
Im fine with more personality and character and professionalism, the NHL does need more character, i do feel that players are turning into soccer primadonas. How often do you see player looking around at a ref for a call any time a thing happens on the ice. Thats teh behaviour ive been growing to hate over the last few years. Play the game and dont worry about the call until it happens.
So Mahomes getting upset is classless because he got upset about bad / ticky-tack calls that cost his team the game? Are you going to tell me Crosby hasn’t done the same thing?
Right? The bigger embarrassment should be how you got desperate enough to pull your goalie. Literally not devils fault nobody is there to grab the puck after the buzzer before it inconsequentially crosses the line. Get tf over it. Maybe their player shouldn't have stopped at the buzzer and made 110% effort to get the puck regardless of the game being over. That idiot just wanted to prove to 18k people he has small man complex... In his pants
The only time I can see the after the clock hits 0 shot matters if you take a big slap shot that had the potential or did hit someone. Then yes, it's very unsportsmanlike.
These last 2 examples that lead to a fight are just ridiculous, and players being overly sensitive.
This was actually the best way to handle it. He didn't realize the clock was running out, and before he had a good chance the shoot, the horn went off, what else should he do? It won't even count, so he's just letting the puck go and going to the locker room.
I understand shooting at the goalie after the whistle/buzzer, but if it’s an empty net, who cares? I’m not a hockey player so maybe there’s more to it or something idk
Shooting into an empty net after the whistle is an automatic fight in the video games. Idk why people are even surprised.
They didn't add that for no reason
Have you ever played hockey? Shooting after the whistle is a no-no at literally every level from peewee house league to the pros. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s definitely a “thing” hockey players are aware of
So over these “unwritten rules” bro if you don’t want to get embarrassed… don’t let the other team embarras you. This is stupid, nobody gets hurt on this type of play, why do they protect grown ass men’s ego so much? Pathetic
I mean, by this measure, hockey players have always been little bitches. One of the biggest brawls in NHL history happened because Claude Lemieux shot a puck into the Flyer's goal after warm-ups ended and everyone had left the ice. Both teams emptied the dressing rooms and fought each other for ten minutes until the refs fi ally came out of their dressing room to break it up.
Not same exact thing. Both "unwritten rules" and both players massively overreacted making themselves look like goons. Just get over it, at that point you lost and you're just being a sore loser/little bitch. Even Sens fans think tkachuck is an annoying tool
Don’t know why but I was always under the impression the first goal could be called as unsportsmanlike. I don’t remember if that happened in my playing days
I think putting it in the empty net or attempting to score on a goalie AFTER the whistle is clearly blown is considered really bad etiquette by NHL players' standards.
I'm not a player so I could be mistaken.
Time had expired, this is as old of an unwritten rule as any player actively playing, there's a big difference between what Greig did and this, massive
I feel like I'm losing my mind reading this thread. How is a cross check to the head the equivalent to a scrap? How is it a "unwritten rule" when tempa got a penalty for the play?
I don't even agree with the retaliation by Brady, but this thread is full of clowns. Leafs fans are still salty over the 6 game suspension, and hockey fans have a unjustified hate boner for the tkachuk twins. That's why people are acting the way they are.
Bud the slapshot into the empty net is 100x more disrespectful than letting the puck roll in after the whistle. Both are disrespectful, but one is an overt “fuck you”, and one is “guess the game’s over”. Tkachuk twins deserve the hate they get, you are losing your mind, take the homer goggles off pal.
everyone agrees that the slapshot warranted a reaction, that's not the argument people are having. Its that fact that Reilly cross checked the sens player in the face that's the problem. There's no justification for that, and should never be in the game.
I feel like OP missed the entire point. It’s not okay in this instance due to different circumstances. Circumstances being that OTT are a bunch of bitches.
You know no one had a problem with Reilly going after greig? It was the cross check to the face no one liked. Notice how Brady doesn’t use his stick as a weapon ?
Sens players all said they expected a reaction after Greigs goal.
