Morgan Rielly, Maple Leafs de Toronto
Rielly était une puissance légitime pour les Leafs lors de la mini-course de l’année dernière, donnant l’espoir que l’équipe avait enfin trouvé un joueur capable d’améliorer son jeu dans les moments critiques. Mais cette année, c’était un pas en arrière, puisque Rielly n’a réussi que trois passes décisives. Ses chiffres sous-jacents étaient corrects, mais avec l’histoire des séries éliminatoires à Toronto étant encore une fois un manque de buts opportuns, le manque d’offensive de Rielly était écrasant.
Mitch Marner, Maple Leafs de Toronto
Marner est devenu le paratonnerre à Toronto, ce qui signifie qu’il va probablement se faire arnaquer plus dur qu’il ne le mérite réellement. Il a réalisé deux jeux spectaculaires qui ont mené à des buts contre les Bruins de Boston, mais c’était à peu près tout pour lui offensivement, et il est juste de dire que l’ambiance était horrible.
Mentions déshonorantes: John Tavares a créé un vainqueur en prolongation, mais c’était à peu près sa seule véritable contribution au court terme des Leafs.
celui de Toronto Timothy Liljegren avait le pire pourcentage de buts attendu de tous les défenseurs ayant disputé plus de trois matchs.
Défenseurs
Infirmière Darnell, Oilers d’Edmonton
Morgan Rielly, Maple Leafs de Toronto
Brent Burns, Hurricanes de la Caroline
Matt Dumba, Lightning de Tampa Bay
Aaron Ekblad, Panthers de la Floride
Adam Fox, Rangers de New York
Mentions déshonorantes: Aucun d’Alex Pietrangelo, Shea Theodore ou Noah Hanifin, ajout à la date limite, n’a été aussi bon que les Golden Knights de Vegas l’auraient espéré lors de leur sortie anticipée. Adam Pelech a eu du mal avec les Islanders. Timothy Liljegren de Toronto avait le pire pourcentage de buts attendu de tous les défenseurs ayant disputé plus de trois matchs. Et même si on ne peut pas qualifier cela de décevant étant donné le manque d’attentes, félicitons Vincent Iorio de Washington, qui a joué exactement trois quarts de travail pour un total de 1:50 de temps de glace et a quand même terminé les séries éliminatoires avec un score négatif.

Mentions déshonorantes: John Tavares a créé un but gagnant en prolongation, mais c’était à peu près sa seule véritable contribution au court terme des Leafs. Corey Perry n’a pas encore fait grand-chose pour les Oilers. Kaapo Kakko a été une égratignure pour les Rangers. Et les blessures mises à part, Ilya Mikheyev n’était absolument pas un facteur à Vancouver.

That is impressive.
4 players mentioned from the Leafs which include Our #1 winger (Marner), our #1 D (Reilly), our #2 C (Tavares) and our young RHD (Liljegren).
Well if the rumours are true two are likely traded this off-season (Marner & Lilly).
Here for the Rielly slander, it’s time to move on and get someone competent in their own zone.
People won’t agree until it’s too late, but I’d be looking to flip Mo this offseason if the price is right. Wrong side of 30, and that contract isn’t going to age well. Not good signs for an offensive D that can’t run a PP, and has some of the worst defensive numbers since joining the league.
Compare that to some of the top pair guys on teams still left. Forsling, Ekblad, Fox, Heiskanen, Harley, Bouchard, Ekholm. Rielly doesn’t compare to any of them.
Would be nice to see them keep Mo hea been through the trenches at war with this team. Leafs longest serving player and once considered captain material. Would be a shame to trade him, would be the end of an Era. What could be a fair trade if it’s even possible? It just seems odd that we’re at the point of trading a very well-respected member of the team and community. We hear about players taking team friendly deals and being loyal to the crest. Would be nice to see a team loyal to a player after all these years of service.
This is some cheap, skin-deep analysis of Rielly, even for Sean at his most obstinate—oh, were his numbers OK? Riveting stuff—but it sure padded out that summer hockey story word count.
I’ve posted this elsewhere, but nobody in the core four was particularly good, though you can argue that Nylander showed up at least at the end.
[Marner had 3 points and was held pointless 4/7 games](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/player/mitchell-marner-8267/game-log?seasonYear=2024&seasonType=postseason)
[Matthews had 4 points, but was held pointless in 3/5 games he played](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/player/auston-matthews-4412/game-log?seasonYear=2024&seasonType=postseason), and had 3 points come in one game.
[Tavares had 2 points, and was held pointless in 5/7 games](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/player/john-tavares-6867/game-log?seasonYear=2024&seasonType=postseason)
[Nylander showed up near the end with 3 Gs, with points in 2/4 games](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/player/william-nylander-8368/game-log?seasonYear=2024&seasonType=postseason)
Contrast that with McDavid who had 12 pts in 5 games in the first round, Kucherov having 7 points in 5 games in the first round, and MacKinnon having 11 in 6 games in the first round.
The weird thing with the 3 kids is that they aren’t bad overall.
Marner has 50pts/57GP (.88 ppg), Matthews has 48pts/55GP (.87 ppg), and Nylander has 43pts/54GP (.8 ppg)
They are just inconsistent so they have games where they rack up points, and others where they just disappear off the score sheet for games on end in the playoffs. As much as I like great defense, hits and blocks, these guys need to lead the team and take over offensively every playoff game.
FWIW, Tavares is at 46pts/62GP (.68 ppg) with NYI and TOR.
Hopefully Berube will be able to get consistent high effort from them during playoff time.
I wonder which fanbase hated their disappointments the most.
Oh my god they’re calling us making it out of the first round a “mini run”. Can’t even hate, by our standard of success I guess it is.
I’m genuinely shocked by Reilly’s no show this series against Boston. All of game 7 I was waiting for him to show us what he’s got and he…didn’t.
It’s telling that ALL our big guys underperformed. There’s no way that they all « suck », or are « scared »…
There’s something rotten in that room and I have no idea if it’s the combination of players, the coaching style, or what…
The Morgan Reilly hate is stupid. He was playing 24 mins a night , which is by far the most on the team, with Lyaboosh as his partner, and was still +2 playing against the Bruins top lines. He only had 3 points but it’s not a D man’s fault the forwards aren’t producing.
Rielly needs a top pairing defenseman. It is crazy the guy has been here for like 12 years and has never had a genuine 1st pairing D partner. The closest he has had to a good partner was Schenn last year and lo and behold Rielly was fantastic. Giving him partners like Boosh and Brodie is not a recipe for success. Really hoping Tre can go and finally get Rielly a good player he can play with this summer
