1. Every time I see Reilly or Domi on the ice, I know something bad is going to happen to us….. Does anyone show these guys the repeat defensive errors they make…. Time after time…. Game after game….. I'm baffled how it keeps occurring …. Reilly = good trade bate??

2. 3 opposition members on the ice and Reilly misses his guy.
   Matthews says how it means so much to break the record. I wish he was so dedicated in the playoffs.

3. Hey, leafs all-time leading scorer the Cap, AM. Well done now let's run it up. Oh almost forgot, Max that guy on the backside is your guy, stop puck watching and be in position. If you're in position that shot doesn't happen. Be better be aware. Decent game got a point on the road. Ok on to the next let's get 2 boys. Peace ✌️😎.

4. Reilly is costing the Leafs big-time. Bench him

5. "Couple of mistakes"… From who Morgan?

6. Why not make Reilly forward?

7. Rielly, why is this guy playing in overtime? He's a forward, doesn't know how to play defence (-4). Coaches have to do better!

8. Reilly was only for 3 goals against, ouf.

9. Even JT looks disappointed too in his return in NY, we had the lead the whole time and we end up on the losing side of it in OT, just why, just why?!

10. Watched the highlites this morning, Matthews ,you were on for all 3 islander goals ,so you were -1.. SO you have a new LEAF record, useless from a team who has done nothing for almost 60 years. But you will have your bronze statue outside with your earrings and purse ,along with the other HEROES ????? ,but notice no rings on their hands

11. Asking Reilly multiple questions about Matthews…? No one has the sack to ask him what he was thinking on that last play …? Dash 4 on the night ..

12. Time for #44 to move on go to Vancouver they need you

13. Matthews = Clown show that only cares about personal records. He will do just enough for the idiotic leafs ownership and management to give him another big contract. After that his production will drop even lower than it is now. Enjoy NEVER winning a cup with Matthews. Leafs management is still working to build a team around Matthews. That's how dumb they are. 10 years of failure hasn't been enough.

14. Trade him away for leafs sake..

15. Congrats Mathew’s! Well done! Rielly screwed up, he knows it. The coach will sort it out.

16. morgan pylon

17. Why don’t they ask Morgan Riley a real question? Like asking him about Austin Matthews. We will ask Austin about Austin. Ask Morgan about his -4.

18. Get rid of Rielly already.

19. Why dont they ask Rielly the hard questions, like. why did you suck. PLease trade him, or at least ist him. He was on the ice for all goals and blew the OT, couildnt defend an 18 year old kid. HOly crap. He must be related to someone in management to be this bad and still get Ice time every night. Please dont put him on the OT line anymore. He has mad plays, but for every one good play there are 4 or 5 bad ones

20. The boys were playing really well this this game to win an some players were playing really well and our captain shows up and reily man you have been so bad honestly it so terrible play better defensively wake up

21. so max is already back to just assisting matty,… who here remembers the Leafs were getting into playoff form, then max DUMMY obsesses with getting matty to 70, no thought of the team or winning or being playoff-minded, then leafs start 0 and 3 in round one, before waking up. johnny T is like late sedins now, looked great early but age equals exhausted. who remembers that in mitch or matty or morgan absence, that TEAM leafs went on a winning streak – every time!! finally, who remembers that GM Trembling had to get a 2nd line cntr and top 4 RHD, both under 30 year old, on july 1st. 2023

22. the problem isn't that rielly sucks the problem is for over a decade they've tried to make him a number 1 when he's a true 3/2( at best) he's not a power play guy but yet they still wheel him out there time and time again bc they don't have a guy. he needs to be pp/pk 2 plays 20 mins a night but not against the superstars of the league.. that's not a rielly problem that's a organization problem that has never been fixed. i feel for him bc most fans like in this section don't understand that… that's it winner was his fault bc schaefer was wide open but reality is that play started with a bad line change, which made knies coming off the bench to be forced to the same side but he's on the back side of the player so if rielly doesn't go to the same side barzel is gonna have a open shot. which leave schaefer wide open. that play happened 90 percent not bc of rielly but bc of a bad change