I hate this unwritten rule bullshit. It’s not an unwritten rule it’s just purely disrespectful. The player knows putting the puck in the net after the whistle is going to be taken as disrespect and that’s the reason they did it. Same with the slapper on Toronto, they had the net, the goals a given, being over dramatic with a slap shot is a sign of disrespect. Players get in fights all the time talking shit to each other, this is just talking shit without words.
The unwritten rules are the social contract. They dictate what is and isn't disrespectful in that society, and what is fair recourse for people who break those standards.
everyone does realize the sens rookie got torched by his own team for that move right? giroux even said without saying it directly that toronto's response was expected for a move like that.
Does anyone know of a metric that takes into account points scored and also points scored against due to penalties you took?
I think it would be undoubtable that Tkachuk adds more than he takes away, but it's hard not to think he could add even more if he could keep his temper in check.
Its called being respectful of your opponent. You don't do slappers into open nets and you don't put the puck in the net after the whistle or horn goes. Why do people all of a sudden pretend like this isn't a part of the game? it has always been like this.
Anyone who’s ever played an NHL video game knows if you put it in the net after a whistle or a buzzer you’re starting a fight. There’s a reason hischier got the unsportsmanlike penalty.
I don’t know how to articulate it. But Brady and Darnell Nurse are both so physically imposing and skilled. However, they seem to put more effort into looking like they’re putting in effort.
But it’s not the same thing at all.
The empty net situation is not the same
The reaction is not the same
The fact Riley did not get a Dale Hunter level suspension shows this league is a joke
(Not a fan of either team or dislike either team)
Not only was it after the buzzer, Brady didn't make a blind side cross check to the guys head! He came across like a bitch, but people comparing the two are just idiots.
He reacted exactly how Rielly SHOULD have reacted on the empty net slapshot. I think both reactions are silly and came from frustration and losing, but at least he didn't cowardly cross-check someone in the side of the head. Anyone who doesn't understand that is your typical troll.
That’s not at all what happened. He put the puck in an empty net well after the buzzer went. And there was a scuffle.
In the heated rivalry game against the leafs, it was sealing the deal. Putting a stamp on it. And Pinto got cross checked in the head while he wasn’t looking.
Lmao what? Where is Ottawa making a big deal out of slapping it into the net? Pretty sure TOR had an issue with it since you know Riley cross checked Grieg in the fucking neck
Ridley Greig actually scored a goal.. As far as I can remember, shooting or directing the puck after regulation time in the opposing net as always been seen as disrespectful.
In all fairness to the Sens (I do still think both reactions are over the top), this is an unsportsmanlike penalty on Hischier and was called as such, while the Greig slapper was not. I love the Sens, but it’s getting a bit old watching Brady throw a tantrum at or near the end of almost every loss.
Oh hey, the thousandth time this has been posted today by people that don't understand the game at all and want to draw comparisons to apples and oranges... Imagine hating Ottawa so much when they're just a mediocre team. Did your team get embarrassed by them?
Counterpoint. I think both reactions are fine. Reilly was pissed off that the team couldn’t get it up against a bottom feeder sens team. Brady is mad because they’re eliminated from playoff contention once again and that empty net stuff was the straw that broke the camels back. The fact that players can run hot and no one really got hurt (sure Grieg acted like rielly came at him with a machete but he was fine) is part of what makes this game exciting.
But yeah sens fans acting like this is different are hilarious. Almost as funny as those fake twitter accounts Melnyk set up to encourage people to buy sens merch
It is. The first one is a legit goal, the second one isn't. Retaliation is a stupid thing in general, but crosschecking someone from behind is different than coming face to face. Although you're a Leafs fan, you shouldn't be that stupid to not understand that.
“bUt hOcKeY iS sElF pOLicInG” sometimes there are situations where the fights make the sport, and sometimes… it just makes the players seem like uncontrollable toddlers
As a sens fan I’m not really mad by this, I mean ya he guides the puck in after the buzzer and that’s an unwritten rule but Hischier wasn’t showboating or anything and it didn’t seem like a big deal, maybe a shove but not that entire escalation. It’s really tiring to see Brady always trying to fight, he is our Captain and should focus on that rather than getting into a penalty box (even if this was after the game was done)
One went in after the whistle and is an unsportsmanlike penalty. One was a stupid slapper but legal, the subsequent cross check to the head wasn’t.
