Injury Report: Morgan Rielly out 8 weeks with a fractured foot

[Duffman955]

I'm not crying

I swear

 

[Ziggdiezan]

The hockey gods declared that for Matthews to stay healthy this season, the rest of the team would have to suffer injuries.

I mean let's not temp the hockey gods with further cruelty lol

 

[JoeyBeans]

update on Muzzin?

 

[Advanced stats]

If its any consolation, Colorado was playing way better when Rantanen, Landeskog, Makar, etc., were injured. Now that everyone's healthy they're playing like dong water

So don't give up hope, Toronto is still uber talented

I also wonder if this is going to motivate guys and make them dig deeper.

Wow that explains why he's played so poorly the last few games.

Injury happened in Panthers game, but apparently he had other injuries affecting him all season.

 

[Cor]

update on Muzzin?

Hasn't even skated yet. I would assume he's 2-3 weeks away at minimum

 

[X66]

Get through this week(only 3 games left) and hope Muzzin is back after the All-Star break.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Seriously f*** this season!

 

[Leafidelity]

Probably time to make a trade.

A lot of blame for this situation lies in management.

Thin back line . No depth. Or little depth. Winning is built from the net out IMO.

good luck the rest of the year with that D.

andy thought our D was weak before. Good luck.

 

[Merrrlin]

Rielly hasn't exactly been a difference maker this year...I think we can survive this injury.

We can survive a lot of injuries if Freddy plays like himself and not what we've seen over the past couple weeks.

 

[Kiwi]

What can you say at this point?

A bit of adversity can be good for a team, this is ******* ridiculous though

Let's hope Andersen pulls his head out of his butt or this is going to get bloody ugly bloody quickly

 

[On-the-Fly]

8 weeks means he may make the final 10 games of the season.

Reassessed after 8 weeks .... he may play a handful.

Any team that loses their top 2 dmen is going to look a lot worse without them.

 

[BlueForever75]

With Reilly gone for 2 months that takes us to the trade deadline. We place him on LTIR and replace him with another dman that can step in. At deadline trade Ceci for anything and Reilly comes back.

Probably best for him to rest for a couple of months anyhow. He's been injured all season long and playing injured. Better for him to rest up for playoffs.

Dermott - Barrie
Marincin - Holl
Sandin - Ceci

lmfao we ****ed

Sandin and Dermott are going to have a lot of pressure on them.

 

[Pandaman11]

Who's getting his PP minutes, aka who should I add to my fantasy team?

Thanks

 

[likecheese]

This is going to make us worse for sure but he needs the time off for his other issue to heal, whatever the heck it is (groin?)

 

[Legion34]

That's what happens when your GM builds from the forwards back instead of from the goalie out.

realistically what team looks good on paper after taking out 2 of your top 3 D?

 

[X66]

Barrie was already on the top PP unit, Rielly was on the 2nd.

He'll either be replaced by Sandin or Dermott, maybe even Holl.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

It amazes me to think how so many Leaf fans think defense is a joke and that any rook could do it. But it starts from the top and Dubie clearly has other idears.

Marincin. Pick him up soon otherwise someone will beat you to the punch.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Dubas should simply have gotten us 5 top pairing defensemen so we'd still be okay after losing 2 of them

I don't think many Leaf fans think that at all. Rielly's defence was a bit of a joke, though. We will miss his transition game, no doubt.
