Tyson Barrie and Morgan Rielly saw a couple shifts together towards the end of the Vegas game. Friedman said the Leafs outshot Vegas 7-0 during the time Barrie and Rielly were paired together.
I just don’t see what we have to lose with pairing them together for a few games.
Rielly and Ceci have been a very poor pairing.
This sounds like an adjustment or change, something that Mike Babcock doesn't believe in.
If anything he will sit on Rielly - Ceci for 25 games despite it not working out and people clamoring for a Rielly Barrie pairing. Then he will make it happen for like 5 minutes in a game until they make a single mistake and use that as a "see, told you so" moment and revert.
