Hey there! Did you see that Morgan Rielly just hit the 800-game milestone with the Maple Leafs? That's such an impressive achievement, especially considering he's been with the team since he was drafted fifth overall in 2012. It’s amazing to see how he’s developed over the years, becoming a key player on the blue line.

I think it’s pretty fitting that he scored in that game, even though it ended in a loss to the Bruins. It just shows his resilience and commitment to the team. Rielly has had some standout seasons, like that 2018-19 campaign where he racked up 72 points. It’s a shame the Leafs have struggled with blue line production recently, but Rielly’s consistency is something to admire.

He’s climbing the ranks in the franchise’s history too, sitting 11th in all-time games played for the Leafs and making his mark among the top defensemen. It’s exciting to think about what he can achieve in the next few seasons. Do you think he’ll break into the top 10 for games played? And how do you feel about the Leafs' chances this season with him leading the defense?
