What is your reaction to Morgan Rielly’s in-person hearing with the DoPS?

Keefe: Surprised just given we have spent a lot of time watching almost every cross-check that has happened in the last number of years. The ones that I thought were similar in nature to Morgan’s were nothing close to requiring that.

At the same time, I think there is a history of events that happen in Toronto and with the Leafs that get more attention and more hype.