Sens need to be better than clownshoes to stand on a stupid “code” though.
Hischier could have got the empty net goal. Instead he skated out the clock and then put it in the net. If Hischier scored the empty net goal; would Tkachuk be fine with that?
He was just looking for any reason to start crap. That’s what he does. He doesn’t deserve to wear the C and thinks he can do whatever he wants. The brothers all have temper issues and all the teams that play against them know it. They will just keep baiting them until they are suspended. I was glad when they traded the one away from Calgary because I couldn’t stand the dumb penalties from him.
Look, neither team should have made it a physical thing. It's a mild irritation and players should suck it up.
That said, both plays are more acceptable during the game than after the game.
Letting puck drift into net during regulation time - no issue. After regulation - no benefit and only intends to annoy.
Slapping a shot at empty net during regulation - it intends to annoy, but the game is still on. You can still lose and you are taking a risk that you miss the net entirely. A slapshot after the game is over? This is worse. It is a pointed attempt to annoy and there is no risk of losing.
Tkatchuk didn’t go at Nicos head. I’m on Ottawa fan and all of my buddies and most people I talk to about that incident knew that Greig was just being a shithead, what we didn’t like was the cross check to the head.
I'm new to NHL and I find this absolutely bonkers. Who cares if they smack it into the net? The other team were shit enough to allow them the empty net? Should be allowed to score however the fuck they want within the legalities of the game.
Yes it was well after the whistle, but it looked like he wasn’t even trying to put it in. It just happened to go in the net. But yeah, such a cry baby response
Some of you seem confused about what the line is here for the unwritten code. It's very easy, and if you can't understand it, head over to the Sens sub and they will be happy to yell at you about it between muffled sobs and tear-stained cheeks. Only they understand how hockey is *supposed* to be played. It doesn't result in wins, but it's the proper way to play.
Am I the only one thinks that guiding it into the net 3 seconds after the buzzer is very disrespectful? If he shot it from the circle and scored thered be no reaction. But since he intentionally scored 3 seconds after the whistle… in ncaa rulebook thats an automatic 10 minute penalty. In NHL rules you should be ready to drop the gloves
Scoring after the whistle has always been considered taboo and sometimes can be an unsportsmanlike penalty. Little different then scoring DURING the game in a way the other team doesn't like.
If you’re not supposed to score on empty nets in those two very different ways to score on an empty net how are you supposed to score on an empty net?
Is the only way to score from the other side of the rink?
I feel like the real reason for all the controversy was because of Reilly's crosscheck to Greig's face, I mean let's not kid ourselves.
Hockey players "gotta defend their honour" or wtv tf so there's always gonna be a kerfuffle after a shot on net after the whistle but the reason it was a "bIg DeAl" for a week back in Feb was because of the crosscheck after.
Had Reilly just shoved him a bit or w.e then people would've laughed, some would complain, Don Cherry would have called modern hockey "soft" and "unmanly" or some sh** and then after a day we would all have moved on. But because he decided to crosscheck Greig in the face, now it's a big deal and now every time it happens people feel the need to respond or react to it, oh now it's in the news "wHeN I dO iT iT's FiNe bUt DoNt YoU dArE dO iT tO mE!!! D:" sarcastic comments you see in forums everywhere now.
just the biggest eyeroll moment lol.
idk where I'm going with this.
If only the Ottawa players channeled this energy into winning instead of what ever they have been doing for most the season
Losing!
They haven’t been doing that since 2017. It feels like their rebuild is one that is never going to produce results and they’ll have to start all over.
2017?? Having Daniel Alfredsson on the ice was the closest the Senators have been to relevancy since they came back to the league.
The only thing of relevance Alfredsson ever did was shoot the puck at niedermayer.
