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

[King Mapes]

Lol a mod making a post like this too, dear Lord only a Leafs fan.

It's true. Everyone knows the Norris doesn't go to the best Dman. How many times has a Dman put up stupid point totals and won?

Who plays Defense not offense

Defensemen (which is a position) contribute to offense and defense in the sport of hockey.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Grats to Rielly on the hot start!

But he's not a #1D.

I know this for a fact, because all the posters around here from other teams have said so.

 

[Foppberg]

Leafs are f***in' scary offensively.

Defense is their achilles heel though.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Amazing accomplishment. Maybe Rielly's name won't be misspelled anymore.

We can't expect miracles now

 

[King Mapes]

Leafs are ****in' scary offensively.

Yeah it's insane. Even before the contract situation I said Nylander should be traded for D.

 

[Foppberg]

Yeah it's insane. Even before the contract situation I said Nylander should be traded for D.

I mean.... How they're doing right now without him, trading him for a solid top 4 Man seems like it'd be smart.

So hopefully they don't.

Will Butcher did it in his first ever NHL games on a non-powerhouse offensive team.

5 games of the season we talking about here, lmao. Gimme Will Butcher's first 5 games.

Rielly has had an unbelievable start but Im trying to put things into perspective here from the insane uproar going on lol.

That's really great for Will. Not sure if you heard though Rielly just had 12 over the same period of time. See 12 is a greater number than 8. Now I'm glad I guess you're such a big fan of Will but this is a thread about how Rielly just did what we're talking about. You know you should go start a Will Butcher thread. I'm sure people will love it too.

 

[Luminiferous]

Great start to the year. I would have thought some other player would have snapped this. Few players have been vehemetly dumped on harder than Rielly, around here. I see no reason to see a fall in points. The Leafs PP is like clockwork, on all fronts.


Always pathetic when toxic losers feel the need to come in and "ground" leaf fans. Gotta keep them in cheak. Lmao. Truly pathetic. Credit where credit is due.

Thanks for the updates to the post and title Mods.

Just had to get that second part in, eh?

I mean.... How they're doing right now without him, trading him for a solid top 4 Man seems like it'd be smart.

Ya, trading him for a top 4 dman like Larsson would be a great move!

Hopefully the answers come from within the org.

 

[WillTheThrill]

This thread basically only Leafs fans saying "I TOLD YOU SO! HE NUMBER 1 DEFENDER! YOU DIDNT BELIEVE!"

EDIT: And have to say that it is a very impressive feat! Though we still only talk about 5 games. Sam Gagner scored 8 points in one game.

Lmao why is Sam Gagner always the guy brought up?

Why is that a problem?

 

[Critical13]

Why is that a problem?

It's not

 

[WillTheThrill]

Great, now Leafs fans will start comparing Rielly to Bobby Orr now...

But I do believe at this point, with his teammates it gives him a good shot at getting nominated for the Norris.

Better than comparing Laine to Lemieux lmao

 

[Dustin]

In the 1985-86 season Coffey had 4g 6a for a total of 9 points over the first 5 games. He went on to score 138 points that year.

Had anyone asked me before who had the most points over their first 5 games I would have picked him.

It's not wrong. And nobody said Larsson, that'd be a stupid trade. But if they can move Nylander for a solid young top 4 Dman? I think that'd be very smart.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Better than comparing Laine to Lemieux lmao

That's something I've never done. It's much better to compare him to Ovechkin or Bobby Hull.

 

[Cleatus]

Lmao why is Sam Gagner always the guy brought up?

Because every highly skilled Leafs player who doesn't play a physical game is compared to him.

Therefore; Morgan Gagner.

 

[Holymakinaw]

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

LOL. He never said anything remotely close to that. What is wrong with you?

 

[Critical13]

It just made me laugh. Like going to a party and having someone say "You look good...for your age".

Larsson was a young top 4 defenceman at the time of the trade. Who did you have in mind, out of curiosity? Maybe link me to your response in the Nylander thread so we don't go off topic.

 

[LeafChief]

Morgan Rielly is the Sam Gagner of defence.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Rielly is a top 10 #1 dman right now.

 

[BAM]

>Montreal
>Ottawa
>Chicago
>Dallas
>Detroit

What do they all have in common? None of them were playoff teams last year.

let's see if he can keep this up against actual good teams.

Leafs don't make the schedule

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Orrgan Rielly.

I'll see myself out.
