No for real, even though I didn't get to see it, the idea of Morgan Rielly crosschecking someone in the neck out of anger just screams that he's at a breaking point. That'd be like Willy punching someone in the face, unprovoked. Or Mitch slamming someone's head into the boards on purpose. It just doesn't happen unless something else is going on.

And I don't defend cheap-shots like that (no, not even when my guys do it), but it's hard to pretend like I don't understand why he did it.

I'm not a doomer by any means, but it feels like everyone on this team is teetering very close to the edge of insanity.

#like yeah mo gets scrappy sometimes but he does it within the normal parameters of hockey. he doesn't do this.#especially not over an empty net goal no matter how obnoxious it was. he's annoyed and he's angry and - frankly - i don't blame him #this team is being carried by 4 guys and that's unfortunately just not good enough #morgan rielly #toronto maple leafs
