Equipment changes have made it easier to score. You can't compare the mattresses that were in net then.

05/06 was like one of the highest scoring seasons in the past 20 years, if not the highest

Hmm, anomalous season? There were a couple crazy ones if memory serves. Was pretty sure that was a low scoring era.

Tied for 7th all time so far:

1) 76-77 - Ian Turnbull -    80    22    57    79

10) 80-81 - Borje Salming -  72     5    61    66

**** Ballard and Salming/Turnbull were beasts.

 

[sxvnert]

At the very least he should pass salmings 71 point season in 79/80 putting him 5th overall.

 

[sxvnert]

After 448 games (six seasons) Salming had 360 points. Rielly after 458 games has 238. Not bad given the difference in eras. If Rielly signs an 8 year deal after this he'll easily become the leafs all time points D.

 

[zeke]

imagine babs gave him real PP time.

He's going to set the even strength records easily.

Wow, his stat line reads as almost identical to McCabe's; he just has one less assist in three less games.

Btw, I love how on the main boards everyone is ripping his "near AHL level shot", just because he doesn't shoot slpashots, especially when he is leading defensive goal scoring with 19.

Does this look AHL level to you guys?

Lol cmon, those were the highest scoring seasons since the early 90s.

I haven't looked in depth tbh. I do know 2012 - 2017 scoring was down and pretty consistent. The changes were made and scoring rocketed the past two years.

This is true, but the early 2000s were also a dead era. Kabby and Mcabe had those seasons right after the red line was removed if Im not mistaken.

Yes, that's the year where power plays were given out like candy.

Well let me put it this way:

Rielly '19: ES 19:07, 17gls, 49pts / PP 2:33, 2gls, 18pts
McCabe '06: ES 16:27, 6gls, 19pts / PP 7:29, 13gls, 45pts
Kaberle '06: ES 16:06, 2gls, 16pts / PP 7:32, 6gls, 51pts

Pretty funny that a guy with a muffin shot is leading NHL defensemen in goals scored by 20%

I mean kinda, he had all day to wind it up and it still wasn't a very strong shot. I don't think it matters though, Rielly's become an incredibly smart shooter. He doesn't need a big shot when he's able to position himself and use screens effectively. His wrist shot is good enough to do damage from the space he creates for himself.

If he had the threat of something like Franson's half-clapper, he's be flirting with 30 goals right now.

No it was a high scoring era.

 

[thewave]

No it was a high scoring era.

Others pointed out the red line and high amounts of PP.

He worked on his shot the whole summer apparently. It was a big part of his training.

He'll never have a brute force shot like a Brent Burns or f***in like Sheldon Souray or whatever. But he's got a hard and accurate wrist shot that, most importantly, he's very intelligent about using. You don't lead the league in goals with that shot without being damn smart about it.

He also has a pretty quick release and it is very accurate as you say so he scores a lot of goals coming flying in like a winger from within the hash marks.

Rielly '19: ES 19:07, 17gls, 49pts / PP 2:33, 2gls, 18pts

Kaberle '06: ES 16:06, 2gls, 16pts / PP 7:32, 6gls, 51pts

Holy frickin' heck. That is an absolutely MINDBLOWING comparison...literally a mirror image of pp vs even strength
This was only 13 yrs ago! You can argue different era, and for sure a team (and a season) where there were more power plays, but c'mon now . . . that is a ridiculous difference.

Wonder what the spread is between Rielly and his current peers this season?

 

[7even]

He also has a pretty quick release and it is very accurate as you say so he scores a lot of goals coming flying in like a winger from within the hash marks.

Definitely, his goal last night was a perfect example of his improved release.

Great player. Love watching him.

I started thinking that if you don't have brute force, have an element of surprise. The best shooters seem to have quick release and the least amount of tells. Quick, random, look off balance when you shoot, fake the pass, hesitation. Be weird about it or quick about it but hit the target.

He shored up his aim, kinda always looked awkward about it anyways, and voila!
