[@chrisi1466]

They weren’t complaining that it was a hit to head, they think he slew footed him as he hit him which caused his legs to fly up and ultimately land on his head, which would %100 be a penalty.

[@jon8004]

@@chrisi1466 I see why people are screaming "slew foot" but if you examine the replay from the stands, he's coming directly at his shoulder. It's only after he makes impact that he bounces a bit off Reilly, and the impact moves his body to face the same way with his left leg moving in behind Reilly's. I don't see anything intentional there. People look at these slow replays, which can make things look intentional when they're obviously not. At full speed, it's pretty obvious that it's just a freak play. It's a clean collision, but I wouldn't have a problem if the ref wanted to call him for tripping or something.

[@MrBananaGiraffe1111]

It honestly looks like he got injured more from the fall than the actual hit, looked clean to me.

Yeah that was Roy’s complaint, he kind of unintentionally slew footed him causing him to land on his head. Roy wasn’t saying that it was a head shot he was saying it was a slew foot.

The hit was clean, hard and accomplished the task of separating man from puck... exactly how they are taught to do it.

No he didn't. He hit him shoulder to shoulder. Reilly's upper body was stopped, while momentum kept his feet moving forward. It's a very clean and normal hit, unfortunately landed on his head.

[@bigtrud]

@entheogenocide I agree hit was clean but he does put alot of weight on his elbow while player is already going down, which changes the momentum of hit from upper body to the head. You can see Greenway's elbow fling downwards once the hit is complete. I can see Roy's point

[@hellraiser8175]

No, his arms go down because they get caught on Reilly's lower body doing a pendulum motion with a greater force. It's simple momentum force physics

The problem is the glass, there's not enough flex to it and this has been a consistent problem in the NHL since the 90's.

What replay were you watching?? If it was a slew, wouldn't Greenway's foot have followed his leg forward? He hit him on to his back, Reilly's leg causes him to spin on to his side when he lands.

Hope he’s alright. But can we talk about Horvat for a minute cause what a leader!

Initial contact was clean, but the follow up is what was dirty. At 3:19 we are given a different angle of the hit where we can see Greenway following through the hit, his legs are caught behind Reilly's legs and Greenway drives his shoulder into Reilly's chest sending him headfirst into the ice. Watching back at full speed starting at 0:17 and at 0:20 you can hear the distinctive and sickening sound of Reilly's helmet hitting the ice. Per the 2024-2025 NHL Rule Book Section 6 - PHYSICAL Infractions - rule 52 - Slew-footing: 52.1 Slew-footing is the act of a player using his leg or foot to knock or kick an opponent’s feet from under him, or pushes an opponent’s upper body backward with an arm or elbow, and at the same time with a forward motion of his leg, knocks or kicks the opponent’s feet from under him, causing him to fall violently to the ice TL;DR: This was slew-footing and should have been accessed a 5-minute major and a match penalty and should be suspended for 2-8 games based on his suspension history, which I couldn't find much information on, and the severity of Reilly's injury.

[@colatrl.damg3167]

This imaginary slew foot is only visible in super slow motion, which is not reality. In real time, where the game is played, there's a routine check into the boards. The guy delivering the hit is also trying to stay up and makes involuntary moves in the process. Those micro-adjustments in nano seconds stretched out over 3 seconds in Super Slow Motion looks like conscious actions. Super Slow Motion is a lie. See the play in real time, correctly no penalty was called.

[@Hawaii96720]

thank you!! I was like...is everyone here blind?

[@jorgeore86]

You have to be trolling if you think that’s a suspension. He’s allowed to have his lower body positioned behind Reilly when making the check. I mean hip checks are worse than this and would be illegal under your logic. It’s called a follow through. What caused the injury was the landing. 99 out of 100 Reilly lands on his back. His momentum caused the awkward fall. The hit is 1000% clean hockey

[@michaelharris-2001]

You definitely can make body contact without trying to take someone out ​@jorgeore86

[@duane8829]

Dude you need to stop watching shit in slow motion. Life doesn’t really happen like that.

[@tylerslenk8243]

Greenway is a class act. Makes a beautiful clean hit then goes to check on him after he didnt get up.

[@JuandeFucaU]

Greenway's left thigh kinda slew foots Reilly's legs tripping him up but nobody's gonna call a slew thigh.