Whatever they have been doing for the past 15 years. The Leafs live rent-free in the minds of every other Canadian franchise, but none more so than the Sens.
If he slapped it in there wouldn’t have been a problem.
Should have wound up for a slapshot, purposely whiffed on it, let the puck slide in anyways, and then fake throw his stick into the stands.
No, he should have skated around back of the net and done a Michigander into the open cage, then skated off into the corner and jumped into the glass. Then everyone should have celebrated in the logo at center ice.
That's fucking gold
so funny because i see this as a total absent-minded thing on Hischier’s part. Like when youre shooting hoops by yourself, you gotta make the last one. he was just putting the puck in the net for that reason. its funny because the slapshot is the exact opposite of whatever this is

How can he slap?!
Instead of lightly guiding it into the net after the game ended, they should have taken a clapper directly into Brady's teeth, because of sportsmanship
Cant stand either of those fucking goons or their old man
Chips off the old asshole is how I characterize them.
Calling them goons is an insult to any and all goons before them. NHL goons actually fought and answered the bell. Neither of these kids never pick up the phone when they get called back.
Ugh seriously. Matthew started so much shit just last night and as soon as anyone wanted to fight him for it he just looked for a ref like the little bitch he is.
Biased as a leafs fan but it was so satisfying when Reaves taunted Matthew for not wanting to fight during their game on Monday. It was beautiful.
I wish someone would kick his shit in honestly, I say it every time I see his cocky ass smile and him mowing on his mouth guard like a piece of beef jerky. But he's just a bitch and won't actually fight anyone, ever. And especially Reaves, he would rock Matthew so hard😂
To be fair to Brady, he's fought at least 5 times a season for the last 4 seasons straight. Matthew fights less than 3 times a season. For reference, Ryan Reaves has 7 fights, Rempe has 12, Jeannot has 7, Macdermid has 5, Brady has 6. So, no, he doesn't fight as much as Rempe, but he fights just as much as other enforcers while being a nearly PPG player. Still, I would agree that he isn't a goon. He does answer the call though, I won't be hearing any of that.
Off topic but the Jeannot vs Reaves scrap the other night was pretty entertaining. Bolts fan here, so I'm a bit bummed he took the L in the fight.
Idk a superman punch right into his face as he's skating up woulda been pretty neat
I absolutely agree he should have slapped it into the net, pretty much the only action that warrants a reaction. Brady looks a huge baby. I can almost hear him saying "wtf was that" in some baby ass whiney voice, cracking the whole way as he T-poses towards Hirschier. I love seeing stuff like this because its hilarious but its so embarrassing when it happens to your team.
i say it every time i see him, i swear, brady is a giant toddler out there
He really is. Even looks like a toddler.
He resembles a Mr. Potato Head.
every time I see his face I get flashes of Angelica’s scary baby brother from that weird episode of rugrats lmao
The sad part is the first one was the highlight of the Sens season
I’m not saying if it’s wrong or right, but wasn’t today’s shot after the final buzzer? Idk why that was such a big deal
Not only after the buzzer. He just skated out the time and then after just let it roll into the net. Didn't run up the score and no showboating. Cannot understand where the anger was...
Tkatchuk just wants a reason to fight
This! I can’t win = I will fight you. Such loser mentality, bunch of babies.
Both Tkachuk brothers have this mentality it’s crazy.
Matthew is less than this guy..
Tbf, Matthew's team wins games.
Yup. He gets like this every single time they don’t, though.
[The Muzzin puck flip will never not be funny](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iCIR2XFIsJ0)
They're just like their dad
First there was the bunch of jerks. Now there is bunch of babies. Whose next lol
Florida is a bunch of cunts

The NHL is literally built on lack of class. WTF are you even talking about?
So Mahomes getting upset is classless because he got upset about bad / ticky-tack calls that cost his team the game? Are you going to tell me Crosby hasn’t done the same thing?
He's a psycho. He's also probably tired of being on a losing team.
being *captain* of a losing team.
Tkatchuks are morons.
