ES my site tells me 18-8 but Rielly has a lot more ice time 1443 - 1016

.75-.47

Anyways, we'll see.

I think Gudbranson is better than his #'s due to the way he's used.

Same as Rielly is better than his #s IMO

I'm on nhl.com...

My problem with that is (1) Reilly was mostly used as a defense first role and that's not his game. He's an offensive guy. (2) gudbranson is nothing but a defense guy. I don't see how changing his role improves him since he isn't going to get more o zone starts.

Reilly showing he can score, he can get the puck up and out. Gudbranson can't score, can't get the puck out and can't skate. This is the exact type of dman that some fans saying leafs need (polak tinordi) but I'd think that this playoff would be showing people that slow skil less dmen aren't the answer. If you can't get out of your zone then you're going to spend longer playing in your own zone

Gudbranson is a person of great character, natural team leader. Very strong on ice and dressing room presence. But, he is not a #1 D. Reilly is a good #1 and you are right direct comparisons between the two are sort of apples and oranges. But, in fairness it should be noted Gudbranson is a lot more than Polak.

Stronger skater, more mobility. Better on ice presence.

I am thinking that Vancouver looks at the depth of the Florida D.They are very young and very good and they are thinking that Gudbranson is the guy that plays the number 2 position and has great influence over the team. Sometimes when you have a really great #1 a lot of his success is enabled by a strong #2. Seabrook is a really solid #2 to Keith as maybe the best example.

Great character could also be defined as somebody who does not spend time in one blog trying to convince a fanbase how fair and honest you are while simultaneously absolutely poopting all over said group in a different one.

I like stats.hockeyanalysis.com I find it breaks it down a lot better.

Anyways...if the Leafs had Ekblad / Campbell etc Rielly wouldn't have been used like he was...unfortunately for the Leafs he's the best we have and he got more pp/Es/PK then he would have on other teams

i think if Gund gets some time ( where he is used more offensively ) he will put up better #s - but time will tell, nobody is 100% on predicting.

I don't mind Polak as #6/7 but I hope Gud handles the puck a bit better than Polak. Polak is faster than he looks and isn't as bad as many make out......but at times he handles the puck like a grenade.

Absolutely. I had a couple of months between leaving the Fort Mac job and starting grad school so was able to dedicate lots of time to sourcing out the best deals on everything, plus do lots of things my self (wedding stationary, design centrepieces etc).

What helped immensely for the day, though not so much with cost, is that our Maid of honour is a chef (now head chef at Fabbrica in Midtown and awesome winner of chopped canada!) so she came with me to all of the tastings and helped design the menu with the hotel... it worked out so nicely

that's awesome. aren't tastings the worst?

Dude.

Fabbrica is in Don Mills.

That ain't midtown.

I grew up in Don Mills.

Nothing midtown about it.

(Great restaurant, though).

LOL. I was thinking College and Bathurst or soemthing like that. by the bar, the Midtown, maybe.

I dont think that anyone looks at a guy with poor numbers like that and terrible skating and puck handling and say let's give him more offensive opportunities. They got him strictly for his grit and toughness.


He's was outdone by polak (in less time) for (frank) sakes.

Both had 1 point 4v4, not sure there would be much more ES time maybe 3v3 ( doesn't show on that site )

Anyways, I'm not saying Gud>Rielly or vice versa just saying he was used more D wise as Florida has some very good D where as Van isn't as deep

But he's nit getting more offense in Vancouver, he can't play offense. And he's not good defensively.
