Morgan Rielly

[The Shadow]

He wasn’t great but he did get a lucky deflection goal. That giveaway cannot happen

 

[Carltons Cup]

Rielly looks like he needs to shed about 15 pounds. He's slow AF out there.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Rielly had trouble last night .. Sens speed exposes his game play .. so he realized he can't rush up but then he has no D game to fall back on .. Carlo may not be able to save him .. this guy needs to be carefully managed by Berube

He looked good night, hopefully the playoff Mo we know and love is here to stay. Good early signs.

He actually did. Especially down low in our end. That giveaway was bad, while he was put in a terrible position on the ring from Willie he should have just pushed it back deep, and everything else was pretty good. It's interesting, I think some people just don't want to be all that happy as a Leaf fan. That was a great win and we did a lot of things a good playoff team does, but we gotta 1) find something and 2) we hate giving up on someone we've been berating. There's a long line of people over Leafs history, specifically defencemen, that get the Rielly treatment and it's unfortunate.

Not sure I agree. But I like the sound of it!

Rielly has been great this series. Carlo may have saved his Leafs career. Because they make a great duo, and I have confidence seeing Mo on the ice again now.

I don’t still has trouble making simple passes but Hes got the of the Irish now in terms of the 2 flukey goals he scored

+45 feels more impressive when you take into account the Leafs as a team are only +2 at even strength over that stretch.

Definitely started playing better ever since Carlo’s arrival. That was such a big addition by Treliving not only addressing the need of a RHD but someone to help elevate Rielly’s play.

Playoff mode Rielly has arrived. He’s looked good out there again.

Quickly/roughly ...

He's in the top 5 scoring per and top 11 for points in the playoffs.

Now if you filter with minimum games played he's much higher.
Say, minimum 10 games played.
Active players he's 2nd. in goals, 7th. in PPG.

Regular season 150 games played, he's 14th. in points per game, G/PG 61st.


scoring per game since 2021.

If you want points per game since 2021.

Your right, my initial numbers were from 2022. Second guessed myself there. Corrected.

i rather another defensive D in the mold of carlo, mccabe, and tanev.....and spend most of rielly's 7.5 on a legit 3C

Absolutely. He has to go to make the numbers work

I think that's a bit of selective stat picking there... if you go by points over the last 4 playoff years, and give a minium of 10gp, he's tied for 4th with Hedman, behind Makar, Bouchard, and Fox.

He's played 28 games over that time, whereas Makar is at 40, Bouchard 55, Fox 43, and Hedman 35.

That being said, I think it might be more worthwhile to consider his entire playoff career.

60 games played, 13 goals, 43 points. A .22 goals per game pace, and .72 point per game pace.

Much is made of forwards like ROR who have higher production in the playoffs than the regular season... but Rielly's regular season stats are .1 goals per game and .59 points per game.

His assist numbers remain reasonably consistent regular season to playoffs, but his goalscoring doubles.

In any defensive group, you need balance. +/- is far from a perfect stat, but if we take these last 5 years, there are only 6 defencemen with a positive +/- in the playoffs for the Leafs.

-Morgan Rielly at +15
-Luke Schenn at +8
-Jake Muzzin at +4
-Ilya Lyubushkin at +3
-Chris Tanev at +2
-Brandon Carlo at +1

I don't think it's a coincidence that 3 of those 5 have been guys that have been "stapled" to Morgan Rielly.
You need balance in a defensive pair. You can't put Benoit and Carlo out there together as a pair and expect success.
