Morgan Rielly

[Tak7]

Would perhaps run Ekman-Larsson over him on the PP

Think the shorthanded goal, and the handful of additional shorthanded chances they gave up, played a factor in using 1D on the PP in OT.

Would personally have just thrown McMann or Patches in Tavares' place and kept the setup the same, but whatever.

Think the Mo-Carlo pairing needs a better night on Tuesday.

More than his terrible play on the PP, it’s that shitty clear on his backhand before the GWG that pisses me off. Just a weak and panicky play to cap off an overall bad game.

It was just the Tavares was out. Rielly is the easiest replacement in that moment without needing to do something on the second too. Plus with JT out, pushing another forward in there just means another double shift when guys are most tired.

And... The power play wasn't bad. Lots of control, chances, even hit the post. As good as with JT? No. Good enough to create chances that nearly ended the series? Yes.

McMann instead of JT, and Mo-OEL on PP2
