Morgan Rielly's fate was confirmed today by the NHL's department of player safety. After his ruthless cross-check on Ridly Greig, he will face the consequences.

After Greig broke the hockey code with a slap shot on an empty net, Rielly had no mercy and viciously cross-checked him to the head.
While public opinion has aggressively differed on this topic, from some believing Greig should be suspended for his disrespect, to others believing Rielly should be kicked out of the league entirely (both insane takes), it appears the league has found its balance with this suspension.
