At the end of last night's game versus the Ottawa Senators, things got a bit chippy in the nation's capital. With about five seconds left in the game, Senators rookie Ridly Greig decided it was a good idea to take a slapshot into the Leafs' empty net from a few feet out.
Morgan Rielly took exception to the gesture and will likely be suspended as a result of his actions.
This morning, the Senators decided to rub their victory in with this post.
The Senators made it a point to use the picture of Greig scoring on the empty net and called his goal a "slap-away goal".
The Leafs faithful were quick to fire back at the Senators flooding their replies expressing their concerns.
With that win last night the Senators moved to 21-25-2 which is good for last in the Atlantic while the Leafs fell to 26-16-8 and were passed by the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Leafs currently sit at 4th in the Atlantic and have the first wild card slot.
