Rielly has a terrible shot, he's only first in goals by defenseman on the team.

I agree. I dont hate him. He has been a good soldier for us. Just makes some mistakes he shouldn’t at this point in his career. And he needs to stop with the wristers from the point going high and wide... lol
- Hockey_Reverend


Yep, but honestly, its the coaches fault for putting him in a scenario he isnt suite for (PP1). Imagine thinking a weak wrister from the point on a powerplay was a good idea.

It's very simple. Rielly sucks ass on the PP...he's only third on the team in PP points.

Ah 10-4! lol

It's a PITA to have to register individually to go on each wait list but it's worth the effort (to me) if it gets me vaccinated faster.

- AdamFrench


He has 4 goals

Also, he gets his goals primarily off the rush where he excels due to his skating ability. He is not a good PP1 player.

We have too many poor shooters on the PP with Marner already there.

He has two more goals than Dermott. Wow, real power statement there.

I think Petie got it... he just doesn’t want any part of it...lol.

I could while away the hours
Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts are busy hatchin...

Or maybe in the land of Vikings he’s just an awful dandy-lion, a fate he don’t deserve.

actually, similar from fans perspective... but one underlying difference.

Murphy actually was awful when he played for the Leafs, and he was expected to be the #1 guy in all areas. By the time he left there was a trail of disaster painfully obvious about his defensive play...

Rielly does have brain farts, but he(Rielly) is generally much more engaged and reliable than people give him credit for.

Murphy was run out of town... but to a large degree he played very poorly in Toronto... everyone sings his praises after he went to Detroit... but take a look at the roster he joined there...

- BorjeFan4Ever

Murphy was far from very poor in Toronto. He was deemed as being slow, and nothing, NOTHING else mattered. He had 61 points his first year with the Leafs and still got boo’d off the ice.

right now, at the moment the Leafs don't have a single good powerplay player....

Keefe should at this point, just sit everyone down on the PowerPlay... put Simmonds in front of the net, put Holl and Spezza on the point and blast away looking for rebounds... let the stars watch for a game or two.

Keep trying the walmart site, each day.

When I got mine, I had been waiting almost 2 weeks from all the other pharmacies where I registered.

The pharmacist told me that they get very little warning when vaccines will arrie so they open up appointments fairly often.

I meant Leafs total power play points.

Bad joke, but it fits the 2 for 163 pp, narrative.

I’ve had a million people tell me I exaggerate a little too much.

They seem way to eager to give up possession for low percentage scoring attempts before you even factor in Riellys ridiculous floater attempts from nowhere and Marners behind the back passes to no one.

No puck, no goals.

I think the emphasis needs to be on patience. The idea that you have a full two minutes, all that extra space with all that talent on the ice. There's no rush, and there's no need to turn the puck over with desperately poor scoring attempts. If I'm Keefe I tell them to take one entire PP and do nothing but control the puck.

It's also 4 more than zero and good enough for 50th in the league among defenseman. The (frank) is your point. 😂

I would guess that 2/3 (if not more) of those points came on the powerplay... and the opinions very on his "ability" in Toronto.

Thinking he was going to live in anonymity in Toronto like he had in LA was clueless. The flaws in his defensive game were VERY exposed in Toronto.

Now how many of those were scored with that blistering shot that having 4 goals proves he has, and weren't tap from rush/pinch

That the Leafs don't have that John Carlson type of defenseman for the PP so why the (frank) are we talking about this? If Brodie or Muzzin were they would have done it. If Sandin is that guy then let's complain about it with some data. Rielly isn't the PP QB it's Marner and we all (frank)ing know it, so why are we poopting on Rielly? His PP numbers have died since Marner came on. He's the option, it goes through him.
