Morgan Rielly breaks Bobby Orr's modern points record for the first 5 games in a season

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Update: He’s surpassed it.



With his 12th point in 5 games, Morgan Rielly has passed Bobby Orr for the best start offensively by an NHL defenseman through his first five games.

[Mod] According to the NHL, the record is actually 15 points in 5 games by Harry Cameron, of the Toronto Arenas, with 9g 6a for 15 pts in 1917-1918 season.

Bobby Orr was second with 11pts in 5 games, which was broken by Rielly tonight. A historical start for the young Toronto D.

The Modern era for the NHL is considered post-World War II.

Killing it!

Incredible, he’s always been underrated. Obviously not Bobby Orr but he’s a great player

 

[LeafFever]

I was telling all of you the past year he is horribly underrated on here.

 

[Frosty415]

Could he win the Norris?

 

[LeafFever]

BTW, he's #1 in scoring and he plays horribly tough defensive minutes.
He's without a doubt a true #1 D.

 

[NextYear67]

This board told me he's not a #1 D though

 

[Halla]

absolutely incredible start. 11pts in 4 games and a period...

how long until someone comes and says "does this really deserve a thread?"

lol

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

unreal player

Calvin Dehaan is better. I will never forget that from this summer.

Anyone who watched him last year knew how good he was. Only 2 other guys produced 50+ points and 95+ percentile QoC, Doughty and Hedman. He was in elite company but somehow HF always told us Dumba was better lol.

Rielly is an elite dman. Glad you and so many others have proven to be right

 

[KyleSeaBass]

But muh Dumba!

well lets not pretend the leafs have been strong defensively through 5 games.

 

[jetsforever]

Wow

The interesting thing is, so many DMen HF claims are far better defesnively are playing sheltered minutes.

 

[dubey]

Thanks Burkie and every team that let him fall to 5!

 

[LeafFever]

And what does that have to do with him?

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

another one!

 

[Jozay]

Great start for him.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Gotta say it, but he's the best from that draft.

Exactly. Made no sense. Guy also drags around Rob Hainsey’s corpse around playing against McDavid, Seguin, etc best of the best night after night. He’s insane

 

[LeafFever]

Sorry HF but he's one Leaf player NOT overrated.
I have been told countless much worse D are far better by so many of you.

Rielly is the one “I told you so!” Leafs fans should point at anytime anyone says a Leaf is overrated. I saw people say Dumba, Barrie , Ristolainen (this was especially insulting), Muzzin, and other 2nd pairing guys are better than Rielly.

 

[Dustin]

What a start. Have to assume that he will beat his previous total for points this season.
