He played with Barrie, Muzzin most of the time. Again your talking about offense and holding a line and pinching.... none of that has to do with once they get past the line and he can't do shit besides sit in front of the net because he will lose every board battle and every dump into the zone.
And your also talking about the playoffs in talking about in general.
No, you don't know what you're talking about and clearly didn't watch or understand what you were watching. In the playoffs Rielly played 74 minutes with Ceci, 15 with Holl, 12 with Dermott and Barrie and 0 minutes with Muzzin at 5v5.
He played 30:49 the entire regular season with Muzzin. They both play LD, they don't play together. This isn't an especially good lie you're trying to tell.
Rielly was the only defenseman that could beat the forecheck and turn the puck the other way. The idea that he shied away from contact is nonsense. I don't get the impression that your opinion is bound by reality though.