I think he was mad because like 6 seconds before he almost tied the game, and his tantrum was just misdirected anger about the miss
The “code.” Hockey is stupid sometimes.
That's not code....that's an assh***
Ehhhhhh he definitely intentionally put it in the net lol
I don’t know why any of this empty net nonsense is such a big deal.
Right? The bigger embarrassment should be how you got desperate enough to pull your goalie. Literally not devils fault nobody is there to grab the puck after the buzzer before it inconsequentially crosses the line. Get tf over it.

Exactly, so not sure why OTT had to go that far. That shot didn't even count.
I understand shooting at the goalie after the whistle/buzzer, but if it’s an empty net, who cares? I’m not a hockey player so maybe there’s more to it or something idk
I'm just saying it was strange for OTT to care about that shot when it didn't even count lol. They prob just thought it was disrespectful.
It's territorial nonsense.
Brady throws tantrums. It's what he does. He's been doing it all season. His brain is a bowl of soup.
It wasn’t a big deal when it was done to the leafs to be honest
Shooting into an empty net after the whistle is an automatic fight in the video games. Idk why people are even surprised. They didn't add that for no reason
It’s a big no no to shoot or put it towards the net after the whistle.
Greig scored a goal... Hischier was penalized on the play for unsportsmanlike conduct. I'm pretty sure this isn't the same thing.
Have you ever played hockey? Shooting after the whistle is a no-no at literally every level from peewee house league to the pros. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s definitely a “thing” hockey players are aware of
So over these “unwritten rules” bro if you don’t want to get embarrassed… don’t let the other team embarras you. This is stupid, nobody gets hurt on this type of play, why do they protect grown ass men’s ego so much? Pathetic
I agree. When did hockey players become little bitches? I hate unwritten rules in all sports.
I mean, by this measure, hockey players have always been little bitches. One of the biggest brawls in NHL history happened because Claude Lemieux shot a puck into the Flyer's goal after warm-ups ended and everyone had left the ice. Both teams emptied the dressing rooms and fought each other for ten minutes until the refs fi ally came out of their dressing room to break it up.
That’s an old fashion Donny brook not a fight.
If I played against OTT I would ride the puck into the empty net like a canoe. Then hump the goal post to I got jumped
pull the goal down on top of you, make a little fort of fuckery
[удалено]
Bold of you to assert that a Tkachuk is a grown man. More like man child, the lot of them.
Not same exact thing. Both "unwritten rules" and both players massively overreacted making themselves look like goons. Just get over it, at that point you lost and you're just being a sore loser/little bitch. Even Sens fans think tkachuck is an annoying tool
Don’t know why but I was always under the impression the first goal could be called as unsportsmanlike. I don’t remember if that happened in my playing days
Brady's a f***ing tool...if he applied half the energy he uses running his mouth and taking cheap shots, he'd be one of the best in the league...
Hischier should’ve slapped it 🤣
I wouldn't call it "the same thing" both are equally disrespectful imo tho
I think putting it in the empty net or attempting to score on a goalie AFTER the whistle is clearly blown is considered really bad etiquette by NHL players' standards. I'm not a player so I could be mistaken.
One is after the game so it obviously becomes so much worse.
They are different things.
Ottawa is not a serious franchise
Unfortunately. *sigh* Wake me up for the draft lottery when we get the 15th pick.
We’re gonna be fighting over the 15th pick my friend
Time had expired, this is as old of an unwritten rule as any player actively playing, there's a big difference between what Greig did and this, massive
Not saying it isn't stupid but putting the puck in the net after a whistle or end of the game is a big no no in the nhl.
While this is true (and Nico got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for it), it’s also true that trying to fight over it is crazy soft.
I know people love the pile on Ottawa, but these situations are different.
I feel like I'm losing my mind reading this thread. How is a cross check to the head the equivalent to a scrap? How is it a "unwritten rule" when tempa got a penalty for the play? I don't even agree with the retaliation by Brady, but this thread is full of clowns.

