“To play 27 f–king minutes tonight for Morgan Rielly, having the night that he was, is just egregious by the coach as well”

Rielly would be a number 5 or 6 Dman on any other team but on the leafs he is number 1 D man this very bad coaching and bad managment he needs to be in the press box untell he will take a trade or sent down to the minors
What on earth was he doing for the OT winner
It pissy me of when the coach says he has been good for us no way he is the worst player on the team and has been that for years
If TOR can not trade him make him a forward because he is NOT a defenseman!
Fire Treliving and Berube ASAP!
Morgan Reilly should be delivering pizzas for a living… not playing in the NHL
He is the current Jake Gardiner…and you’re right, as much as this is on him, it is way more so on Berube.
Game had to be fixed with his ot play
What are you talking about? Rielly has never been good defensively. He is not going to suddenly turn that around at this point in his career. So there really is no conversation, he is just poor defensively.
It’s by design by Berube. He’s trying to tell them this is not an acceptable #1 defender, trade him.
He was really bad lol. Looked terrified of the puck too
So I guess you’re over beating up 34 for a while because he got a hat trick vs the last place team but 44 is still the whipping boy.
They have to put him out there because there isn't anybody else lol
I've always been a Mo supporter..I thought he should've been captain when JT got it, but I've completely lost all faith in him the last couple years..ya he puts up points..but he can't defend and his foot speed has gone down the toilet.. pretty well every goal that gets scored against the Leafs, he's on the ice..it's totally un playable. I realize he's been the teams number one defencman for years now, when he's not a top pairing d man to start with he's a good 4-5 guy, but what do you do when you have no one else? Tanev, McCabe keep getting hurt..but why don't they give OEL the 27 minutes and top PP minutes? He's had a hell of a season…. something has to give here, they need to move on from Mo, but of course he has a NMC with 5 years left at 7.5 per….how you gonna trade the guy..unless you pull a NYR and threaten to send him to the marlies maybe that's the only way..and then your not gonna get overwhelmed with an offer..maybe even salary retention..not looking good..They haven't had that true number 1 dman since maybe Kaberle and idk if I would even consider him a true number 1 elite dman 🤷🤦
Okay, given all of the injuries to the Toronto D core, who are you putting out there, Coach?
They guys he has had as d partners have more minor league games played than NHL. Played good with Carlo and EOL but let's stick Myers with him or some other bum and it's Morgan's fault. SMH grow a brain.
He should be sitting in the press box. He has been awful
He is on decline, been in league since he was 19.
I’ve been saying this for years – he is the most unhappy person to ever to put in a leafs jersey !
He shoulda been put to pasture the same time as Jake Gardiner
Well maybe the Coach has begged the GM to move him and the GM refused,so I'd agree with the Coach.( Ok fine, you don't move him? then I play him until you move him ) Btw He has played like this for years. I'm sure his signing is what makes Kyle Dubas fall asleep with a smile every night.
I don’t know why he won’t take the body😢
Useless as usual…when hasn't he been useless!
Reilly was brutal..
He has lost a gear.
Please get rid of #44 as soon as possible, I've been asking for this for 5 years. Please somehow get rid of him.
He can't spell D
Slo-Mo needs a change of scenery, and the sooner the better.
He's true to his commercial… Top tier lay down defenseman
Put the Leafs in the AHL and bring up the Marlies, I dont think they can do worse
Berube is nuts. Sit Reilly and the Leafs may get to 1st place.
After he got walked by a teenager for the game tying goal I was floored that he was on for the subsequent faceoff
He cant run a power play and can't defend, he's sucked for years
He doesn't have it any more, definitely should be demoted.
This is first of all on the Leafs management, because they should have traded this guy a long time ago! By the way, it`s not just this game – he is horrible almost every night! His defensive coverage is a joke!
Not one player on an opposing team has any concern about playing agaist Reilly, especially when he's in his own end. That's not a top 4 dman in the NHL… full stop
He's not wrong at all …
Dude is so obvious and yet still let it ride. Ruined mathews night. Put him forward fuck he cant play d but can get points.
