I've been easy on him, but no more. It is time for Rielly to get off the power play. He had all the Leafs, including Nylander, collapsing on the net because they all expected him to shoot. And nothing. 10 seconds gone like that.
I don’t understand where they put Matthews on the PP. he’s not in a good spot to shoot playing low along the boards. Why is our best shooter in a low scoring position
The play dies on his stick. He either holds off on shooting or holds the puck too long before passing and it lets defenders cheat off him. I would honestly rather have Sandin/Muzzin on the PP.

Why is our best shooter in a low scoring positionOn the 1st PP all 4 WPG skaters were drawn to Matthews. Rielly was up top, no threat at all. Nylander wasn't even in the camera picture on the right side. They've got nothing.
Quote from: Sandinius on May 14, 2021, 09:31:52 PMRielly is turning into Gardiner.If his offence was stronger I might be able to forgive some of his defensive mistakes thinking of him as more of an extra forward but he's not that productive and he's not getting it done on the PP.I'm not even sure I'd resign him when the contracts is up. Hopefully Sandin will be the new #1 by then.Until this year Rielly's been a good offensive d-man. But yeah, I wouldn't be averse to letting him go.

What the hell is ONeill going on about Nylander on that play? Nylander wasn’t in a position to back up Rielly on that play. Two forwards below the has marks and Nylander in the middle of the zone just above them. That’s entirely on Rielly to judge that it’s a bad pinch scenario because there isn’t a high forward ready to back him up
