Depuis la perte de Reilly, les leafs ont marqué le moins de buts/60 de la ligue
Rielly's last game was Nov.21 so as of that date, we are down him, Brodie and Muzzin.
Here are NHL results since Nov.22 sorted by all situation Goals Against/60.

Coincidence?
😬
Rielly is really bad at defense… I can’t believe it’s a coincidence. Hope he’s learning something here
Lots to think about lol.
This is painfully true. The guys we’re running are less “skilled” and offensive but they’re more pure defensive players. Our front end is jacked up and having a solid and defensively focused group to back them up is proving incredibly valuable
Rielly is bad defensively, but I think a bigger reason is that Sandin/Liljegren/Giordano have been unbelievably good
The reason for this is literally in the chart and it’s not Rielly, it’s the goalies. The Leafs have the highest team sv% in the entire league in that period.
If Murray actually gives up the 6 goals he was expected to tonight they fall right into the middle of the pack.
The team is hot right now. I don’t think we need to start building a narrative that we’re better without Rielly because the whole team is playing extremely well over a pretty short period of time
My takeaway from this is that the Kraken must be scoring a ton of goals.
This time last year, Rielly’s Goals Against/60 was 1.65. Even better than our current overall rating.
Even with weeks of sitting out, Rielly still sits tied for 34th in assists this year. As a D. And we weren’t even off to hot start.
Make no mistake, we are a stronger team with Rielly on the ice.
Relax this is more Lily and Sandin stepping up to the plate than rielly is bad. Let’s not be dumbasses and create a problem where there isn’t one
rielly would make a good captain for the canucks. he is from there.
I think when Reilly comes back, the whole responsible defensive mindset the Leafs are using will rub off on him and he might let the offense come to him and aim for smooth entries instead of getting caught in the neutral zone
I never meant to imply Reilly is an issue or build a narrative. I just thought it was an interesting stat.
