Conner's Erie hurt again. Another one of those. Bullshit. Bullshit. And to the point where it's not Austin Matthews, known came to his defense, but someone needs to sucker Mr. Greer. Like next year when you play

the Florida Panthers, there's a high, hard one coming at your chin, kid. Go yourself. I don't know what. Obviously, something had to have precipitated. It doesn't matter. That's screw you. Head first.

That's deliberate. Somebody should be absolutely cross-checking his front row out right there. And it wasn't as bad as the Austin Matthews, everyone's standing around like they're in a museum. But right now when he turns his head, cabambo. Screw you. I'll take 10 games. Should be ashamed of himself. That's bullshit around the league.

And the word came out yesterday right before a puck drop. It's a three-game suspension for Greer. whatever. Is it light? Is it what's light? Don't care about the suspension. That's because I believe in the player's letting it. Yeah. And as a player, somebody should have absolutely chopped his arm off or cross-checked him in the head.

Yeah, I sound like an old fuddy dutty and a jerk and fuck him. Yeah, cowboy justice, frontier justice for sure. He was kind of. That was a deliberate. Yeah. I don't care if you break your neck. Really? Yeah.

I don't know what the hell. Like, you're okay with this, hey Greer? Screw you. And I know you're saying that fellas take care of it. Don't worry about Department of Player's Safety. But we can also grade Department of Player's Safety. Coming off the heels of the Matthews one, this was a chance for them to get things,

I think, to a level where fans and teams and players want it to be. Like when your best player, Connor McDavid, is actively talking about like, we need to fix this. And they just now spin the wheel. Oh, it came out at three. what are we doing? And it's Florida's not making the playoffs. No, it's a lost year for the

It's a foreline. That's an absolute message. And it's a guy that, you know, has played a brand of hockey that I don't want to say he's reckless, but like he's on the edges. That's how he has to play to be in this league. You can send a message there. Could have could have been one of that. Oh, poor. No, it.

Because of that hit and the way he laid it out. And it's, it's AJ you really could have sent a message. Could have said eight games. Boom. 10 games, boom. I thought, that is such a dick move on Greer's part that I can't imagine his teammates are even,

we're like, dude, the fuck are you doing? Like, uh-oh. That's like, I get that we can. It would be go sit in the back row by yourself. We're not talking to you for a while. Like that, that's lack of respect in the game. I was going to say, you can slow, video down it looks a certain way.

That doesn't look any different to me in real time, slow-mo. It's 30. You, you crushed, you hit the guy to go head first into the boards. You accomplished what I think you set out to do. There's no mistaking that. No. And you guys are right. We should be pissed off at the players, like,

it's hard to get outraged and start yelling at them because they're, it's always been bad. It's spin the wheel bullshit, right? It's like, oh, what? But it's bullshit. Yeah. Like. And if McDavid has an issue with the Goudas and how they break down the hits and this, well, speak about this one too, Connor.

Feel free. Because this one to me is worse or as bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At least in the Goudest defense, you can just see things are happening so quickly that he's trying to get a piece and there's, it doesn't mean it's okay. But the Greer one, you understand that this is a place.

player in a vulnerable position. There's no need for the play. And you say, nah, doing it anyway. There's much more time for the hamster to run the wheel. Don't like it. Don't like it. And hopefully Zeri will be all right and get back in. He comes back and spears him in the throat, what I hope. Yeah. I felt it kind of felt bad for the kid because it was what last year had two injuries that. I don't think that's a major injury. No, I don't either. But it's really not of his own, not putting himself in harm's way. you're doing anything wrong. This wasn't cutting through the middle with your head down.

He was going to pick up a puck and got two-handed in the lower back into the boards. He got his leg broke on a hit last year. He's had some bad luck. And his game has kind of started to come around a little bit. But so hopefully he gets back in there sooner than later.