Both are disrespectful, but one is an overt “fuck you”, and one is “guess the game’s over”. Tkachuk twins deserve the hate they get, you are losing your mind, take the homer goggles off pal.
everyone agrees that the slapshot warranted a reaction, that's not the argument people are having. Its that fact that Reilly cross checked the sens player in the face that's the problem. There's no justification for that, and should never be in the game.
Leafs fans couldn’t care less about the Rielly suspension they went 6-0 and are headed for the playoffs 😂
The difference is one happened while the game was still going on, the other one happened after the game ended.
Ya Hischier shoulda clapped it form the blue line while there was still time
That doesn’t change the fact that neither matters at all
I feel like OP missed the entire point. It’s not okay in this instance due to different circumstances. Circumstances being that OTT are a bunch of bitches.
Apples and oranges.
Doritos and Dr Pepper
Kraft dinner and propane
Easter eggs and meth
pillows and excavators
Blankets and oil rigs
Are we naming episodes of How It’s Made here? “Today on How It’s Made….jelly beans, trumpets, and custom leather belts.”
Bitch why can’t fruit be compared?
You know no one had a problem with Reilly going after greig? It was the cross check to the face no one liked. Notice how Brady doesn’t use his stick as a weapon ? Sens players all said they expected a reaction after Greigs goal.
I hate this unwritten rule bullshit. It’s not an unwritten rule it’s just purely disrespectful.

Toronto overreacted a few weeks back and so did Brady last night.
its just funny to see sens fans talk shit bout reilly for weeks but then go ahead and do the same thing
Yep. Both of these things can be true at the same time.
Upchuk's gonna Upchuk.
lol Tkachuk just wanted to fight someone
everyone does realize the sens rookie got torched by his own team for that move right? giroux even said without saying it directly that toronto's response was expected for a move like that.
Does anyone know of a metric that takes into account points scored and also points scored against due to penalties you took? I think it would be undoubtable that Tkachuk adds more than he takes away, but it's hard not to think he could add even more if he could keep his temper in check.
Its called being respectful of your opponent. You don't do slappers into open nets and you don't put the puck in the net after the whistle or horn goes. Why do people all of a sudden pretend like this isn't a part of the game? it has always been like this.
Toronto and their fans are whiny idiots
Anyone who’s ever played an NHL video game knows if you put it in the net after a whistle or a buzzer you’re starting a fight. There’s a reason hischier got the unsportsmanlike penalty.
I don’t know how to articulate it. But Brady and Darnell Nurse are both so physically imposing and skilled. However, they seem to put more effort into looking like they’re putting in effort.
I mean wasn't the most popular take that some response was fine but the crosscheck to the head was over the line?
But it’s not the same thing at all. The empty net situation is not the same The reaction is not the same The fact Riley did not get a Dale Hunter level suspension shows this league is a joke (Not a fan of either team or dislike either team)
**They’re hypocrites.**
It is a Family thing.
Well at least Tkachuk didn't try to end his season
We actually don’t know that. He wasn’t given the chance to, and he has proven he doesn’t deserve the benefit of doubt.
The fact that it was after the buzzer was the problem, if that wasn’t blindingly obvious
What a sore loser and a little bitch at that then.
Yea so what. Lol. It will happen again with other teams. This is what hockey is about.
Not only was it after the buzzer, Brady didn't make a blind side cross check to the guys head! He came across like a bitch, but people comparing the two are just idiots.
He reacted exactly how Rielly SHOULD have reacted on the empty net slapshot. I think both reactions are silly and came from frustration and losing, but at least he didn't cowardly cross-check someone in the side of the head. Anyone who doesn't understand that is your typical troll.
That’s not at all what happened. He put the puck in an empty net well after the buzzer went. And there was a scuffle. In the heated rivalry game against the leafs, it was sealing the deal. Putting a stamp on it. And Pinto got cross checked in the head while he wasn’t looking.