[@ObscureReference9]

Perfect hit

[@ChrisVbo]

Great hit. Clean! He shouldn’t be penalized for that

[@joedoggie9098]

They were complaining about a slew foot, not the hit itself

[@SabresGuy87]

didnt happen either

[@mydogcujo]

Not a Sabres fan, but that wasn't a slewfoot.

[@bpastorb]

@@SabresGuy87 3:32 what was Greenway left knee doing then?

[@vinokai]

Clean shoulder to shoulder hit, but I will say that Greenway turning forward towards the puck kinda did cause Reilly to fall backwards. As Greenway’s left leg was on the back side of Reilly during the hit, when he turned, his leg unfortunately was stuck behind Reilly, causing Reilly to roll over the leg and fall head first.

[@BigBoyScottieT]

Classy by the media person with the big ass camera standing right over him taking pics, props to the islander guy for blocking the view

[@claimguy]

It looks like Roy was trying to argue that Greenway slew-footed Reilly - placing his arm across his chest and kicking forward against Reilly's legs from behind, causing him to end up horizontal and falling to the ice. That, however, did not occur, any more than a hit to the head, boarding, charging or any other possible infraction. Super clean hit and the most unfortunate positioning in the fall to the ice.

[@mathieugougeon6198]

penalty for what????

[@Bishdab]

They waved the call

[@videogamenoob100]

to be fair for a player gets injured they should kick him out of the game to make it fair

[@mathieugougeon6198]

Yes i know but why roy was acting up

[@timothymacdonnell9079]

@@videogamenoob100what are you talking about? Are you talking about hockey?

@ no way

[@mediumdoubledouble9012]

Very clean hit, he got caught puck watching in his feet. You normally feel safe expecting the hit to push you into the boards. Greenway turned back hard and nailed him. This is hockey. Shouldn’t have ever been considered a penalty.

[@FCMC123]

No. Greenway took his knee into the player and flipped him onto his back with his arm. Thus slamming him backwards Very much like a foot sweep but higher. Video shows it. That’s a bad no call. It’s a sloppy hit.

[@richardprescott5939]

Insanity. If you can't throw that hit there should be NO hitting

[@SabresGuy87]

put down the crack pipe and pick up a hockey for dummies book lol

[@cyclnvancouver8060]

Looked pretty clean to me too. As I am presently sitting here recovering from a cycling related concussion, I am all too aware what a head injury can do.

[@jake9bates]

Roy and some of the players like Horvat were acting like babies. Horvat smacking his stick on the glass because people were standing up watching. Clean, hard hit with an unfortunate result

[@Irevoltnow]

I think that guy was filming it and that's why Horvat slammed his stick. I get that.

[@jake9bates]

@ I guess but photographing the game for a newspaper is also his job. In game cameras caught the whole thing anyway and zoomed in on him for everyone on tv to see lol

[@kelseywhitlatch173]

That hits clean. Just because the man gets hurt doesn’t change that. This is why they wear helmets and everything else it’s a dangerous game even when it’s played clean

[@chrislanemann9143]

It was a bit of a slew foot.

[@ObscureReference9]

grow up

@ great retort Dufus

[@SabresGuy87]

nope

[@marksmith5883]

What was actually more of a reason that Roy was upset wasn't the hit and the outcome, but the timing. Not too recently a teamate took really hard fast wrister from a distance that rose up and struck him right on the cheek. Dropped to the knees immediately after the force of the hit to the head elevayed him a bit while trying to get out of the way. Went to the bench immediately and the play was blown dead that way too. Buffalo player waved for helped from the bench as soon as it hit him. 2 guys gone in about 5 minutes or so.

[@JerryOrbachFan]

I'm a die hard Lightning fan who watches games all the time. That was a clean hit.

[@mattwebb8234]

Very clean hit. Reminds me of Backes checking Zettetburg and got a 5 minute penalty. Too bad that didn't get corrected like this one.

[@jasonguiboche9916]

Perfectly clean hit. Pity he got so injured though.

[@nicholaslouie7590]

Unfortunate but it was a clean hit. Wishing Reilly a speedy recovery. Love that Horvat whacked the glass to tell the guy to stop and to show some respect.

[@johnseibert3909]

One of the cleanest hits I’ve seen
