In a recent episode of The JD Bunkis Podcast, Anthony Petrielli discussed the Toronto Maple Leafs' ongoing struggles with injuries and their offensive woes from the defensive unit. He emphasized Morgan Rielly's disappointing season and the impact of his defensive partners, highlighting that poor partnerships could be contributing to Rielly's lack of offensive output. Petrielli criticized the team's inability to create effective point-shot opportunities, mentioning several missed chances in a game against Columbus where defensemen were not adequately challenged, leading to ineffective offense.
The Leafs really struggle to create any sort of point-shot presence... they couldn't get it through the first layer. If you were looking at the net, there were two Leafs there.
Morgan Rielly is not having a great season... he needs to have a good partner. Philippe Myers is not a high-end, established partner in the league.
