Leafs Defenseman Morgan Rielly's Never-Ending Struggles Have Led To Some Uncomfortable Questions
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly has not been particularly good this season and a lot of fans are starting to get fed up with his on-ice regression.
Morgan Rielly has completely regressed this season and in every single game, fans cannot help but notice that he has become more of a detriment than a real asset.
Morgan Rielly has Maple Leafs fans angry, especially on social media
Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Boston Bruins and despite the win, Rielly was not particularly good.
The team scored six goals and despite being the franchise's most offensively minded defenseman, he could not manage a single point.
Furthermore, he finished with a +/- of 0 which is another knock against him.
At this point, fans are becoming extremely frustrated with Morgan Rielly, and that frustration was very apparent on social media, as you can see below.
There are some fans out there who believe the defenseman might be suffering from some sort of injury issue that is keeping him from achieving his potential.
Meanwhile, others are upset with how much money he is making relative to his putrid production totals.
The Maple Leafs will need to figure something out eventually here, because whatever is going on right now, simply is not acceptable.
Rielly has the potential to get you 60 or 70 points per season, but that is not going to happen based on his current pace.
Hopefully, Rielly can bounce back against the Philadelphia Flyers and show the hockey world that he is still a talented defenseman.