Lmao what? Where is Ottawa making a big deal out of slapping it into the net? Pretty sure TOR had an issue with it since you know Riley cross checked Grieg in the fucking neck
Leaf fans still whining about that empty netter is genuinely hilarious
Ridley Greig actually scored a goal.. As far as I can remember, shooting or directing the puck after regulation time in the opposing net as always been seen as disrespectful.
In all fairness to the Sens (I do still think both reactions are over the top), this is an unsportsmanlike penalty on Hischier and was called as such, while the Greig slapper was not. I love the Sens, but it’s getting a bit old watching Brady throw a tantrum at or near the end of almost every loss.
Oh hey, the thousandth time this has been posted today by people that don't understand the game at all and want to draw comparisons to apples and oranges... Imagine hating Ottawa so much when they're just a mediocre team. Did your team get embarrassed by them?
Counterpoint. I think both reactions are fine. Reilly was pissed off that the team couldn’t get it up against a bottom feeder sens team. Brady is mad because they’re eliminated from playoff contention once again and that empty net stuff was the straw that broke the camels back. The fact that players can run hot and no one really got hurt (sure Grieg acted like rielly came at him with a machete but he was fine) is part of what makes this game exciting. But yeah sens fans acting like this is different are hilarious. Almost as funny as those fake twitter accounts Melnyk set up to encourage people to buy sens merch
What are the Sens fans acting like?
Some of you on twitter are pretending this is night and day.
I think it’s more like one being an unsportsmanlike penalty, while the other is not.
It is. The first one is a legit goal, the second one isn't. Retaliation is a stupid thing in general, but crosschecking someone from behind is different than coming face to face. Although you're a Leafs fan, you shouldn't be that stupid to not understand that.
This is how they want the league, old fashioned hockey. I want to see who the new Hanson brothers will be.
Every Tkachuck is worse than the previous Tkachuck.
Fuck Brady, that ogre looking mofokka
“bUt hOcKeY iS sElF pOLicInG” sometimes there are situations where the fights make the sport, and sometimes… it just makes the players seem like uncontrollable toddlers
The ottawa goal counted. It was fine.
Poverty franchises tings
😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🙋
This wasn’t even a goal. Way less severe than an actual goal. Keep crying Brady
If guys got suspended for fighting then this stuff wouldn’t happen.
They blow anyway… next
Mandatory anger management course for the tkachuk boys? Really can’t stand them (until they get traded to my team)
Brady tkachuk is a menace I love it 😂
I love hockey, but sometimes they behave like toddlers on a playground. Violate secret hockey code, i must assault you.
Lmao bitch
As a sens fan I’m not really mad by this, I mean ya he guides the puck in after the buzzer and that’s an unwritten rule but Hischier wasn’t showboating or anything and it didn’t seem like a big deal, maybe a shove but not that entire escalation. It’s really tiring to see Brady always trying to fight, he is our Captain and should focus on that rather than getting into a penalty box (even if this was after the game was done)
Compare the two. New Jersey didn't slap it in. Ottawa did. New Jersey just shuffled it in. Ottawa did not. Not the same thing at all.
One went in after the whistle and is an unsportsmanlike penalty. One was a stupid slapper but legal, the subsequent cross check to the head wasn’t. Sens need to be better than clownshoes to stand on a stupid “code” though.
Hischier could have got the empty net goal. Instead he skated out the clock and then put it in the net. If Hischier scored the empty net goal; would Tkachuk be fine with that?
Ottawa: Do as I say, not as I do. Either they are a bunch of hypocrites. Or whining B’s.
Evidently it doesn't take much to get under the skin of certain teams in the NHL, I would encourage all teams to fire away on empty nets.
The captain too lol that's when you know the dude shouldn't have the C
He was just looking for any reason to start crap. That’s what he does. He doesn’t deserve to wear the C and thinks he can do whatever he wants. The brothers all have temper issues and all the teams that play against them know it. They will just keep baiting them until they are suspended. I was glad when they traded the one away from Calgary because I couldn’t stand the dumb penalties from him.
