Player Discussion Morgan Rielly

[ULF_55]

Take the points and run.

+3

Either everyone else in the league has got faster or ...

Let's hope he can start digging himself out of it. Leave your family at home bud, you're paid to win.

He had perhaps his best game of the season against Boston, a big contribution when Tanev went down.

I would have given him the belt just for playing 27 minutes.

He’s playing better recently which is great. His lack of defensive awareness and soft play in his own end still concerns me in a hotly contested playoff series. His tendencies are well known.

How bad can Morgan Reilly get before he starts getting criticized hard in the media?

Guys a magician. He isn't even a serviceable Dman right now.

I believe since him and Berube had a sit down at the beginning of March about going back to his regular game style, Rielly is tied with EK for most points in the league from a defenseman, and is a +3.

It's a good thing we didn't 'buy him out' I suppose, that was a close one.

It’s only allowed in the off season. They might still do that. He’s still a shit show in his own end.

It's roughly a 75 point, plus 30 pace over 10 games since Chief stopped jamming him up - more than enough for top 10 in the league territory.

How much better do you think he needs to be to avoid being 'bought out' in the offseason so we can avoid a 21M cap hit?

I like the offense lately - but he's still avoiding much more work out there than he's engaging in willingly. That’s always the rub for Morgs.

He's still the unforced icing king, lol.... and his slow skates back to retrieve pucks - while he looks at his partner to go get it for him - are hilarious, if they weren't so sad.

Woof. Another -2 against Vegas - and he and OEL are looking scary (bad) as a duo again. Cmon Mo.. ain't you tired of this shyt??

I’m disgusted with our supposed number 1

Last night I honestly had a do a double take at some of the horrible decisions he was making on the ice.

There is no doubt Rielly's name is on the whitelist for Toronto Media - off limits for any clickbait articles, he's far too liked around the city for any non-positive articles to be written about him. As of now he is hands down the biggest problem on this team this year and somehow it's never even talked about.

Who else had this level of protection? I can't even think of a player that was this bad and the media ran cover for.
