Player Discussion Morgan Rielly

[Doublerum1975]

Rielly seems like a player who has enjoyed such a long tenure and has so much job security that he's fallen asleep at the wheel of his own career. Sometimes you just go along with the flow and don't even realize how much you've slipped. Just an unacceptable level of complacency and motivation to him.

Or it’s the new coach telling him to play a certain way that doesn’t show his true strengths he hardly ever goes on rushes anymore

He's clearly been hurt by the Berube system, but he's also not been nearly as bad as some here are pretending.

He’s been mediocre for vast stretches under Keefe too. The only time he’s been elite was that one Tampa series which established him as some kind of playoff warrior.

It's like watching the Alex Nylander of D men out there. Maybe he has early onset something or other. Brain fog? No idea. Something.

I think he’s a guy who didn’t get better defensive development when he was coming up as a young player and coasted by with “weak partners” and playing a low discipline rush style. He seems like a guy who actually needs a back to basics about how to defend, read a play, two on one, etc.

Don't forget gang!! Enjoy the "unforced" Icings tonite, everyone! They're a joy to behold once you start counting.
Our whole D corps might commit 2 or 3 a game. Well - so does our boy Morgan all by himself!! Haha. Especially to start off a period. If we win a faceoff and he's on the ice, watch for the first play off the Intermission to be an unforced, "I never played hockey before",/ "Dude, the red line is RIGHT there!", Morgan Rielly special..!

Reilly's team worst -16 is exposing exactly who he is a defender. Tanev being a team best +16, MCcabe +13, OEL +9 is exactly who they are. Reilly is -16, the next guy is -4. Ud think a couple -12 or -10 would be there as it would be a team thing. It makes that -16 even worse.
