LD Morgan Rielly - Moose Jaw Warriors, WHL (2012 Draft)

[sniper81]

"You know hes the gift that keeps on giving". Ive heard guys gush over players before but Morgan might need a restraining order. Nice to see him get the winner infront of his hometown.

[FishManSam]

Wow, he was incredible in that highlight package.

It's funny cause he's that explosive almost every night though.

Note: that's the Vancouver play by play team.

At first I thought I was watching a Morgan Rielly highlight package! Then I saw the name of the video and it confirmed that.

That was pretty impressive.

Love the leafs or hate them..... Nobody can say this kid isnt absolutely amazing.

Looks like Paul Coffey for real

Going to be a franchise star

I hope he gets traded to a contender after the world Jr's, I want to see what this kid can do on a better team.

Why? He's going to be playing for us anyway

[Stop Winnin]

Honestly, I didn't think the video was that impressive... I was expecting something incredible with the way everyone was commenting on it.

I don't see how the kid isn't going to be a star though, his skating is incredible, his vision is incredible, his hands are incredible, he's got the full package, Leaf fans should be excited about this kid. The hype is warranted.

If only he didnt have a feather powered shot hed be the most completely prospect since Wendel.

He's got a good wrist shot, slap shot could be more powerful though for sure.

That's the joke.

See a lot of Karlsson in his game. Kid is scary good.

There must have been 3-4 articles on him in the two main Vancouver news papers before that game.

[Raym11]

yeah he looks as smooth as Karlsson



Would love a Karlsson clone

[Hale The Villain]

Doesn't play anything like Karlsson though, not a good comparison

Rielly is currently in on 41.6% of Moosejaw's goals scored this season. Crazy.

[maplehawk]

Duncan Keith still stands as the best comparison in my opinion, in terms of playing style. He may never reach that level but he is a Keith-like player.

Really?? Explain? I Can't really think of many other players that would be a better comparison.

He's a cerebral player like Karlsson, in vision and passing. He can find his teammates in those open spaces and he has the creativity and hockey IQ like Karlsson where all you need is to play him with a guy that can finish and he can put up a good number of points. But all the physical properties like shooting, skating, dekes and physical play/lack of physical play is different. Different build too.

Brian Leetch. Not to say he'll be as successful, but he plays the same game style.

This. I think he can dangle a bit better, but we'll see. I expect great things from this guy.

Since good ol' Pierre won't be there for his own drinking game, I came up with a drinking game of my own.

Step 1: Take a drink every time Miller or Ferraro gushes over Morgan Rielly.

Step 2: Drunk.

Playing this game and probably listening to No Koi Yokan while I'm doing it.

I wonder if they'll be doing the same for Frankie Corrado.

I'm as envious of Leafs fans for having Rielly as Leafs fans are envious of us Habs fans for having Galchenyuk.