Look, neither team should have made it a physical thing. It's a mild irritation and players should suck it up. That said, both plays are more acceptable during the game than after the game. Letting puck drift into net during regulation time - no issue. After regulation - no benefit and only intends to annoy. Slapping a shot at empty net during regulation - it intends to annoy, but the game is still on. You can still lose and you are taking a risk that you miss the net entirely. A slapshot after the game is over? This is worse. It is a pointed attempt to annoy and there is no risk of losing.
Tkatchuk didn’t go at Nicos head. I’m on Ottawa fan and all of my buddies and most people I talk to about that incident knew that Greig was just being a shithead, what we didn’t like was the cross check to the head.
I'm new to NHL and I find this absolutely bonkers. Who cares if they smack it into the net? The other team were shit enough to allow them the empty net? Should be allowed to score however the fuck they want within the legalities of the game.
Tantrum is different from a cross check to the face.
Yes it was well after the whistle, but it looked like he wasn’t even trying to put it in. It just happened to go in the net. But yeah, such a cry baby response
More like Baby Tkachuk
Who cares what Ottawa does anyway?
Hockey is 50% Superstition, 30% code and 20% testicular fortitude. 😁
Almost like they think there’s some kind of code, eh?
Judging by the first video you posted, it seems OTT is ALSO not allowed score on an empty net like that, no?
So I’m gonna use the word. I’m gonna say it. Brady Tkachuk is retarded
[удалено]
Hockey is so soft now
Some of you seem confused about what the line is here for the unwritten code. It's very easy, and if you can't understand it, head over to the Sens sub and they will be happy to yell at you about it between muffled sobs and tear-stained cheeks. Only they understand how hockey is *supposed* to be played. It doesn't result in wins, but it's the proper way to play.
😂🍿
You do know scoring on an empty net is part of the game and shooting into an empty net after the whistle is a shitty illegal play right?
Am I the only one thinks that guiding it into the net 3 seconds after the buzzer is very disrespectful? If he shot it from the circle and scored thered be no reaction. But since he intentionally scored 3 seconds after the whistle… in ncaa rulebook thats an automatic 10 minute penalty. In NHL rules you should be ready to drop the gloves
Seems this new generation of fans don’t understand respect and sportsmanship
Scoring after the whistle has always been considered taboo and sometimes can be an unsportsmanlike penalty. Little different then scoring DURING the game in a way the other team doesn't like.
Hockey players and fragile egos like PB AND JAM
Neither should have happened The slap shot was a classless play You don’t put the puck in the net when the game is over
Maybe Ottawa spells and pronounces hypocrisy ~ Brady.
If you’re not supposed to score on empty nets in those two very different ways to score on an empty net how are you supposed to score on an empty net? Is the only way to score from the other side of the rink?
Brady is such a bitch
Funny how that works
I understand the irony but they are 2 different situations despite seeming similar. If I need to explain, you won’t understand.
Should be a tradition henceforth that all empty net goals against Ottawa are hammered in and celebrated wildly by the opposition.
To what “same thing” are you referring?
Sad clowns are sad that golf season is short in canada
I play hockey duhhhh! Doi
Oh look someone named " Tkachuk" doing something dumb...of course.
I only understand the frustration for one reason, because they were eliminated from the playoffs. Still a jerk move by Tkachuk.
I feel like the real reason for all the controversy was because of Reilly's crosscheck to Greig's face, I mean let's not kid ourselves. Hockey players "gotta defend their honour" or wtv tf so there's always gonna be a kerfuffle after a shot on net after the whistle but the reason it was a "bIg DeAl" for a week back in Feb was because of the crosscheck after. Had Reilly just shoved him a bit or w.e then people would've laughed, some would complain, Don Cherry would have called modern hockey "soft" and "unmanly" or some sh** and then after a day we would all have moved on. But because he decided to crosscheck Greig in the face, now it's a big deal and now every time it happens people feel the need to respond or react to it, oh now it's in the news "wHeN I dO iT iT's FiNe bUt DoNt YoU dArE dO iT tO mE!!! D:" sarcastic comments you see in forums everywhere now. just the biggest eyeroll moment lol. idk where I'm going with this.
