Ya such a liability.

Rielly got decked yikes. Seems to be alright, gets right back up and steals the puck in the offensive zone.

Bodies are flying everywhere. Entertaining game.

LeeIs · 11-14-2012, 10:36 PM

Russians are taking the body. Reilly got smoked there.

FlareKnight · 11-14-2012, 10:37 PM

That was a rough hit. Though seems like Rielly saw him and avoided it as best as he could while moving that puck. Got back up instantly though.

Rielly got hammered there. Gets right up and joins the rush. I like that. Getting up and seeming motivated.

Nice little play to clear the zone there.

Rielly nice D.

Then dead tired makes a nice rush.

I am liking this kid.

The talent is great, but got to love the effort and competitiveness. He'll play as hard as he can out there until he gets to the bench

Blows my mind how Reinhart was selected 4th overall. So unimpressive at both ends. He has good size though...

TheLeastOfTheBunch · 11-14-2012, 10:49 PM

Rielly isn't afraid of getting hit in order to make a good play. Does that in both ends in the WHL.

TheMadHatTrick · 11-14-2012, 10:50 PM

Rielly has been the most noticeable player in this game along with Nicushkin, Yakupov, and Namenkov.

I was really looking forward to seeing Pulock play, and even more so because he was paired with Rielly, but he doesn't look comfortable out there and their chemistry isn't great. He's given the puck away a few times, and looks like he'd prefer to carry the pick up but Rielly is doing it instead (they nearly ran into each other too). Bad game for him so far. Hopefully he picks it up.

He's got lots of range, actually pretty good in the d zone but he can look awkward at times and always makes the simple play.

Maxim Shalunov has been very dynamic aswell. He's been one of their more consistent forwards. McNeil has looked good in spurts too.

hockeygeek · 11-14-2012, 10:54 PM

One thing I have noticed is that Rielly is not being giving much time against the top line. I don think he's been out against yakupov all night

Yeah, him too. Don't know all the Russian's names.

So funny.....and untrue.

The Podium · 11-14-2012, 10:57 PM

Have not been impressed by Murray or Reinhart at all. Murray plays too safe and too simple, and Reinhart just seems lost and awkward.

It's almost exclusively Murray

Peasy · 11-14-2012, 10:58 PM

These announcers have a hard on for Rielly. They work for the leafs or something?

I'm pretty sure I've seen him paired up against the Yakupov line on occasion. The Sissons/McNeil line appears to be the forward line, up against their top group.

What do you mean? Rielly has been unreal whenever he has had the puck and he's getting attention for it. Even other posters here on HF have taken notice in their super series threads.

hockeygeek · 11-14-2012, 11:03 PM

Ya I'm going to make a point of paying closer attention in the third to the matchup but I've noticed Murray gets the tough matchups

hockeygeek · 11-14-2012, 11:04 PM

Seems like maybe th coach was leaning towards Rienhart more at the end of the second actually

He definitely is.

Kulemon · 11-14-2012, 11:08 PM

It actually looks like Rielly is getting hardly any ice time compared to the other two pairings. It's very frustrating because he creates stuff whenever he is out there.

Penalty Kill Icing · 11-14-2012, 11:11 PM

Reminds me of me and my friend playing NHL 12 on PS3 for first time. Neither could score a goal until shootout started.

OK. I lied. We couldn't score even after some 20 rounds of shootout, at which point we decided to end the game.
