A number of events transpired soon after.
The NHL announced the launch of an official investigation into the matter set to determine if; a) homophobic language was indeed used at all during the game and, b) it came from Rielly, or someone else. The Maple Leafs then released an official statement of their own from Kyle Dubas, condemning the alleged use of the slur and announcing their intent to fully cooperate with the league’s investigation to the extent that they see fit. At the same time, online outcry hit a fever pitch.
