Morgan Rielly Appreciation Thread.

[meefer]

Just an acknowledgement that this fella is good and getting better.

 

[I Believe]

Matched last years goal total in 14 games.

For me the biggest step I've seen in him this year is how easily hes been separating man form puck. Just a joy to watch him do that then jump into the play!

 

[Duffman955]

He has significantly improved his game every year.

For me he looks much more calm and quiet. No panic. Not missing coverages where you see him late to the play on the wrong end of highlights.

Picking his spots better. None of those pointless rushes to the outside that result in a perimeter shot or where he circles the back of the net.

No doubt #1 dman.

It was weird defending him in his down year in 2016-17 but glad to see he's showing his full potential.

Agreed that thus far he seems to just read the game much better. I guess things have slowed down for him.

Watching him develop has been a joy.

He's a legit number 1 d-man.

 

[7even]

On pace for 93pts.

I say he does it.

Your thread on the mainboards sure is getting a lot of salt.

He was a legit #1 last season and he looks like he’s improved his overall strength and shot for this season. If he keeps it up he will be in Norris contention. It’s been a while since we could say that and be serious. Feels good man

 

[Mitchy]

On pace for 93pts.

I say he does it.

With that type of offensive talent, I think we should put him on the wing.

 

[Melo Meds]

Morgan's defensive play has really improved. The guy is a bull and is so strong and such a good skater that it allows him to really create space out there once he gets his legs moving. I've always been a big fan of his. He'll probably never have an elite shot but he's definitely worked on it over the years. Made a prediction that he would hit 60 this year but if he keeps this up hell blow right threw that! He's become the legit number one dman that we've needed for a long time now.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Great player at both ends of the ice and he's only 24, best years still to come... hopefully he'll have a few cup rings and Norris trophies to his name one day.

Also think he deserves the C on his sweater.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

On pace for 93pts.

I say he does it.

Oh ho i hope you are right. His minutes and use now give it a shot for sure.

Nice to have our own developed Brian Leetch)

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

elite #1 dman. he needs more ice time, but he's so damn good

 

[7even]

Your thread on the mainboards sure is getting a lot of salt.

He knows what he did.

 

[Shayne Corsi]

Everyone keeps debating whether it's Tavares or Matthews who ultimately gets the C, but I think it's this guy. In fact, I hope it is.

 

[TMLeafs17]

What a gem.

 

[mulefarm]

No doubt he should win Norris!

 

[diceman934]

In Morgan I trust and have since he played Bantam Hockey..

Other then his Dad I was likely the most excited person when we drafted him. He is a gem.
