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

[SharksCyclops]

Who said Rielly is better than Orr...?

Or is it a narrative you're trying to start to bash Leafs fans...?

Did you just misread a comment that was supposed to be in favor of the Leafs?

 

[Dustin]

There's nothing historic about 5 game stretches. Can you name the best 5 game stretch by a goalie? Didn't think so.

Again. No one is required to post in here. More than a few people think it is quirky enough to have a discussion. You obviously don't so why are you here?

Lemieux's October record in jeopardy?

October 1988 - 11 games

16 goals
22 assists
38 points
3.45 ppg

Man. 11 games and 38 points. Could you imagine if that were to happen in today's game? People would go nuts.

 

[Canada4Gold]

yeah I mean just look at all the Flyers fans talking about the legend of Brian Boucher to this very day.

How come there's no whistle yet? Play should be stopped because you just moved the goal posts.

Have a nice evening. Though the Leafs are winning so I suspect you won't

what?

Most insecure fanbase in all of sports AINEC.

There was a thread for EP after he scored 2 points in his first game.

Brian Boucher, 2003-04

 

[wasunder]

Really impressive start for him. Had a good season last year too. I never thought he would be a #1 defenceman, but he's certainly proving me wrong.

 

[96]

#1D. Been sayin it for a while.

 

[96]

It’s official he’s better than Karlsson and Doughty lol

Mike Green 2.0 beneficiary of a stacked offensive team

Lol mike green was so good

If it was a Leaf people would be saying "were looking at one month records now?"

"So what if he broke the most points in a season? Since when do we track that? Does anyone even know who held such a pointless stat before a Leaf player broke it? No."

 

[Mattilaus]

What the **** does this even mean?

This main board is out of control with the unwarranted hate to all Leafs posters and Leafs threads.

Aside from the topic, do you think maybe this is because half the threads on the main boards every night are about the leafs? People get sick of things that are shoved down their throats regardless of what it is. People got sick of the threads about the blackhawks during their prime too.

On topic, this is great! He looks really good!

*Someone points out who held the record prior to that*

"Nobody remembers that guy"

For years and years Leafs fans had to sit through threads that absolutely shredded the team and fanbase. Which was spectacularly pathetic because people kicked down a franchise that was already miserable. This is just good old payback. If people don't like it, they don't have to come to the threads. I'd suggest people who want to whine to GTFO because these were the same people shitting on the Leafs fans not so long ago.

Karma is a bitch.

I'm sure that sucks but there is an ignore thread button there for a reason. Just saying. There's lots of threads that I don't comment in or on because I'm not interested in them. I'm not sure why others can't do the same.

He does look good so far. Should beat his total from last year pretty handily.

It still seems strange to me that the only defenceman to get off to such a hot start as Orr is Rielly 45 years later. That's just weird.

"Gretzky who?"

 

[Heldig]

Pretty cool. Leafs are off to a blazing hot start. I think most fans expected them to be an offensive powerhouse but this good? Will be fun to see if /how long they can keep it up.

Probably until Nylander comes back. Better trade him for other teams peanuts while we can.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He is the one impressing me the most from this Leafs team right now.


I doubt he keeps anywhere close to this pace(Obviously) but with this kind of start I'd say a 65-70 point season is easily attainable for him and that probably puts him right smack in the middle of Norris conversations when all is said and done.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Top 20 dman

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I remember when Will Butcher scored 8 points in his first 5 games.

 

[My3Sons]

PLEase. Ben Lovejoy is even in scoring with the reigning league MVP.

 

[Kevs Security]

Bet next season there'll be a defenseman with this kind of flaming hot start and Mulletman opens a thread about him threatening the late great Morgan Rielly's record...

 

[WilliamNylander]

If he keeps picking up 2nd assists like this he's gonna get Norris votes

 

[Karl Eriksson]

I like my d-men to play defense
