Hopefully Rielly learns from that mistake he made late.
Not like it really matters as far as the fact that it cost his team the game. In fairness to him, he doesn't screw up like that too often. Luke Schenn used to make mistakes like that constantly.
Anyway, the Leafs were far and away the superior team until Nick Spaling - piece of trash that he is - whacked a Rangers player with his stick for literally no reason whatsoever, putting the Rangers on the PP and halting TOR's momentum.
This guy is as bad a player as I've seen play for TOR... right up there with the likes of Clarkson, Wallin and Mike Craig.

Reimer should have started tonight. Easy game against the tired Rangers; he deserved a chance to bounce back with the rest of the team.
They must be "showcasing" Bernier lol...

For the second straight game, the Leafs did one goal better than I predicted.
I picked them to lose 7-1 to CHI and they lost 7-2. I picked them to lose 4-1 tonight; they lost 4-2.

Considering the large number of games played by Reimer recently, your last sentence is just wrong. Why the obsession about our goalies? Neither are worth it.
Too be honest he was never really challenged much. I wouldn't peg any of the goals as his fault, but I don't recall him making any big time saves either. Conversely Raanta did make them. I would classify his game as, meh.
I can't help but feel Rielly and Holland would have a LOT more points not playing with scrubs.
See Holland's pass to Grabner in the second period that Grabner failed to convert on? This guy creates chances like crazy for a player who plays with garbage. I hope the Leafs don't move him. I'd like to see what he can do with guys who can play.
Rielly sets guys up for tips/re-directions and rebound chances constantly and the stiffs manage to do something other than scoring.

Rielly plays 1 game without Hunwick and he was the best possession player in the game by far.
That late game turnover wasn't pretty but other than that, great game kid.

Rielly played a strong game until the game-away. It sucks that he was the one that coughed the puck up late since he hardly does that, but at the same time, it's better for him to have done it in a meaningless game than a meaningful one. He'll learn, I'm sure.
Spaling, on the other hand, is incorrigible. This idiot is like a one-man tank crew. A team that's destined to miss the playoffs should offer up a second rounder for him just for his tank value alone.

"I'm Nick Spaling. Some say I suck. I'm going to randomly high-stick this guy and put my team down five on three. That'll show 'em."
For some weird reason I dislike Hunwick as much as any player to ever don the Blue and White, yes Rielly except for that gaffe tonight looks very powerful and talented without that clown Hunwick dragging him down.

Leafs defense looked as good as it has all season.
Really haven't weakened it with the changes.

Moves smooth for a big guy and has some good speed.
Didn't look out of place at all - that's for sure!

I continuously reiterate, that I believe Rielly has Karlsson-like offensive potential, and I will stand by that for a while. There's so many times he just blows by guys, sets up chances and nobody can finish them. He's even developing a one timer and slapper now from what it seems. Without Hunwick bringing him down, he dominated in possession.
Yeah, I agree. He creates a LOT offensively. It really is unfortunate that he's playing with a bunch of plumbers currently. Otherwise he'd have at least 8-10 more assists easily.

I'm not a Hunwick fan, but I HATE Nick Spaling. Have I ever mentioned that?
Nick doesn't get much appreciation for what he does do. He's an excellent PKer, FO and shutdown 3C. Should be no problem finding a taker needing a bottom 6 upgrade for a mid round pick.

Was at the game tonight and Rielly definitely looked like the best skater on the ice for both teams. He can go 0 to 60 faster and has a whole extra gear most guys don't. I was super impressed seeing him live
